langren Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Oh I almost got the G15 as well but then I thought I needed a compact one Never heard of the LiquidImage one.... what I want also is some software with some pre-settings for underwater color correction Yes, agreed, hence the need of a good buoyancy control technique and some patience haha. A coffee get-together sounds fun, to be organized soon, why not?I think str8 away go for refresher is better.. u can refresh ur skill and show ur gadget. .. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enelym1978 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thought using flash may hurt or confuse the fish? I rarely use flash.... I have a dive torch though... that I can direct at the subject, I think it's less stressful and scary than a flash from the camera (I think haha).

ArtyGuy21SA Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 more damage is done with divers that have not perfected their buoyancy control and trying to take pics, doing too many things at once....end up kicking and damaging these fragile coral/marine life and muddying the water for other divers... hey fellow divers, lets have a gtg and talk scuba over coffee man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngpunk Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 maybe can start with a line group? agree with enelym - when too focus on getting nice shots with many barangs, one tends to miss out on appreciating it "live" there and then~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngpunk Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 half a year hardly requires a refresher course? once you don the gears it will all come back to you i reckon. anyway on your dive trip you can always request for a check-out dive first to get some of those mojo back.

If you have been diving frequently prior to the half yearly hiatus then yes... if say you only did OW and maybe one more leisure trip and went on one year hiatus... then perhaps a refresher will be good...

Despite telling her I've >150 dives and AOW, she instructed the DM to do "orientation" with me as we dived... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enelym1978 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I thought Dive ID(the card) + Dive log is a must on any dives... ?Nope. Only serious operators will request to see your dive certificate. The log is for your own information only. I once dived in the Philippines. Operated by Europeans. I forgot my PADI card in my room and offered to go back to get it. They said "it's alright, show it to us later". They never asked me for it...Others, like in Palau, will ask to physically see your card, they will then write down your number on their guest registration form. There is another field asking when and where was your last dive. That's for you to fill. They can't verify that. I think it's our own responsibility to know what we still remember and what we don't. It's not just your life you're putting on the line but also your buddy's. So please dive responsibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enelym1978 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 By the way, who here owns his own dive equipment? Talking about BCD and regulators. I'm looking at investing a bit and getting my full gear. I already have my own mask, fins, dive comp, etc... but still missing the bigger parts: BCD and regulator.Will have a look at the Scuba Warehouse later if anyone wanna join Or is there any other big place with lots of choices for reasonable prices?
