Are there any diving places in Nepal?

by Swotah on March 27, 2023

Nepal is a landlocked country and does not have any coastal areas for diving. However, there are some places in Nepal where you can go for freshwater diving or snorkeling.

One of the popular destinations for freshwater diving is the Pokhara region, which is located in the central part of Nepal. There are several lakes in the region, including Phewa Lake, Begnas Lake, and Rupa Lake, which offer opportunities for diving and snorkeling. The lakes are home to a variety of freshwater fish and other aquatic creatures, and you can explore their underwater world with the help of local diving operators. ...

Took my PADI OW Diver final exam yesterday

by Shannon Alexander on August 27, 2015

Got a 96! Woot! So eager for pool sessions next week! So wanting to buy the rest of my kit too, equipment awkwardness and discomfort are the things that I tend to remember when I think about the down sides of diving. I've got at least 15 dives under my belt from prior resort courses and/or my first certification 23 years ago so I'm not a total newbie. I would rather do my pool work and my OW checkout dives with my own gear so I can get my buoyancy and trim down to a science from the get go. I can afford to go mid range on pricing. I already have snorkel gear, booties, a skin and a wet suit. Now just need to get my husband on board with the plan.

Free Marine Science and Conservation course

by Ksso on January 23, 2014

Coursera has made a name of itself as a prime source for online courses - mostly in the technical field. But this time is the scuba diver's passion which is being taught by David Johnston from Duke university.The course's outline, name's Megafauna, seems amazing and would be an awesome crash course for anyone willing to get more involved in Diveboard's citizen science projects.

This course is about sea turtles, whales, dolphins, seals, penguins, sharks, giant squid and other large ocean creatures - collectively known as marine megafauna - and what they can tell us about how the ocean works and why it is so important for all life on earth. This course will help you learn about life in the...

Becoming a PADI Instructor: Update

by Phil on November 12, 2013

So, as a lot of you can tell my posts kind of died out and there is a reason for that. I found that logging the process wasn't helping me retain the information as well as I had hoped. So I decided to abandon it in search of a better way to study that would allow me to retain the information better.

I've had good success with going through the PADI workbook as well as using the idc-guide website to review the information. I've also been using the information when giving my speeches helping out at the dive shop for OW and AOW courses. Rainbow Reef also provides a great resource that is an online quiz/testing system that formats questions in the format that PADI will during the IDC covering...

PADI:OW - Final Exam Pass!

by Paul Smart on August 29, 2013

Last night was my final theory session and exam!

Theory session was just fine. Not problems at all very straight forward!

I took the 50 question exam and whistled through it. All my hard studying paid off and I passed with 100% - Very Pleased!

Now it's just the Open Water dives that are booked for the 7th and 8th of September!

How exciting! Cliff then wants to get me in the water as soon as possible and I can't wait for that either!

PADI:OW - Another day another theory session!

by Paul Smart on August 21, 2013

So tonight our topic covered Decompression Illness, Dive Planning using Dive Tables, Other kit. Stuff like that!

Was pretty straight forward once again and using the Dive Planner (eRDPml) is a doddle!

Passed the Module exam with 100% (that 100% across the board).

I forgot to ask about altitudes, but I will try and remember next time!

On other news, my friend Cliff who pushed me... or nagged me... into sorting my PADI:OW is looking to get me in the water as soon as I have qualified. Well, he'd be happy to get me in before I've qualified but I think he is going to have to wait. ...

PADI: Confined Dive 2 Complete - Skills 3 & 4

by Paul Smart on August 16, 2013

Great night last night with Instructor Chris and the rest of the group.

We completed a remaining skill in set 3, all of skill set 4 and we are now ready for Skill Set 5 and then the open water dives.

I wore my Two Bare Feet, Shorty last night. I also discovered there is an easy way to do the zip up without asking for someones help. Grab the suit at the bottom of the zip with one hand while you pull the zip up via the line, with the other. Sounds silly I know, but having never had a wet suit and already broken a cheap TWF suit because I was trying to do it up solo... Well you get the point! ...
