My first dive here in Oman, boat re-boarding was interesting as the wind had picked up whilst we were down. The skipper kept the engines in reverse to hold station. Should have got us to swim out away from the cliff. Pity we’re not meeting up on Koh Lipe.

Mine cost £9.36 per fill last year. Slightly more than the nearest fill station, but I didn't have the 50 mile round trip to make. The total cost per dive was arount £30 including depreciation; it would have been lower, but I opted to do one dive on many occations rather than 2.
