Don't be such an arsehole.

I have never dived with NITROX and I wouldn't touch it without the right training.

I know what I can do, and I know what I can't.

Plus, I am in the best country for diving. Whitsundays here I come.

Why boast about it and give dangerous advice on the Internet then...? :?

Good for you!

No doubt you will go back and edit all of your inaccurate posts about Nitorx then...?

Because otherwise you'd be an arsehole right...? :lol:

How will I be able to do that.

No, I am happy with my posts. I am not worried at all.

I admitted I was wrong about Nitrox. I really got no issue with that at all.

What I got an issue with is you not admitting you are wrong about CM.

What I got an issue with is you not admitting you are wrong about CM. If I ever get transported to your bizarre fantasy world where black is white, white is black and the media don't use press releases I'll certainly do that. But it ain't gonna happen anytime soon! :lol:

Back on the topic ... :roll:

I noticed that a lot of things don't ship to Cyprus from Amazon anymore, but I don't think it is everything with a battery. Recently I got a smartwatch without any problems. Actually it was dead on arrival, so I had to ship it back and they mailed me another... but shipping it was not an issue. And not all electronics have batteries so there is still a lot of things you can order from them.

On Monday I am planning to order a VR headset with battery. I added it to my shopping cart and I proceeded with the ordering process until the last page and it seems that they can ship it.

It looks to me it's about a specific type of battery, the rechargeable Li-ion or Lithium Polymer (Lipo)
The non rechargeable Lithium are totally different chemistry, and hence of no risk.
While these batteries ARE imo the future because they keep their charge for years, they do have some risk.

I was buying Lipo from HobbyKing, it's one year now he stopped shipping to any country
Other factors may relate to specific countries that don't have enough orders per month to enable the companies get cheap rates.
PixMania (based in France) was once great, but he stopped supplying to most countries.

Which watch did you buy...?

I got an Amazfit Stratos about a month ago and think it is wonderful!

The problem with Amazon is they will sometimes accept the order but then just not ship it... Eventually they cancel the order.

This happened a few weeks ago with a set of Bluetooth earphones - I eventually cancelled the order and purchased from an ebay seller instead...

I don't know what battery the smartwatch has inside, but it is definitely rechargeable.

I had ordered many things from PixMania, I was sad when they stopped shipping to Cyprus :(
