I am Nitrox Certified!
I finished — and passed — 23/25 correct answers! I’m now certified for Enriched Air diving, which means longer bottom time before decompression kicks in. Great for wreck diving and long live aboard dive trips!

TORQUE TQ800 Trinity: Triple SIM, WiFi, Mobile TV (below PHP 8,000.00)
PRICE UPDATE: Below PHP 8,000.00 This landed on my desk tonight. It is called the TORQUE TQ800 Trinity. Say bye bye to dual SIM: this one has slots for three SIM cards. They call it “triple SIM, triple standby” which simply means that while one of the SIM cards is in use, the other two…
