My dive school was at Wraysbury this weekend as well and they reported the worst visability the DM's have seen in quite a while. It's the curse it has with it being the only readily accessible dive site to London sadly so some weekends it's quite horrific. It's a shame as my first dive after...

I'll ask Clive at Dive Aruba next week and let you know when I'm back...

Brilliant, thanks Bill that's exactly the info I was after! You're right about the Thermoclines being a 2.5mm equivalent, I've got both the vest and full sleeves, so will start with just the vest with normal swimmers & take it from there. With your tipping rule of thumb I think I'm all set -...

I'll be diving with Clive from the 23rd, second time in Aruba, first time certified. It was last years Snuba over the Antilla last year that finally convinced me to get certified and come back to do it properly. But I've got a couple of questions.... What exposure kit did you folks use out...

I've had a Mares Hybrid since October and had zero issues with it. Exceptionally comfortable, never had any issues with the weight pockets and that includes having to weight more than normal when breaking in a new wetsuit. Pockets are big enough and definitely not too big. Excellent construction...

Brilliant timing Byte Me, I've just booked to go to Aruba for the second time in June this year and was wondering what outfit to dive with. Clive & Dive Aruba were on the top of that list, but it's always nice to have a SB member back up what I've read out there on the interwebs. I'm afraid I...

Returned from Iceland just over a week ago, and the Silfra dive was brilliant! Great bunch at DIVE.IS too. I did my drysuit speciality at the same time, so my first time in a drysuit (compressed neoprene, undersuit & wicking thermals) and I have to say I was toasty warm on both dives despite...

I've not had the opportunity to properly test the Contour wet, but I've mounted the camera in it's housing on my mask, and it feels both comfortable and secure. There's a 3mm neoprene square to the rear of the goggle mount which aids stability and obviously cushions the unit against the side of...

Sadly that will have to wait until next time (as there definitely will be a next time) as it's only a 3 night break, and only two full days. Full day one is the Silfra dive, the second I'll be taking a 4x4 down along the south coast to get some more photography done. But it's on the list for the...

I know what you mean about photographs! I took a massive amount, but then I was there to try and break myself into the world of DSLRs. I'll see what I can do about the pepperoni boat! :D

I've literally just bought a Contour GPS (being delivered today) along with the underwater housing. I'm planning on using the goggle mount on my mask (fingers crossed there is minimal movement with the stock mount, if not I'll modify) so when all the pieces of the kit have arrived I'll let you...

I think I'll try to avoid the 140ft just for the time being, I'm still extremely wet behind the ears! It's actually my third trip to Iceland as I fell in love with the country on my first trip there in 2006. I've doen all but the north of the country and it'll be my third visit to...

I've just booked a dive at Silfra in November with dive.is and couldn't be more excited about it. Like ogtool I'm new to diving and unless I need a drysuit for some dives in October, it'll be my first drysuit dive as well, and I've included getting the PADI Drysuit qualification in the dive...
