Talking 1st timer introduction
Hi everyone,

A quick bio:

I am an Australian currently live in Singapore (last 3 years) due to work commitments.

I am trained by SSI and PADI to Rescue Diver and Nitrox certified.

I've been diving since 1995.

Most of my equipment is dir / hogarthian - from Halcyon except for my Aqualung Legend LX regs.

I enjoy underwater photography - Oly 5060 in Oly housing.

Currently looking at buying the Uwatec SmartTec computer.

All the best & safe diving.

Thumbs up
You bet...diving in Asia is amazing. Viz rarely less than 20 metres and sea full of beautiful coral, whale sharks, manta rays, sharks, etc.....

You must venture over to see for yourself. Especially Sipadan Island, in Malaysia.

Cheers,

Simon

Hi Simon
Welcome to YD
Similar rig to you with an Oly 5050 but none of this easy blue water stuff this year, however we did have 20m+ viz on occasions up in Skye (one of the scottish islands)

Mad? We're not mad? What are those bells ringing? Oh, a fire drill. This is not a daffodil. This is not a daffodil.
