Diving & Snorkelling

I do not want to leave my ipod when snorkeling. I have an waterproof bag and plan on putting my ipod in a small "drybag" and then in this waterproof bag. My concern, post is...what about the pressure on gadgets in particular ipod to 10+m?

thanks

Will be travelling to Australia next year and am desperate to dive the barrier reef (or anywhere else if people have alternative suggestions.)

Having started a small amount of research am really amazed at the cost - but am also happy to pay for quality. Rumours I have heard include too many divers to one divemaster/guide, over populated boats, reefs etc.

So.... anyone recommend a good operator for one or two days diving (maybe more) and why? Not liveaboard as husband not diver. Am…

Looking to do my Instructor course in Ko Tao and it just seems like there are so many shops, I got my Divemaster in a really chill little spot in Honduras where there were only like two people who worked the shop and it was really awesome laid back environment, i know that the Instructor course is more rare and also done mostly at larger establishments but I am looking for a relaxed friendly environment... any suggestions on good shops on the island...?

Hi there,
I'm visiting Bali next mid-september and thinking about getting to Labuanbajo for 4-5 days, I'm not a diver but I really love snorkeling. I've been reading as much as I can on that area but while everybody agree that komodo has excellent diving someone says that most of the places around labuanbajo have been damaged by dynamite fishing therefore, except for a few sites, snorkelling is not as good, is that correct? Does anybody have any updated info on that?

Could you suggest some good…

I'll be travelling through Corsica and Sardinia from mid-September for a few weeks. Is that a good time to snorkel there? I searched and someone mentioned the Maddalena Islands in north-east Sardinia. Are there other spots worth visiting in both islands?

I've been diving in rented wetsuits, and it sucks. I'd love on of my own, and if I was going to stick around in Sydney then I'd go for something like a Waterproof semi-dry or something lovely and warm like that!

I'm hoping, though, to get a placement in the Pacific next April, which would mean diving in tropical water. I'd likely get a 3mm suit before I headed over there, as I do like to dive in a full suit even in warm water (I just feel more comfortable and I've never been too hot).

Any…

Hi!
Can anyone give me any information about diving off the coast of vancouver in canada? I'd love to go for a few dives there but am having trouble finding out about good sites or centers to go with,
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

The diving in Sao Tome and Principe is about a 4 on a scale of 10. Nonetheless, if you are a keen diver and happen to be in this part of the world, it is worth your while. There is one excellent operation on both islands:

Sao Tome:

He is a friendly, experienced French dive master with a good boat, new rental gear (everything you need), reasonable prices for such a remote location and an infectious smile. A treasure trove of information…
