I'm in the Isle of Scilly, UK and I normally solo dive with a drysuit and a BCD. Solo I never go below 10m. It's just my personal self imposed limit. Anyway, my BCD has developed a leak and I wont use it until repairs or replaced. In the mean time, would anyone here with more experience than me...

Hi all... I have noticed that my BCD wasn't holding air. I then found some tiny chafe holes where there is some webbing that is stitched in place to hold the waist band on. I have no idea how this happened to be fair. What are the recommendations for repair? See pics please.

Hello. Does anyone have a recommendation for a person to do BCD repairs in the UK? I have an old but very good and well cared for BCD. Its always been fine but recently didn't hold its air. I noticed that some chafe where the wait band is held in by some strong webbing had caused some tiny...

I have been diving for some time and hold my Padi Rescue Diver qualification. I scrub the hull of my boat with with full diving gear normally but its a faff as I get my BCD wet with salt water and I then have to do a full rinse job afterwards. I recently bought a tank harness / frame with...

Does anyone know if you can dive the sculptures at the Museo Atlantico in southern Lanzarote without a guide?

ok so it isn't a classified so unsure where to post this so posting it here. I lost a fin diving the other day. Has anyone got a medium sizes open heel fin they want to sell? Maybe you also lost a fin and bought some new ones and now left with with one like me! Thanks!

If our basic safety stops are say between 4-6m then does that mean anywhere from 1-6mm there is a net loss of nitrogen? I'm asking relation to "don't dive when pregnant rule". I know that is a debatable subject and many people do but the scientific reason is that nitrogen in the blood has...

We've been told the Cíes Islands off Galicia are meant to be good for diving. We're in a boat traveling down the coast and have diving gear so does anyone know anything of the diving here and the sites?

We're in Gutemala at the moment and intended to overland to San Pedro Sula and then fly to one of the Bay Islands so dive. However getting to SPS at the moment is tricky with the unrest and road blocks. I have a few q's: 1. How might we get there? 2. Of the two islands is one better than the...

I perforated my eardrum around 3 weeks ago diving. It was a small perforation and it healed closed in approx 2 weeks when the tinittus stopped and I can now equalise. So it has healed but maybe still weak. How long would someone wait until they can dive again? Obviously this is subjective but...

I was given a nice Xcel hood for my birthday and it goes right down inside my drysuit. I have not used a hood with a drysuit before so unsure of the fitting. When I put the hood on it is fairly loose around the neck so when I put the drysuit over the top and fold the neoprene neck seal in, then...

I have just got a new drysuit and the neck is neoprene. It is smooth on the inside and normal neoprene material on the outside. I was told by the manufacturer I need to fold it over inside to be effective but that means the rough neoprene surface is on the inside. I have tried both methods...
