i have to agree with arizona, take pattaya diving for what it is. we all know its not the similans but what you do get there is the chance to get in amongst some wrecks plus varying conditions for training which IMO which better prepares you for real world diving. it is also close to bangkok...

I have a canon A570is with canon housing and felt like spending some money on it. I was wondering if a flash had to come first or if it would work o.k with the inon adaptor and boyonet macro/wide angle lenses before buying the flash? My guess is probably o.k for the WA but not the macro. Can...

i like the skorpionfish portrait, cool view. im always astonished when i see SB members underwater photos. thanks for shareing

driftwood has it bang on, if you are non muslim or dont work there forget it. look on the bright side, it makes the decission process easier!

Indonesia and Bali to be precise, it is mola mola season around then of the east coast. i have never been to indonesia before but after reading a lot of threads here on SB it sounds like a diving meca with most places to dive year round and some like Bali in july-october a cant miss. just my...

hi, i did a similans LOB over new year and organised it through Phuket Scuba Club just look them up on google. they have a couple of shops but are very good at arranging LOB trips for you, the owners are very nice people and are in the know so they know all the boats and have good feedback on...

if you want to see big stuff you can never rule out palau! but as you say you are after macro PI certainly has this in abundance. all the SB locals will help you out with exactly where to go but it might be an idea to give them a heads up on exactly what it is your after. my opinion is if you...

hi, thanks to you both for the reply but its ramadan in september so im going to pass. maybe xmas. i contacted lumba2 and they were more than helpful, i would def dive with them in the future.

go online if you know exactly what your after, like a computer or if you know your size of bc/ wetsuit. go to google uk then find "products" you will have to select more options to get there, put in what you want and the cheapest is there for you. deep blue online store have good deals. I went...

i dont believe it!! sharx, how is this happening? you know i think i am going to join you. i travel solo so it would be good for me, pm me with your plans. i havnt booked a flight yet but got some business in bkk from 15th that should be wrapped up inside a week so it fits nicely with my plans...

o.k Pl Weh has been scrapped because of ramadan, bit of a shame really so i will just put it on the list of places to dive. my new plan thanks to live in sin is to go bali east coast and try my luck with the mola mola's as i see its not an opportunity to miss. i know the water is going to be...

am i right in saying that when you purchase a vyper /2 you dont get the sotware or cable?

thanks a lot guys and girls, i really appreciate the input. i kinda got my heart set on going tp Pl Weh but due to ramadan my head says "just wait till xmas". i think a lot has to do with the poss plankton blumes and what they attract plus lumba2 were great in there response and that goes a long...

Hi, basically i had been using a mosquito but it was always on the edge of deco way before other suunto (stinger's ghecko's d6/9's) users in my group, this happened doing 2 dive days and it spat the dummy on a liveabord. consequently i scraped it and i am coming up to my next trip and holy cow...

hi sharx, looks like im following u around some good dive destinations. i sent an email to lumba2 in Pl Weh regarding weather conditions in Sept/Oct and they sent what must be a 500 word letter in reply. they were extremely helpful i was actually quite shocked to get such an in depth reply. i...

Hi, just a shortie. I need to confirm if Pl Weh is in season mid September to beginning of October. A couple of contrasting opinions on the board so confirmation would make my decision easy. Regards andshand.

opinion wanted on either diving redand or pulau weh? i will have about 6-7 days to leave bkk and get back although 1 more day wont kill me and the time of year will be mid september give or take 2 weeks. underwater i prefer large fish/ rays and reefs to macro but macro still v interesting to...

just read a good trip report on divernet.com travel section based around red sea at Jedah and gives it a good review. obviously only of use to people with work permits as tourists are not allowed in.

Hi Sharx, i just managed to look at the link for Jeddah. Nice shots you are taking, what set up have you got? Also cool video of the whale sharks. Any info you can give on KSA diving will be greatly recieved. Keep up the good work with that camera.

Hi sorry to hijack tread but i see sharx doesnt live in KSA but does any one else reading this? I will prob be moving to Jeddha in March 09 and want to know how diving operates there and where to get started. Regards Andy
