Post #3 of this thread Should have ended the thread ;)

Kit should last a very long time. However the problem is that people bring in new shiny kit which you must have!

Soiling yourself :confused:

TBH if you're on OC you won't be doing a 2hr dive in Malta. Even if you hit up the Poly or the Southwold, you'll only rack up probably 70-80min max. You can probably hold it for that time or just relieve yourself before hitting the water. No big deal

Doesn't say that. Just says he was descending down the anchor line. Could have been 2nd dive. After a catch drop off etc etc So?

It is tragic, but I used to work for Peter MacDonald. If he knew the divers, then they were probably Cray fishing. ... 2 sec google and Western Australia ?shark attack capital of the world? | The Times Also as Uncle Pete says in your article; on Sharks:

You're doing serious deco in a Drysuit even though you have not done tech in a drysuit? My Advice: Wear a 7mm. P*ss in it

Worth a try then. If you were closer than then Cayman's I would send you mine. (had the ear problem fixed)

I tried it. Sometimes it kept my ears dry, sometimes not. I wouldn't recommend it for casual use, but if you need it several times a week, then it may be a good investment. Short hair will help. I don't have long hair, but enough to cause sealing problems (apparently)

According to all the stats in the world, there has not been enough fatal shark attacks to stop me diving.

Foxfish, just accept it that 99% of this forum don't agree with you.

17 Tiger sharks killed in a few days compared to 5 human fatalities over decades.... hmm seems fair :shakehead:

Try my old shop: Scuba Diving in Malaysia on Tioman Island with B&J Diving Centre in Salang and in ABC - PADI, IANTD and DAN courses, Technical Diving They have locations on 2 of the beaches, ABC and Salang I prefer ABC as it has the pizza shack down the end. I know, but when you work in a...

If fish bothered me, I don't think I would have taken up diving in the first place.

Out of the guys I dive with, I would trust a select few to do it for me. However apart from sudden onset explosive diarrhoea I couldn't think of a reason why I would get them to do it.

Shark shields failed some tests: researchers - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) waundersea.com - View topic - Shark Shield not effective against hungry white tips According to this forum the manufacturer doesn't know if it's effective against all sharks. As I said before...

Then you are not doing wreck penetration. I'd imagine a lot of good reviews are on a manufacturers page ;) From the Page: Shark Shield - Electronic Shark Deterrent - Proven Protection from Sharks I've dived this wreck around 200 times, the only shark on the wreck is a Wobbegong. Firstly...

Which is fine and your choice. I'd wager though you are just swimming into these wrecks and not laying line?

Putting faith in a placebo is also a failure as a diver. Also the antenna is absolutely an entanglement hazard. Your instructor was in the right. You do not enter a wreck with a length of cord trailing from your fin, period! The Sharkshield only has an effective radius of 3-5 metres. Now...

I just like to add there is no such thing as a man-eating shark. Sharks eat fish. Divers, snorkellers, free-divers, taken by sharks are incredibly unlucky, that is all. A shark does not actively seek out human flesh. It hasn't spent 400 million years evolving on the hope that some primate will...
