Out of interest, if you've got a few cylinders in your truck, what do you do with the spares when you are on a dive? Are they not at risk of being stolen, or do you take them with you on the dive?

The wrecks were awesome. They included a 17th Century wreck, where the ship (if left) is buried under silt, but there are the anchors and cannon left. The Coronation Wreck Project The incident is sunk in was a disaster - many ships sunk in the storm, and only a handful or people survived. It...

Thanks for the advice. Tomorrow's wrecks are likely to be 20-25m; we may go onto 30m wrecks over the rest of the weekend. My car is pretty small, and I'm giving someone else a lift, so taking both is unlikely to be practical. I think going with the old kit is a sensible approach.

I've just bought my first BP&W. I'm off diving tomorrow from a hard boat. I won't have a chance to do a weight check before tomorrow's dives, which are on some rather splendid wrecks. I'm thinking that I should use my traditional BCD for tomorrow, and arrange a quarry trip in the near future to...

I don't think they were diving the Sky. The article no longer mentions it - it talks about the Kyarra and Aparima. I dived the Sky that afternoon (or to be more accurate, the seabed near it). We ended the dive at 4.00, and were last divers up on our rib. So we would have lifted the shot by...

Done!

My house was broken into once while I was in. I slept through the entire episode. The thief got around £50, a leather jacket and a VCR. In retrospect, I'm not unhappy that I stayed asleep. (I have also slept through an earthquake in Japan - it takes a lot to wake me.) Mind you, I live in...

So the conclusion is that OP should buy a breather? :D

I dived Soccorro a couple of years ago. It was truly brilliant diving. I'd love to go again. In 2014, my main ambitions were related: 1) Buy a drysuit, and get the hang of using it. 2) Do plenty of UK dives 1) took a while. I had done around 100 dives in warm water diving and in...

This is slightly off topic, but there's now a new thread for on-topic discussions. Alexander Grothendieck died recently. He completely revolutionised algebraic geometry, making it more fundamental and abstract. However, the number 57 is known as the Grothendieck prime...

Here my preferred way to combine the use of smart phones and diving: I may not be the most innovative person in the world....

My club did a trip earlier this year at Porthkerris, which I can highly recommend. There is a shore dive as well as the boat dives - I only did boat dives. There are wrecks as well reef dives. We only went to 25m, but I think there are deeper dives around. Diving in Cornwall at Porthkerris -...

Thanks! I'll let you know if I make it to Scotland - it's a sitinct possiblity. It's probably not a bad idea for me to redo some basic rescue stuff - my PADI course was 5 years ago, and (thankfully) I've not has to use any of it. It's not skills I've paractised, either - my practices at the end...

Hello I've done all my training with PADI so far, and most of my diving has been in hot places. But I've decided to dive more, so I've joined a BSAC club in London. I have a resuce diver card, but I've decided to do BSAC Sports diver (which is equivalent to rescue diver.) The reason is that...
