Like all electronics they’re either on or off, there is no in between. Similarly, my Suunto transmitter was good one day the next it didn’t switch on. But then I had exceeded the recommended dives by 50 and the replacement time by a year.

That’s the clincher, what’s a great dive for me might be a rubbish dive for others.

Yes, they do breed. I’ve now got 2 x 12Lt 300bar, 3 x 12.2Lt 232bar and 2 x 10Lt 232bar, plus a 3Lt 232bar pony. Give options for different dive types.

My Suunto from 2019 has BT built in.

Welcome to the diving world where you can never have enough bits and bobs.

And then they’d most likely need a work permit, or get taken advantage of if working illegally on a tourist visa.

That’s such at open ended question. Is the new kit for your personal diving or teaching students. Are you teaching as part of a shop or doing your own thing (remember in the U.K. you have to follow the Diving at work Regulations, which means you can’t teach open water on your own).

The only way you're going to get a fully inflated DSMB it to secure it to the bottom, inflate then let it go. When I let mine go from 6m I'll normally complete the fil at the surface, if I need to.

I made the mistake of using RR earlier this year, only picked them as I last dived with Ocean Divers who they bought.

Never used the train, but the Lomprayah VIP bus/ferry, 21:00 from BK gets into KT around 10:00. You need THB20 cash on arrival to pay the port fee. Check if your hotel is sending a driver to meet at the ferry.

Last time there I called in. The new owner gave me the grand marketing spiel, but what I saw didn’t live up to the hype. I said thanks, but went diving with DJL.

The last two times I was in KT I used DJL they also have an operation in KL.

I’ve only done KL during the dry season, but some operators stay open year round. Contact a few and see what they offer. As @Centrals says Master Divers is now under new management and from their FB posts are just another training factory. I was going to give Hydronauts, a RAID operator, a try...

Check out Koh Lipe. I normally fly/van/ferry from BK, same timeframe as getting to Koh Tao.

First a Diving Officer (DO) is not God. The DO in a club is the NDO’s representative and their authority cascades down. The DO is responsible for the safety of diving and training within the club. They are not responsible for ‘private’ diving outside the club. See Diving Officer (DO) and diving...

Have a look at this page on the BSAC website, Branch Officer guidance. If you state spacific questions I'll answer as best I can. I used to author the Branch officers' Handbook which had a whole section for Diving Officers. And I'm the DO of Fyne-divers. Remember as the DO your a facilitator...

Having planned your dive, how close to the gas calculations did the real dive end up?

Have you tried SubSurface.

This is an open forum is for questions, queries etc specifically about BSAC (the British Sub-Aqua Club).

We now have a dedicated agency forum for BSAC. Like other agency forums threads should be specific to BSAC. Kind regards Edward
