This may be a long shot, but would someone have a used, well-cared for Zeagle Ranger bladder they'd be interested in selling? If so, PM me with the number of dives and a price. I use PayPal.

I'm looking for a wide angle lens for my Nikon Coolpix L18/Ikelite housing combo. The housing takes a 46mm lens straight up, or will accommodate a 67mm wide angle lens with the addition of an...

Is anyone shooting with the Nikon Coolpix L18 and Ikelite housing combo available from ScubaToys? I've just ordered it, but waiting for Aramex to forward it from New York. I'm wondering if anyone...

Two weekends ago I had a bumper round at Old Club Reef-- the training reef near Sealine Resort, an hour or so south of Doha. Old Club Reef is a series of man-sunk items-- cars, boats, toilets (yep),...

Props for your tips-- these were very thoughtful, well-worded observations.

I use a neoprene bathing suit cap (Speedo makes them), and secure it with bobby pins, and it works pretty well. I totally hear you on the long hair thing getting in your face.

I, too, notice that exposure protection and general water temperature make a difference. About a month earlier, we had bottom temps of 18C, and I was ending at about 80, 85 bar following a 50 minute...

Am currently exciting... my dive buddy and I are headed to Oman next month for a long weekend. We'll stay/dive with Oman Dive Center. I said the huts were "cute" and insisted that we had to stay in...

Diving is a lot like martial arts. You're always a beginner, no matter what your level is. As Dive-aholic just said too, there is always a new challenge.

But it's good to not get too caught up...

I think the coolest part about going to the "other" islands is they aren't so widely dived. For instance, going to Sibuan and seeing the mandarin fish for the first time... and then seeing the...

So I'm finally getting to the actual diving. Note that I say 'Sipadan' when I'm actually referring to the entire area accessible from Semporna, not just Pulau Sipadan itself. This is kind of normal...

You may have seen my report on the accommodation part of the SJ experience. Now here's the dive shop part. I deliberately separated them out, as they are like night and day.

The dive shop was...

Yes, of course I dived at Sipadan while I was there, but I was on here with questions about other logistics. So I'll split the reports.

Air Asia: I flew Air Asia from KL to Tawau, then back. I...

Hey, I just saw this. Thanks for the information! I'm a medical librarian with Cornell, so something like this is a good resource to keep in mind.

I'm living in Qatar. Specifically, I was diving in the Arabian Gulf, just off the coast south of Doha. I'm kind of wondering what species we have here too. I must have really ran into something...

As I know a lot of more experienced medical types lurk here, I am hoping someone can give me solid advice.

Today's Friday, where I am. Last Saturday, the 28th of October, I was stung by...

First and foremost, thank you for the straightforward post. As a medical librarian, I find it hard to sometimes find resources which present materials in an accessible manner.

Another point to...

Mmm... I snorkeled first. Coming from Montana, where there's no real tropical fish life, I was absolutely astonished by the life I saw in the water in Southern Thailand. On the second round, there...

He he... oh, I don't know. I certainly wasn't going in that direction, as I 'spect you're still using your book. If you wanted to sell it, though, give me a PM. I'm still in the States (in...

Mmm... the main page wouldn't open.

It's working now, though. Have no fear :)

It looks like it will be a good site, when it takes off.

Poseidon, I tried to go look at your handiwork, but I got a nastygram saying the page couldn't be opened. Look forward to seeing what you've done. :)

I totally agree- Rob & Jen's rescue course is stellar! I had the privilege of taking it with them in April, and would love to take their Master Scuba Diver challenge.

Ah, Hunter! Have you been to the Fire Hole yet?

I see your point with the book, for sure. Plus, if you build more than one light, and you get to where you have the process down pat, you can...

Not that I'm trying to be a piker, but what would the cost be to build your own canister light? It looks like you could get it done for between $100 and $200. Maybe not even that, if you took your...

Aha. Cheers for the insight! I'm not diving a drysuit, so afraid they'd be too big for me. I've only got a small foot. :(
