Not available to join you this year, SHMBO says I’ve had enough dive trip this year.

Before deciding on the Red Sea have a read of the U.K. MAIB Safety Bulletin.

Although it’s a bit more than 6hr, you shouldn’t discount Thailand. I paid £650 to get to Dubai earlier this year, for an extra £200 I could have got to Bangkok. Once in Thailand, internal travel is cheap. Red Sea liveaboards, there have been too meany fires/sinkings for me to even consider a...

If you really want to not let your carryon get weighted, go business or 1st Class.

You could start you own club, here is a guide.

I did experience this, but it turned out to be the gauge needle sticking as when it got to 260 bar it would jump up; I changed the gauge that fixed it.

I’ve got over 140 hours and 400 fills and still getting the same fill times. And pump to 300bar.

Disclosure: I’m the former BSAC Chair. We setup a licensee BSAC Egypt, as a consequence PADI issued a mandate that no PADI operation could jointly sell another agency’s courses. Although initially in Egypt the policy is being zemblanitly enforced in other areas. However, we have shops selling...

No lithium batteries in hold on any airline that I know of.

I’ve flown through Dubai many times with Emirates, I’ve never had my carry on weighed. But then I check my regs in on all trips.

What we don’t know is whether there was a distraction during his pre-dive routine. I’ve entered the water without fins when distracted. Now if distracted I’d like to think I would start the routine over, but we’re all fallible.

Do you know the lift capability of your buoyancy device, mine is 25kg, but some travel ones are as low as 8kg (leave a litre of water in one and you’ve lost a kg.)

Northern Oman, Musandan Discovery Diving, it's there dive season. I was there in February when the wind limited diving. They can organise getting from Dubai airport and return if you want, plus hotel. Flighing into Muscate add 1,000km to the journy.

Where does the incident state he was on the surface when found.

That’s pretty much the old A to G tests BSAC ran until the 1980s.

The operator has to get Annex E completed from Belize’s “STANDARDS (BELIZE STANDARD: CODE OF PRACTICE FOR RECREATIONAL SCUBA DIVING SERVICES) (DECLARATION OF COMPULSORY STANDARD) ORDER, 2016”. So no AOW is not a legal requirement, but it helps.

Where abouts in Scotland are you located. If you need help completing DL, let me know.

There is more difference in recovering a body than a dead-weight twinset. A body is slightly negative, unless the lungs are full of water, twin steel 12s will have a negative mass of about 11kg when full.

Normally in Europe it’s twin steels, chances are [hear I’m speculating] no ditch-able weights, makes it extremely difficult to gain positive buoyancy. Mods, remove if I’m out of order.

Lifesaving skills do not often get mastered on the first attempt. You didn’t fail, you instructor failed to teach you properly. As for equipment, the pool kit is an indication what they would provide for open water lessons.
