Steve Kramer, as well as others that may know

Please, if you'd be so kind . . . give me the names and addresses (if you
have them) of a couple of the better dive shops in Singapore? (for gear)

Thanks.

Not a problem now as we always wear skins.

That can be a problem, I suppose. Or half a problem. Most of the younger
SE Asian women seem too thin to give birth to a piece of bailing wire.
However, this shop carries all the international brands. Just don't
purchase any wetsuits made in Thailand and you should be all right.

Second floor of "Orchard Point Plaza," right side rear next to the
skyway across to 'Orchard Plaza.' This shop carries cut gem stones, both
precious and semi-precious, as well as carved stone. Lots of malachite
the last time I was in there. His Lapis is to die for, and I was almost
executed after purchasing more than I was supposed to. Mostly Oriental
motifs but also utilitarian such as cups, jars, etc.

I always wear a wetsuit, but still get stung on the face, ears and the backs
of my hands. I'm hoping the SeaSafe will improve that situation.

Triple threat.

And thanks again.

Wonder if they have any peanuts. ;^)
