I'm trying to install spring straps on a pair of jet fins. I understand that I need to drill out the rivited heads of the existing pins in order to install the new straps. However, since the pins are made of stainless steel, the drill bits I have barely make a dent in them. Is there a...

Has anyone on the Board done this dive recently? I understand that the wreck has deteriorated a good bit in recent years and was wondering if it's still worth the extra cost of gas, guide, etc. Thanks in advance.

Just bought a Bare Trilam HD Tech drysuit. This is my first drysuit and I'm wondering approximately how much weight I'll need to dive with it. I'm a size ML Short and will be wearing a T100 undergarment. When diving a single AL80 in a 3mm full wetsuit, I usually need around 8 lbs. of lead...

Has anyone stayed at Out of the Blue Private Villas on Small La Laguna Beach or seen the property first hand? I'm visiting PG in early May and am debating between staying there or at Atlantis (which I stayed at in 2003 and was quite nice). Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm planning to dive Palau in late April / early May and am considering staying on Peleliu. It seems like travel times to the better dive sites are shorter from Peleliu than from Koror and the diving is a bit less expensive on Peleliu as well. I'm also interested in the historical significance...

On a recent trip to the Philippines I did some night dives with a new 21W HID light. We came across a few turtles and they all seemed to HATE it. Three of them made very fast, close charges at me and another (a hawksbill thankfully, not one of the bigger green turtles) rammed me in my side...

I just returned from a two-week trip to the Philippines. While I was diving on Tubbataha, the Eco Explorer ran aground on Tubbataha South, on the West side of the reef a couple of kilometers North of the lighthouse. The incident happened at approximately 11 PM on March 26. The ship appeared to...

I'm going to be in Puerto Princessa for a day, getting there in the morning after a few days of diving in Coron and taking off that night on a liveaboard to Tubbataha. I thought about going on a day trip to the Sabang River, but apparently it's too far to make it back before the boat leaves...

I just posted the trip report below on the scubadiving.com message board. Hope that you all enjoy it. Many thanks to those of you on this board who helped me put the trip together. Without your advice, it could have never turned out so well...

Has anyone on the board ever tried making the trip from Moalboal to Cabilao? It seems like the easiest way is to head by car to Argao and then by boat to Cabilao. The rates that I've seen for car transfers from Moalboal to Argao though are around $45 one way. This seems kind of steep to me...

I'm planning a two week trip to the Philippines for September and would like to do it in the Visayas. Is it worth trying to cram in Moalboal, Dumaguete, Panglao (esp. Balicasag) and Cabilo, or do you think it would be better to skip Moalboal, fly directly to Dumaguete and after a few days of...
