    Nonprofit GUE has been working to improve the scuba industry for 20 years

    I do applaud their approach to diving and I have heard great things of the courses, my experience with GUE divers however has put me off. I have met quite a few and every single one has been a miserable snobby piece of garbage. I had one call the shop i was working for and complain that my...

    Bucket list dive spots?

    Well reading this thread was a massive mistake, my dive bucket list just got twice as long. I can definitely vouch for some of the places that have been mentioned. Gods pocket is fantastic you just have to make sure you go in the winter so the viz is half decent. Vanuatu is ridiculous...

    Tech fins?

    Go into a shop that sells them and try them on, any aqualung dealer will usually stock them especially in the UK. But if you need reference I'm a UK size 11 wet suit boot and the large is a perfect fit for me. Anything more than a 10 in a dry suit boot and you'll need the super.

    History of 18m depth limit?

    Fins, Fins and more fins!

    RK3s are fantastic fins, they are a little weightier than the quattros but in my opinion they outperform them especially when it comes to maneuverability and longevity. The colour of the RK3s can only really be appreciated at the surface however (speaking of my orange HDs) the colour is washed...
