Thanks Peter, I wasn't sure if the Gauge mode functioned when not connected to a tank. Thanks! --Brad

I did a search and looked through everything that turned up with Smart and UWatec in the titles but didn't find what I was looking for. What I want to know is...will the UWatec Smart Z work as a depth gauge if you're just free-diving? I've looked at the operators manual on the website but it...

Hey all, I realize this thread is old but I figured I'd post here before starting a new thread. I would like some advice/suggestions/feedback about my webpage. Here are some things you need to know: 1) I'm an independent PADI Instructor on the island of Saipan 2)There is no dive shop run by a...

Just wanted to update this message to include new websites and blogs. I've been living in Saipan for about a year and half now and I'm loving it. The diving is incredible. I'm now a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor. So, if you're coming to Saipan to dive (and who wouldn't dive while...

Hi OkieDiver! Harry's right, Saipan doesn't have any liveaboards but we do have GREAT diving and you'll see lots of great stuff. The shops are more expensive and you won't find a better tour guide than Harry. I have a blog that shows some pictures of the daily dive scene here. IF you want to...

Hi, I'm currently looking into grad schools and I'd like to be somewhere I can also continue diving. I went to the University of Iowa for my undergrad and I may go there for graduate school but I want to at least look into other schools out there. So, what can anyone tell me about (1) going to...

Just an update for anyone heading to Saipan: I've been living in Saipan now for about 3 months and diving a lot. I can now verify that the owner/staff at Dive Saipan do speak English. The owner is Jun-ho Lee and his English is great. His wife is Filipino so there's never any problem with...

Hey Steve and all the rest that offered such great advice- Just wanted to let you all know I got the Ikelite housing for my JVC hard disk drive camera and have been having fun learning the very basics of underwater videography. Here are a few of my finished videos: one is a recent underwater...

Wow! All questions answered and fast too! Thanks, that clears up a lot. I really am slow sometimes. I probably will try to get away without a light in the beginning. If I just buy the housing, I can start working on actually getting used to filming before I worry about lights. Thanks again...

Thanks for the advice Steve...I've appreciated all you've help explain so far and I'm gonna push that a bit further here. Okay, I'm getting really close to the move to Saipan where I can begin diving any day I want. So, I've been climbing the walls trying to figure out whether to get a cheap...

Here's a YouTube clip of the game...looks pretty cool. For when you can't do the real thing, that is.

It won't let me edit my last post to include some new information so I guess I have to make a new posting. Here are some blogs from Saipan divers: Harry's World Harry's awesome photo/video collection is here. Mike Tripp's Saipan Scuba Blog...again great pics and vids. Mike Tripp's Underwater...

Okay, gonna put a few links on here to other Saipan threads and to Scuba Board member's that live in Saipan or go there often. Why? When I type in Saipan into the search I get a lot of crazy results...so I've tried sifting through them and finding the ones that are useful. Saipan info...

Dale, That's great to hear about the tank fills from Speedy Tertle...I liked Alex when I was there. He was super nice and patient with my wife and I. I wrote a pretty long review of the trip but it was lost when scuba board crashed. I'll have to do that again. As for the regs...I was...

I'm not sure of the location, but I highly recommend Calypso. My wife is Korean and there is a Korean dive shop on the island, so we considered having her do her Discovery Scuba there and thereby not have any language problems. But they didn't have a pool to practice in and Calypso has that...

I'm getting ready to move to Saipan and I'd like to gather as much information as possible on diving there, dive shops, etc. I had recently contacted a member of ScubaBoard that lived on Saipan...but due to the Scuba Board crash, I lost those private messages. "Speedy Turtle" told me tank...

You've been a lot of help. It's a shame all the other posts you made were lost. Anyway, that was really useful information about the different models of cameras. And actually, I can wait for a the Gates housing to come out for the SR7. My wife and I have decided to move to Saipan in this...

Steve, sjspeck, or anyone else, what do you know of the Sony HDR SR-1 camera? There's a package here (From B&H photo) that won't break the bank...and as I've said before, I really like the ease of using my JVC Hard Disk Drive video camera. Just plug it into the computer with a USB then click...

Hey Steve (Sharksdelight), I think you gave me a rundown on what I would need for a good computer setup if I want to do some serious editing...and because of the sb crash, that's all been lost. I have a pretty good computer now...but I'll be leaving Korea soon (maybe next month) and I may have...

I used to have a lot of problems with my ears...so much so that I felt guilty holding everyone up because I'd have to descend a bit...then back up...descend a bit more...then back up. It was a drag. This may be total bs but someone on SB told me to start equalizing EARLY! Not just the day of...
