padi syllabus changed already... nitrox don't need open water dives. just theory + using the analyser + exam. make it easier to rake in the moolah

That i know. However i was talking to dylan/ivan and his 8" dome has a pretty visable scratch and he says it shows up in sunburst shots? :dunno:

if u have a face like mark lee, there is only so much photoshop can do. Prob same scenario here for the scratch on the dome.

Same for IANTD but the instuctor (and i agree) said it makes sense to go for the dives with the gas rather than just having a theory and exam course.

Btw howeikwok.... read from your Blog that you were using Nitrox when waiting for Thresher..... How important is Nitrox ?? Non in my Dive Gang is Nitrox train..... we thought about taking the course in Malapascua.... but the cost is an extra $350 SGD...... something like half of the whole dive trip..... too $$$$ for our buget.

Need an Opinion here..... is using or learning Nitrox really important for Thresher Waiting ??

Thxs for any info :thumbsup:

At Monad Shoal, the cleaning stations are at about 20m. When diving on air, we ended up with total dive time of 55 minutes including safety stop - On Nitrox 36, total time was 75.

Also if you get a chance, go to the ferry wreck (the name escapes me) - It is a great Nitrox dive (bottom at 30m, top of the wreck 20m)
