    Looking to get myself a backpack style duffel bag, current contenders are the Fourth Element Expedition Duffel 120L and the Mares Cruise X strap bag. Anyone got any experience or alternative suggestions? Main requirements is that it has to be pretty large (100L give or take) and able to be...

    Mares Horizon

    I agree on several points you made there, I never seen a CCR for its ROI so I really can’t comment on my opinions of it ever giving me a return. Agree on the point that even the slightest could kill you as well (really just about everything could) but I guess it’s half of the fun. At least for...

    Mares Horizon

    Yes. RB divers should have knowledge about mixed gases but doing a trimix RB dive is considered to be very advanced. There are plenty of posts on SB that talk about the cost per dive and eq purchase, maybe go have a look at that. IMO, going into CCRs and not at least knowing what they are about...

    you know RB diving is for you when all the giant bolded red letters saying that something will kill you on every page doesnt deter you from getting one.

    Inon Z330 strobe light shade

    I really don’t want to force the shade open as I am afraid it would damage the ring or threads. I will give the soap bit a go. Anyhoo, I’ve told this to lads from the shop and they said they might need to have a go at it so fingers crossed the soap thingy works. And yes. The design does need...

    UK diving

    I mainly need cylinders (haven’t decided if I want to go OC or CCR) and a drysuit rental. I’ve read about Farne, gonna do more research. Thanks for the info. I doubt it’ll be 1 or 2 pints haha. Most likely going to be cold. Revisiting my uni. Taking be opportunity to dive in the UK which I...

    UK diving

    hey guys, I’m planning to dive in the UK somewhere next year. Interested in doing some quarry and lake diving. Would be great if I could see some seals along the way. Hopefully by then I would have gotten my drysuit cert done with but if it doesn’t work out, I am more than happy to do it...

    What-cha-ma-call-its

    Well, the saying goes, each to its own. I have tested out knots (both professionally tied and shoddy knots by yours truly) and am still using that method now. I am just trying to find alternatives/improvements. Not saying one is better than the other but aesthetically, i know who gets the cookie.

    What-cha-ma-call-its

    DGX has a very extensive list of products, many of which i'd like to procure, i am extremely jealous of you lot :(. IMO, i find the bungees looking more professional compared to a knotted line. and yes, i know i am about to get lynched.

    What-cha-ma-call-its

    Bought about 10 of those for about 1 US dollar each, hope they last. Thanks! Yep, sorry for the confusion, i wasn't looking for any source in particular, just wanted other names of the bungee clip/retainer/thinga-ma-bob so i could plug it in a search engine to find it locally. I found a mind...

    What-cha-ma-call-its

    Yes, i can understand that this issue can be resolved by just tying it up yourself. My only concern is that i am an idiot and im bound to cock something up :P. Bungees are far faster in my hands. Nevertheless, i'll give it a go.
