I have a robinhood watersports 100g thinsulate. Seems great for me and works well even when wet. I also have a set of thermal undies that i wear when it gets realy cold but last dive at the start of this year at capers was at 6 degrees and I was still toasty warm. Shame i didnt have decent...

Hi Zak I have a question. I am trying to set up the declination setting for the compass on my Icon HD. I have the setting I need to put in which is an minuet and second setting plus the direction (east or west). When I go to the setting page the setting only gives me from 0-90 rather...

Not yet Sylpha but it is certainly somthing to look at, tempted to drive and take a ferry. The piccies were taken at Capernwray quarry. Not done any dives off our coast yet but plan to do somthing after we get back from Egypt in October.

Hi Sassy and welcome. You are not too far away from me so if you find some decent dives places to go to please share. Best of luck with the AOW

Im gonna be in the safaga reigon at the beginning of october and only intend to wear a shorty. Bless diving in the UK as anything above 10 degrees is like a warm bath to us lol

Sorry first try not so good. Lets see if these are any better :D

Hi All Thought I would try and share a couple of piccies I took from my last trip to capers. Was trying out my shiny new Cannon G11 so let me know what you think. First time trying to add piccies so I hope it works.

Hi All My wife and I will be diving in Soma Hurgada first week of October. This is our first visit to Egypt and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks in advance BK

Off to Soma bay in Egypt this year for a few dives. Any one reccomend places that I should visit that are fairly easy dives? This will be our first time there so dont want to overdo it first time out. Thanks for the congrats Sylpha. Need to get some dives under me now. (or should that be...

Hi Zak. I have just bought the ICON and am very pleased with it. Just a quick question on the air intergration. Is the option to upgrade just for the price of the transmitter with a new computer time limited. I see the release date has now changed to spring 2011 and I will want to upgrade...

Hi All. Just thought I would share, I passed my AOW a few weeks ago at Capernwray. The new plane is worth a visit although vis was a bit low due to lots of divers there.

Thanks Sylpha. Its getting better. Of for a checkup today hope to get the OK to dive again soon :)

It seems I am out for a while. I've picked up a middle ear infection.

Thanks for the tip Bane. It didnt occur to me that stress may affect the weight we need to carry. Cause for some pool experimentation methinks :)

I was surprised it wasnt as bad as expected. It also helped to keep the fins tight on my left leg as my foot was 1/2 out of the boot. I could still move around ok but a bit stiff. Also I felt quite warm. The water temp was down to 10 degrees C but with a nice thermal undies set, thick...

I must admit I did find it easier with no air in the suit although it was a little squished at 20m. I will keep on trying though and thanks for your comments Harry. I should mention that the suit was 2nd hand although the valves were new. My buddy did mention it might be a good idea to get a...

Hi everyone. Thought I would do a little write up of my very first night dive at stony cove. Met in the car park and buddied up. The plan was to take in a couple of the sights, safety stop and exit. We did a good brief with the instructor pointing out the dangers of diving and light etiquette...

Thanks for all that information Bubble. I apologise for the thread hijack but seemed a good lesson to take away as well as valuble information for a newb. I know there are some tecniques for preserving night vision (closing one eye for example) as well as not looking directly at what you wish...

Thanks for sharing this sambolino. I have my first night dive comming up next week and will make sure that I discuss signals and communcation in the dark with whoever my buddy will be. Do you use your torch or hand signals? Having never done a dive at night it is hard to imagain how much you...
