Most of the Charters along the South coast are just 'taxis' to get you to/from the dive site. They take no responsibility for your dive plan or execution. To be honest that applies throughout the UK. I'm based West Coast of Scotland where most diving is done by the local clubs, and English...

I used a buddy Seaking BC for years with a ScubaPro inflator. Those AutoAir units will leak if they see one gran of sand, the ScubaPro inflator survived 3 months expedition diving without seeing fresh water. Those with AutoAirs all failed within a week.

Which part of the U.K. are you staying.

That’s going to have repercussions round the world.

Why do you want that information?

They don't use that type of boat in Koh Lipe; Koh Lipe Diving do.

Hi, I fly into Bangkok rather than Phuket. Get the early flight to Hat Yai than transit minibus to Pak Bara Pier for the high speed ferry to Ko Lipe, arriving around 14:00. I’ve always bought a combined ticket from Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport (MK) direct to Koh Lipe. There is a free transit...

It’s all to do with boyle's law which should have been covered during your basic training.

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.

It’s on a Grog BCD.

Mines on a 15’ hose threaded through the two right hand D-rings to stop it floating round.

You’ll soon realise that @tursiops has a narrow frame of reference, and must always be right.

DAN is not the ‘be all’. The OP explained why they made the suggestion. We BSAC provide substantial 3rd Party Liability insurance, for c£75/year, that includes member to member cover.

This type of behaviour is unacceptable within diving, in fact any industry. I’ve authorised the ending of BSAC memberships for these types of assaults.
