Hi all, I just recently received a new Dragon AT BCD as a warranty replacement for my Morphos pro (man, Mares customer service is the best!:coffee::coffee::coffee:). A tear developped that they were unable to repair. These things happen and that's when you see just how much a company backing...

Sorry, but I just wanted to answer the last post about UCMEs "volunteer" program, but I didn't want to highjack the original thread any more. So I'll try to answer in this thread... If the moderator thinks this is out of place, well feel free to delete it... I'd just like to say that I have...

Argh!!!! I missed out meeting with Maggie and Zee while they were in PG! :shakehead::shakehead: Zee came to see me at the divedojo and I was supposed to try to hook up with them after my diner plans... but the San Miguel and jet lag cought up to me! I was totally zonkered and out like a light in...

Hey all, 1 week left before I leave!!!:D:D:D:D Can't wait. I was just wondering is there are any typical Philippino delicassies I need tro try while I'm over there, other than San Miguel...:eyebrow: And please, no suggestions of Sabangs renowned "Fresh clams"...:rofl3::rofl3: I love good...

Guy and gals, since I'm going to be in PG for a while, I was wondering if you all think it would be worth it for me to try to get to APO reef for a few days of diving? Is it worth the time/ expense to get there? Wether going through the dive OP on Padan, or through a liveaboard, it seems kind of...

Hey all, first a quick question about Puerto Galera. Does anybody know if there are any ATM machines there? Where I could get Pesos rather than go through a change office? I know there is the airport, but there is a 500$ daily max on my card and I'm staying for 5 weeks, so that won't be...

Hi all, it's time for me to get crackin about my trip and I need to buy a voltage converter because my Canadian/US appliances surely won't work in PG. I searched the forum, but didn't find the info. So can somebody help me out? What voltage/ frequency will I find in PG? What type of plug is...

Hi all, I just got myself a finger spool will 100' of line (great deal at Scubatoys:eyebrow:) and am a newbie to these things. It's small, to I plan on stowing it in my BC pocket and bringing it out when I need to deploy my SMB (yes, I'm going to practice whenever I get a chance :14:). SO I was...

Well guys and galls of the PPD, it's now official that I'm going to be doing my DM course in Puerto Galera as many of you suggested to me! Following BabyD's advice, I contacted Ethei of the Dive-dojo and talked it over with him a bit. He was very nice and seems to really know his stuff, on top...

Well, I just can't believe it.:confused: How in Hades did Scubatoys manage to get my order to my door in 24 hours???? And to add to the task, they were suppose to need to order an item for me (OK, maybe they found one in stock), use UPS as a shipping method (:shakehead:), and I live in...

Hi all, I need your help again! As you all know, I was considering doing my DM course in the Philippines. More specifically in Malapascua. Well it's coming down to me actually being able to pull this off and talking with other members here, I've started wondering about a few things and need the...

Hi all, I'm a Philipines newbie and need some help! I've looked over the posts and didn't find a good newbie intro information post, so I'm posting here. If it's already been covered, if you could point me in the direction of the post, I'd appreciate it. If not, here is basically what I'm...

Hi Phil, Hi Zak, I was just curious (as are others I'm sure) if Mares have any intentions of getting into the Hoseless Air Integrated computer market? Not that there is anything wrong with the Airlab console... But transmitters seem to be very "in" these days. I was just curious? Anything you...

Hi all, I'm thinking of making myself a "leaning stick" to help with my underwater photography (especially closeups). Basically, just a rod to prop myself on a spot of dead coral so I can get close yet still steady myself without damaging the coral. My buoyancy is pretty good, but not good...

Hi all, I'm still daydreaming about being able to convince my girlfriend about a dive trip to Utila...:shakehead And being able to use my airmiles for 2 tickets halfway there (from Canada to anywhere there is a connecting flight) would reduce the cost and certainly play in my favor to convince...

Hey all, having been to Roatan, I'm starting to think that Utila would be a good spot for a next dive trip, especially since seing whale sharks ranks high on my to do list!:D I was just wondering a bit about the utila whale shark experience and how dive OPs actually go about integrating this...

Hi all, forgive me if this topic has already been posted; I did a quick search and came up with nothing, so decided to post it hoping it would be interesting for others also. I was just wondering to myself, what are the best value dive destinations in the world today? Obviously, this will...

Hi all, I'm starting to play around with my images taken during my recent dive trip, and basically, I know very little about Photoshop and the main functions to improve images! I'm not looking to make world class images. Just improve the ones that aren't all that great but are great memories. So...

Hi all, I need a replacement for the retractor I have my camera housing clipped to. The cetacea model I had crapped on me after just 15 dives... I was generally looking for a medium strength retractor with a locking mechanism so my camera isn't always getting pulled back. Any have any...
