great!... looking forward to that review... ive been diving anilao and sabang for quite sometime now... visited sabang early this year... sabang was a lot more beautiful several years back... the typhoon that hit the area last year wrecked most of the corals there... i suggest that while in sabang to check out verde island

I like the Uwatec Aladin Z (if you dive nitrox). Simple reason is
it uses numbers on it's display. Not the bars, but real numbers.
So when you come close to deco, you know because it displays
# of minutes before going into deco. Not some form of a colored
bar that when it reaches somewhere in the fifth bar, then begin considering
ascending. 3 minutes on the display before deco is well pretty precise.
3 minutes.. Numbers, real numbers and some graphics, like lungs, when
breathing to heavily or arrows point upward and %ages as in O2
load (if Nitrox). They even have an air integrated. Uses a transmitter
fitted on your first stage to transmit tank pressure. Keeping track of
air remaining and time (based on current pressure, depth and rate of
usage - always realculating) Nice. Also most provide a means to transfer
data from the dive computer to a personal computer.. graphs, customize
dive info, like who, when, where, why, etc.. some versions even calculate
your air consumption rate (avg of course of dive - like 0.8l/min).. nice...

Hope this helped...

Cheers

What type of Sharks do they have at Tubbataha Reef?....The reason I am interested in Malapascua are the Threashers....looking to go in Sept or early Oct of 08.

Guaranteed to see white tips, gray reefs , black tips sometimes whale sharks.
Tubbataha is our version of Palau but with the corals.
