I've recently purchased a set of regulators from Chris Richardsons *new* company Deep 6. I also chose to dive with a long hose configuration for recreational diving too. The choice of the regs had nothing to do with them coming in 'Kick-Ass Orange', but I am super impressed with them for their...

We're fortunate to live and work in the Caribbean and be involved in scuba diving. We know that for many people this could constitute the dream job! However, we're a little bit quieter than we would normally expect to be (something to do with a little virus thingy that's going around just now)...

... to a KISS Rebreathers converted mCCR. I loved the idea behind the original Hollis Explorer eSCR. It was intended as a hybrid recreational rebreather which could straddle the divide between recreational simplicity and (almost) bubble free diving. It was a shame the product was abandoned...

About 10 years ago, the diving world was abuzz with the concept of Sidemount Diving for recreational divers. PADI and other training agencies launched their specialty training programs and the equipment manufacturers quickly got on board too. Today we ask the question: Recreational Sidemount, Is...

New and inexperienced divers often ask the question 'Which is the best dive computer' or more importantly 'Which one should I get?', and that's understandable as there is a massive amount of choice and a very big difference in price too. Here, Jon and Andre have a discussion about the primary...

I've created a new Youtube channel to give me something to do during the Covid-19 lockdown, and we're having fun doing it. One of our new subscribers spotted that I was sporting a Descent Mk1 and asked me to comment on it.... About two years ago I wanted to upgrade my trusty old friend, my...
