    Practical Shotgun, Clays and in the past galley shooting. Got a nice shotgun at the moment. In the UK it's fairly easy to own a shotgun, but very difficult to own anything like a .22 calibre weapon: YouTube - Benelli Shotgun Clay Shooting

    What Burglars Won't Tell You . . .

    Well said Paladin! You'd be a cool diver to dive with man! :) Your family is one of the most armed up I've heard of!

    Military DPVs

    Has anyone managed to get hold of some surplus military DPVs? In the UK the tech for powerful and long-lasting DPV tech is almost always in the hands of the Navy and sold off when it gets to it's sell-by date. Some more about military DPVs from Squid: Strong currents and the need for urgency...

    Rent or Buy

    Never rent, always buy where possible. Fitting into rental gear is one more task than you ought to have to do. It also makes it easier for the poor DM or instructor whose job it is to size you up ;)

    Mark of the Tech Diver!
