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.

Sounds like a signal conflict with the two transmitters using the same channel.

I take it you've not done a SB trip before. Whilst I agree the 'resort' was not as expected, it wasn't a total disaster. We got the 16 dives, the locations being dictated by the weather; with a hurricane just over the Central American mainland < 700ml away. I went to the UAE and Oman diving...

Monday midday and I’m finally home - just got to weather the 7 hour jet lag. Forgetting the resort, I’ll remember the people I was with, that’s what makes the SB experience. Unlikely to make the ‘surge’, but looking to bring another diver next June. A big thank you to Dennis & Roxanne from...

Last day, the ‘time tunnel’

Being a bit selfish, I can hire, likely not, a reg, but I’d have to buy another transmitter.

My small contribution.
