    Complicated Red Sea Question

    I have found that Dahab works well with a non diving spouse. Local excursions into the desert and St Catherines Monastery, or day trips to Cairo and the Pyramids or to Petra in Jordan. You can also do the dive trip to Thistlegorm. John

    Flooding your mask with Contacts??

    New and "Terrified"

    AggieManda Lots of good advice here. To me the most important thing to take from it all is the need to completely master the skills before moving on, so that you are comfortable and confident with them. With regard to completing the Open Water dives before going to Costa Rica, this may not...

    Air Consumption

    All very interesting for a new diver who has always been the first person to notify the Divemaster leading the group that he is down to 100 bar - thank you. But in practical terms how do you actually measure your SAC rate
