Awesome. We are planning a LOB in Thailand and I don't speak the language, so I am a little worried. We are booking it through liveaboard.com. So I am hoping they can clear up any issues for us, but again, they aren't the company so I would really like to contact the company directly. I will...

So I haven't really seen anything regarding this issue on the boards. I have done a search and come up with nothing. My girlfriend has celiac disease (gluten allergie, and not that trendy, "I want to be gluten free"... trust me, if she could eat gluten laden food, she would love it), and I...

Awesome..... thanks to all for the input. I think we are going to do the west side. It might be a more expensive, but as we are going to be doing altitude certification soon and dry suit, we will be able to dive plenty in Switzerland to fine tune everything. Again, thanks for the great input.

AAAAhhhhh.... I get it. I need opinions, I am torn between doing a live aboard on the west vs. shore dives from Koh Tao in April. What would you all suggest on this matter. I have never been to Thailand and would like to see as much as possible, also maximize my chances of seeing a whale shark...

So the best i have been able to find on dive prices are roughly 25.70 USD (800THB) per dive. I am not sure where you were able to get roughly 5 USD (150THB) a dive. If you can share this gem of information with me, that would be perfect. I would plan my trip around this if its true.

Where are you finding the private guides? Is this done with tank rentals? We have our own equipment, minus tanks. I would love to only spend 150BHT per dive. Could you tell me more on this matter? Also where did you dive to obtain such cheap prices? Where in Thailand did you dive? We were...

Where were your prefered dive locations during your trip. I am planning on going 2020. I am starting the planning early as it won't just consist of diving. So I would like to maximize my dive time. GF wanted to do more than dive.... humbug.

Thanks for the info, but I don't see how a hood helps while you are on a boat... could you explain? Do you mean pressure? or just temperature of the ear?

Do you really think that a hood is really necessary for my trip?

I cranked the crap out of the knot. I will be in Oman soon and will let you know. If the knot keeps slipping i will try melting it a little. I am assuming it is like melting paracord?

I was wondering about that, since i read reports that say the gulf has crazy thermoclines. But i wasn't sure, since all surf reports just give you surface water temps. Thanks for the heads up. I really appreciate it.

Ok perfect, thanks for the info. It was a tough decision to make and it was driving me crazy. Thanks again.

How cold did it get down deep? I am not sure what wetsuit to bring since the surface water temps are teetering around the 3mm range. But the last time I was in Bali we hit the thermocline and it got cold, so I was thinking of brining a 5mm no hood no gloves. Will be there Feb. the 16th through...

@Divectionist, I think i have the same knots you have. I might just have to really crank on them to make sure the knots themselves are tight. Perhaps that is the problem.

Thanks for the clarification.

So, as I read through the thread, I became confused as to which hoses have been failing. I have miflex hoses on my reg and haven't had issues with kinking, but heaven help me if they burst. I read the reports of the recall, but that was in 2012. I bought my hoses in 2016, and I hope that they...

The only issue that I have had with the bungee is that that the knot slips slowly on mine. Just tighten it before dives and I haven't had any issues.

I enjoy my Hydros but find the integrated weight system rather bulky, went with the straps and a weight belt. Plus you save some weight.

So... I finally got confirmation that my suit is getting sent. They are legit, though contact through email is a little difficult. Had to call to make sure things were alright. End.

Bump for shearwater from me as well. Had a problem with my transmitter and completely forgot about it and didn’t reply to the email. Wrote back months later and was still able to get it replaced. Perfect customer service. Received a new receiver within 4 days after reply. Was blown away.
