Scuba Equipment Bali Mares dive computer

I need to buy some scuba diving equipment in Bali and was surprised how little there was that you could buy for dive gear and it was all very expensive compared with what you can get for prices in Singapore or Thailand Bangkok.

Mares has a new air intergrated computer with compass, this will compete with the Suunto D9 dive computer as well as the D6 the Nemo looks good and I have not heard to many complaints like you use to hear on the Mares computers I had a T2 what a horrible thing that was. I sold my D9 and went instead with a Gecko and you know I really like it big face easy to read and if you lose it it is not the end of the world at roughly $300 a very reliable dive computer.

Asia Diving Bali Deep Diving Insanity?

In Tulemban a Bali scuba diver went to 83 meters according to his dive computer, he did not live to tell the tale. When teaching PADI Dive Courses the PADI instructors always stress that you need to stay with in the tables because they know that if you follow the rules that scuba diving is one of the safest sports that you can do. In the old PADI Rescue Diver instruction book they have a graph that shows accident rates for the different sports that you can do and diving is one of the safest, unfortunately when there are accidents associated with diving they tend to be fatal.

In the PADI divemaster course theory and also in the Nitrox courses they talk about oxygen toxicity and the book says that this can occur after you get an oxygen partial pressure of 1.4 to 1.6. I have talked to divers who have been deeper than 60 meters however everybody’s physiology is different so nobody can tell you when oxygen toxicity will hit you. The problem is that you go into convulsions and that there is no advance warning! The convulsions in themselves are a minor problem, the convolutions will however cause a knock-on problem of causing you to spit out your regulator and then you start breathing 100% water which is very bad for you!

Deep diving can be made safer in a few different ways getting a PADI Deep Diver Card as well as doing a Nitrox course are a good start for the Deep Diver Specialty you will need to be PADI Adventure diver to begin or have a equivalent Advanced Open Water Card from another dive agency like SSI,TDI, NAUI, BSAC or any member of the Recreational Scuba Diving Council (RSTC)
