Hi Anybody dived Loch Ness. Work has sent me to Caithness and I thought, while I am in the area, why not dive in possibly the most famous body of fresh water in the world. Anybody dived Loch Ness? Anybody in the area who fancies giving it a go? Rupert

Hi everybody, Does anyone remember their first proper cave? Went into my first cave yesterday and I can honestly say that it was one of, if not the most, remarkable moments in my, admitadly short, diving career. The whole experience was so strange that I feel I should share it and I hope...

Hi, I hope that this won't turn into a "My agency is better than yours" thread, but.... I've done my recreational diver training (OW, AOW, Nitrox, Rescue, etc.) with PADI and I am now looking to move on to technical training. As PADI doesn't really do tech I need to find a new agency...

Hi, I recently bought a SeaQuest Pro QD BCD and I noticed that the back plate has two sets of holes moulded in at what appear to be 11" centres. The LDS (from whom I bought the BCD) tells me that they are for mounting doubles to. I have sent a few e-mails to Aqualung and they haven't...
