Andaman Sea, beginning of November?
Sat, 06 Oct 2007 06:11:05 -0700
Hello,
I'm thinking about taking a diving trip to Thailand's Similan Islands
at the beginning of November. Some sources say the monsoon season's
over by then; some dive shops have said that at that exact time it's
day-today as to what the weather will be like then.
As I have to book my flight & reserve my spot ...

Flying with Regs
Thu, 04 Oct 2007 13:07:15 -0700
All,
We have a full set of Scubapro regs with guages. Do we need to take
the guages off the regs and store them as hand luggage, or will they
be ok in the general bage store??? I just figured, as they are
sensative to pressure, the hold may cause problems.
What do others do?
John.

2008 Spring & Neap Tides
Sun, 30 Sep 2007 19:32:02 GMT
If you're looking to plan your UK dive trips for 2008, I have produced
the spring and neap tide graphs for next year.

Tide heights used are for Cardiff, to accentuate the graphs but, the
spring and neap tide dates will be correct for anywhere in the UK.

Decompression
Wed, 26 Sep 2007 18:07:50 +0100
Yo
Long time ago someone told me he had to come up in a hurry becaouse of
running low on air and was given a new tank and sent straight down again to
finish his decompression.
This would have been 30 odd years ago. Would this have ever been the
thinking? Would it be valid in an emergancy?
Cheers BB

I have seen some good things said about the Vivitar 5188, but all the
reviews all above surface, and w ...

Wed, 19 Sep 2007 07:04:11 -0700
What interest me is that the vast majority of diving incents if not
all involve dives with buddy's so how good is the buddy system well
after nearly 30 years of diving I've not seen much evidence to support
it as being a safer way of diving.
By fare and away most id not all of my diving has been doe with a
budd ...
