I dived with Borneo Speedy Dive this month. They seemed to be one of the largest local shops. 4 days of fun diving including 2 days at Sipadan cost RM2850, so I considered it a good deal. They have many different packages. I can send you the information sheet I received from them if you need...

I wish I could do that, but I can't. Things might come up and I would hate to change my plan or cancel and lose my deposit. :crying: I usually make travel reservations a few months in advance. Most people I know don't start thinking about where to take their next vacation until a month or 2...

I've looked at different itineraries on liveaboard.com but haven't looked into specific boats. The reason I asked is because I hope to wait for the airlines to release their winter schedule and deals (if any) to decide what is best for me. What's the main difference between booking with an...

I want to do a liveaboard to the Similans this Nov/Dec. How far in advance do you guys usually book before space can run out?

I want to try my first liveaboard trip this year. Now I'm a bit worried......

Is downloading the app alone enough if immigration wants to check? Do I have to open the app and register for an account?

Thanks for the information. I guess this is a topic for a different discussion. It seems like you are a fan of computers using Buhlmann algorithm? I have read other posts say that Cressi Leonardo is a perfectly fine entry-level computer?

I wanted to buy a Cressi Leonardo computer a year ago but eventually didn't. The price was around USD169. Fast forward to today, I was checking it out again on Amazon and found the current price is USD229! Did I remember last year's price wrong or I have been living under a rock while prices...

Just watched it was amazing. Wonder if these cave divers are active on this forum? Were other cave diving experts on this forum contacted when this was happening?

It's an effective thriller, one "oh no" moment after another. I can't comment on the science/skill aspects of diving in the film because I would not know what to do in such a situation(except that I wouldn't jump into the water at all upon seeing the falling rocks:happywave:), but I understand...

What a funny and intelligent creature. The man didn't specify what life problems he is having, but it does feel like he's having an affair. :D

Hi ginti, I don't live near water so unfortunately I can't scuba dive every week. In fact, I probably won't be able to try out a lot of the stuff suggested here until my next trip to the beach. I appreciate very much the many detailed instructions you guys have posted on this thread regarding...

That's 100% me too. :clapping:

Many of you have pointed to overweight as the possible culprit here, and upon more reflection of my experiences, I think you are probably right. I checked my divelog and it turned out I was given 3kg(6.6lbs) more weight in my aow course than in my ow course(my physique hasn’t changed much), and...

Hello. Relatively new diver here who recently finished padi aow. I used most of my aow dives to improve my buoyancy skills and I have one question: After establishing neutral buoyancy, your body still ascends or descends as you inhale or exhale. Maybe I inhaled too much or at the wrong moment...

Thanks for all your replies. Basically every agrees that it's not worth the risk unless the seller gives information on how exactly it is refurbished. This is not on ebay but on a online shop, and I haven't got a reply after I emailed them about this item. So I will stay away from it for now.

Hello everyone new diver here. I'm looking for an entry-level dive computer and I came upon this deal online. (picture attached) I'm mostly curiously about what "refurbished" means here. I know there are all kinds of other refurbished electronics for sale on the internet, but I've never...

Very informative. Do you know what diving is like in Shenzhen?

Update: successfully completed the online program and received my certification. I got it issued by another shop I chose randomly and they also did it for free. Regarding the course, I was a little disappointed that the whole material is not well organized and the text is poorly written. Each...

Yes I did see that information. Is he still offering it? I guess I had just figured out the steps and haven't got to contacting my training center yet. Btw how long did it take you to finish reading all the chapters?
