    DIR- GUE GUE Compatible BPW

    I have to chime in here with my experience. I'm sure you have read up on their requirements (non bungee wing, solid backplate, continuous webbing, 5 d rings, etc). And there are many many brands that manufacture equipment that fits those requirements. But this was my experience with everything...

    Dive comp with freedive capabilities?

    hi all I have the shearwater perdix AI. unfortunately, it doesn’t come with a freedive mode. How important is it that I use a computer with freedive mode when freediving? Isn’t time and depth all that’s important, which is something the perdix is fully capable of? Thanks all!

    12 boys lost in flooded Thai cave

    Hi everyone... Genuine question here: why did they use tanks instead of rebreathers? Wouldn’t rebreather have made more sense? They wouldn’t have to place tanks along the route every night. Nor would they have to switch tanks in the middle of the route. Are the closed circuit units too big?

    Batangas to Sabang ferry discontinued July 1?

    I just came back from Puerto Galera. Was able to take a Banca from Sabang to Batangas on June 27. I can’t speak for July. I can also say that Muelle to Sabang tricycle transfers are very very common and you will not have a problem getting a transfer in Muelle. So fear not! You’ll get to Sabang...

    Lessons Most frightening moments

    I'm only 19 dives in, so this "most frightening moment" probably does not compare at all with all of yours. This was on my previous dive with a Divemaster in Puerto Galera, Philippines. We were descending upon the Alma Jane Wreck (97 ft), when we met some very strong current. The current knocked...

    Hello from Houston, TX

    Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a while now, so I thought it'd be best to start posting! Hubby and I got OW certified in Maui, HI, in March 2018 (with Maui Dreams). We then got our AOW in Cozumel, in May 2018 (with Aldora Divers). Because I'm a teacher, I get the summers off, and am free to...
