    Doc Deep dies during dive.

    While Ahmed may or may not attempt to break his own record. The same team in Dahab are attempting to break the female depth record in September 2016 Calendar - Diver Jenny Lord

    Night Dives in PADI's Advanced Openwater Course

    As a wizened elder instructor once told me. "Night is the time for beer and pizza, not diving"

    Doc Deep dies during dive.

    For all the talk of record breaking,had this dive been ratified by Guinness? There was brief mention in the article about "that would be enough to satisfy Guinness" but were they even aware of the attempt? Sounds like, that even had he made it back, he would be listed with the ranks of Bernabe...

    The pursuit of Records in Diving (depth, etc)

    I personally don't agree with depth records, that said I don't wish to see those concerned perish in their attempt. However, is this trully about man(kind)'s endurance or rather, hubris? Agreed

    backzip drysuits in GUE

    I used a back zip and it was no issue during Fundies. It's been more of an issue since though. During Winter I'll add a fleece and thermals to my 4th Element and then Valve shutdowns become... interesting. If I forget to stretch out on the surface I have literally got no chance of doing a...

    failure rate of Scuba equipment and BCD

    I've had my reg lock up on a dive. But that was due to water in the tank, which eventually blocked the filter. One major computer failure (mine) one battery failure (customer), not the same dive. BCD? Although I changed my Zeagle wing after it started to develop numerous pin-prick leaks it was...

    Diving mozambique

    You'd have to check with your embassy. All I can tell you is I had no trouble entering as a Brit, neither did the Dane I was travelling with.

    The Walking Dead

    My take (and I haven't read the comic - so no spoiler tags for anyone) he wants to release a pathogen to kill the walkers. Not really sure that's a good idea considering what happened last time a pathogen got loose!

    Dahap Blue Hole, the cemetery

    He's probably referring to the stretch of road between the Canyon and the Blue Hole. Although that's not 20 km.... feels like it some days... but most of the way is paved road.

    Diving mozambique

    I've only dived Tofo, so I can only give the heads up for that area. We flew into Jo'burg then travelled by bus through to Maputo. We stayed in a backpackers in maputo, Fatima's, who get a local shuttle to pick you up and take you to Tofo. It was an epic trip and as soon as you leave the...

    Dahap Blue Hole, the cemetery

    There's a few vagaries in the region. I've guided a LoB of Israeli divers in the Southern red sea, if anyone got a bend we weren't allowed to take them to the mainland for treatment, we had to go back to Sharm as it's part of the Sinai agreement (or something) Similarly if you get a bend in...

    Distant Road to Tech - Gear Advice for 2016 Goal

    I'd clear Sidemount off the menu if I were you. Nothing wrong with it, I'd stick with BM for the progression. SM is de rigueur at the moment and while they are great instructors out there, there's also a lot jumping on the band wagon. Oddly a lot of them teach Tec40. This is no a sleight against...
