Mermaid's is also an Instructor Development Center. Send them mail to ask about their Instructor Development Courses, or to get their newsletter e-mailed to you. |

Siam Dive n' Sail. The best website on Andaman diving, and the people who arrange all my live-aboard trips to the Andaman Sea. These guys are GOOD! |
|

My favorite list. A truly international community of (mostly) friendly divers, sharing tips & tricks, jokes (mostly insider ones), travel reports and knowledge (or lack of same) on all topics related to Scuba diving. Most of the members are former members of SCUBA-L who left after the administrator of that list got too big for his boots. TO JOIN THE LIST: Write to listserv@raven.utc.edu and, in the text of your message (not the subject line), write: SUBSCRIBE SCUBA-L yourname (where "yourname" should obviously be replaced with your actual name). TO LEAVE THE LIST: Write to listserv@raven.utc.edu and, in the text of your message (not the subject line), write: SIGNOFF SCUBA-SE |

Not for the faint-of-heart. Enter TD, and you are instantly knee-deep in BS, chest-beating and personal vendettas. However, though the signal-to-noise ratio is VERY low, occasionally some useful information filters through, and when it does, it is VERY useful. One thing is for sure, this list is never boring!

Exceptionally knowledgeable about all things Scuba and quite a few thing that are not, Randy is a stickler for detail and does not suffer fools gladly. Listen to him, or challenge him at your peril... | |
|
Another frequent poster to SCUBA-L. Check the Mad Monk's pictures and trip reports. Awesome lobsters! | |
