Just tried searching through www.google.co.uk and every single site returned in the SERPS index’s says This site may harm your computer. I was howling with laughter at first because i first noticed it on a site result that deserves this warning (then i noticed mine..hahahaha).. Oh well maybe it will be sorted out soon.

Often a question from newcomers to Scuba diving, we at Subaquamundo hear it quite often, the first thing the new diver needs to realise is are they going to get the use from it that makes the initial investment worthwhile?. Reasons for not having a Dive Computer. Only diving on holiday will probably restrict a newly certified diver to 5 or 6 dives per year is a 600euro investment worth it?. Our suggestion would be no its not. We would suggest that in the case of a “holiday diver” probably the best bet would be to just buy a normal dive watch, something like a Luminox at less than half the price of a dive computer (and the plus point... read more >>

… but not a drop to drink! Be warned.. even though us aquanauts are surrounded by water it does not change the fact that we need to drink before, in between and after our dives.

Equipment considerations. When you begin your life as a Scuba diver you will soon become aware that your new found past-time is dependent on technical pieces of equipment and developments in science and human physiology which go hand in hand to ensure the safety of you and your dive buddy and also and your enjoyment of the underwater world. The first thing that you will be thinking is breathing, this is done by the use of compressed air in either steel or aluminium tanks (often called cylinders or bottles), these in turn are attached to regulators which deliver the air to your mouth (no breathing through the nose so this can be a pretty wierd... read more >>

If you are over here on holiday with the family then there is a strong possibility that getting in as many as 12-15 dives in a week is not going to go down too well with the spouse and the kids etc… listed here are a few other things for the non divers to do or maybe yourself if you fancy a bit of a surface interval. One thing we would recommend if only for the view is to take a trip up to the Castillitos battery high on the cliffs between La Azohia and Cabo Tinoso, here are two huge 38.1 Vickers guns with a range of 20 miles and also several smaller guns which point out towards Cartagena built in the early part of the 20th century as part... read more >>

night diving in mazarronNight diving in Mazarron is ideal, three sites come to mind straight away, Isla de paco, Cala de faro and El bajo, isla de paco will take you to a maximum depth of 12 metres and theres lots to see here.
