Am planning a trip to Manado at end of july, staying at the Tasik Ria resort
and diving with eco divers.
Anyone got any feedback of resort or dive providers?
How does tasik ria compare with Murex dive resort.

I,ve just bought a 2nd hand DUI 400g undersuit and although spotlessly clean it
is a bit musty.
Is it a bad idea to machine wash it?
If not, what temp, how much liquid, conditioner or not and drip or tumble dry?

Done a bit of searching re coping with freeflow, but cant find much info.
We have all breated from a freeflow reg in the pool, but are there any tips
to copy with a freeflow at depth either it it happens to yourself or ur
buddy?

Right, it's been pointed out to me that the inside of my drysuit has a
'slight odour' - or, if Zak and Frank are to be believed, 'stinks to high
heaven'. I've therefore decided that the time has come to give it a damned
good wash. It's an O'three msf500 (ie. 5mm neoprene) so I'd ...

I tried to use this Christmas prezzie for the first time yesterday and ran
into a couple of problems. Firstly I cannot use the interface with my laptop
because it only has USB ports and the interface only comes in serial. An
adaptor costs more than the interface cable!

where's the cheapest place to do an IDC/IE? I was thinking about Thailand,

I need a new book, after several years I've finally finished "Spot's Big
Adventure"...  ;-)
I'm looking for something that I can just pick up and read, but at the same
time I would like to learn something from it to further my diving.  A good

I have been told that it is not possible to get a US tank (i.e.. stamped
'DOT') filled in the UK because most US tanks do not meet European safety or
construction regulations, and no one seems to know which ones do meet the
regulations.

Anyone got any recommendations on someone wanting to do their first
post-Padi Open Water diving holiday in the area?  Places?  Holiday
companies?

Does anyone know anywhere in the UK which runs a scuba service technician
course, cheers Mark

Anyone used a Roho Quattro suit? How did you get on with it? would u buy
again?

hello all
hope the year is being kind to you all!!
I have just sourced and ordered a complete diving system for myself,
after bundles of research and tests!!

Anyone else noticed that Otter is now quoting 5weeks delivery on all
drysuits!
Looks like they did well at the show then.....

Anyone know how to get the Suunto Dive Manager profiles to print out on
paper smaller than A4?  I'd like to include them in my dive log.
It only seems to print in one size - select smaller paper from the
printer's options, and the image stays the same size (with only a little

Can anyone recommend a decent company for insuring underwater camera
equipment? I know of Divemaster, but was wondering if there are any
others.
