OK so no one rates the P.A.D.I dive master qualification as a matter of fact i don't either - another Piece of American shit if you ask me!
The proof of the pudding is where you dive and all my dives, bar about 300 have been done in British waters which is hard diving. Black as shit, cold and with strong currents. Yea yea you big boys - I was a SAS diver and dived 1 million dives in the Barents straits with a shortie on...yawn.
Diving is about having fun wherever. If you enjoy the sport then that is fine but bring 'padi is shit my one is better' into it is childish. Its all good fun and enjoyable.

think you may have been the one who started it by telling everyone that you were a PADI DM.Randy Cornhole wrote:I spoke to the owner of the dive shop in Hua Hin and he told me that - yes the shore diving is shit but motor out 10kms and its good. Being a PADI divemaster myself i believe him! so don't poo poo diving in Hua Hin is all i'm saying.
Prescription masks
I know this has bugger all relevance but anyone know where/how much regarding diving masks with prescription lenses?
Its no fun diving when you can't see I can tell you!

Agree with you here Nikki. Not fun at all when you can't see a thing without wearing glasses.NikkiSixx wrote:I know this has bugger all relevance but anyone know where/how much regarding diving masks with prescription lenses?

Try this link and see if it makes you any wiser.

I intend to live forever - so far so good.
I have a mask with prescription lenses, cost around 3,000 baht. Obviously you can't buy dive gear in Hua Hin so I'd recommend Diver's Emporium on Koh Tao or Dive Supply in Bangkok.

Chumphon is three hours drive south, did a trip report here last time I went:

Diving is pretty good, far more marine life than Tao though viz does vary, should cost around 1,800 baht for two dives (plus park fee).
Would not advise going with Cabana, try Easy Divers in the town itself.
Let me know if you decide to go and need a buddy, may join you!

Strange about that post is that:Randy Cornhole wrote:I was a SAS diver and dived 1 million dives in the Barents straits with a shortie on...yawn.
The Bering sea is nowher near the British Isles.
The SAS do not have divers. They are highly trained land base operatives. As said in the post above the SBS do all the wet and cold stuff.
To make one million dives you would need to make one hundred every day from the age of 19 to 45.

Think Guess and I worked that out from day one but just keeping up the banter,was amazed by Guess's poor geography though,Bering Straight is between Russia and Alaska and freezes over in winter,Barents sea is north of the Kola peninsular but much closer to UK but both are definite places for instant hypothermia

Diving People
There is an event in Bangkok next spring
Asia Diving Expo...one might have a look at that...BTW, I've noticed that there is some showing of rank and claiming of expertise......Odd, as Scuba is a recreation and not a competative sport!
bhttp://www.asiadiveexpo.com
more info on the show...Out at the new conventin center near to SwuannaBoom
http://www.asiadiveexpo.com/ADEX07_factsheet.htm
See you at the show!
BTW, lthe day prior to the ADEX show there will be a meeting of PADI Course Directors for their Update program. Now please note there is no showing of rank by noting this program as it is not open to the public and only opne to Course Directors. I will be conducted by PADI Asia Pacific, which is located in Aus. Now, how did I know about that ?
