Hi, Anybody got any experience dealing with the Splash diving center in Ehlange sur Mess in Luxembourg? I'm looking for feedback before giving them all my equipment for its "annual" maintenance/check that it hasn't had for the last few years that I haven't been diving. At a fist visit they...

.....we are kept somewhere in electronic limbo for a few years. After a few years away from Scubaboard, and diving in general I am slowly getting back into things. So "Hello once again from sunny France" Are any of the old gang from 2001-4 still here?

I've used my APEKS TX40s T20 and DST first stages for some years. I used to service them every year, but, as I haven't been diving recently it has been some time since I last serviced them. Whilst I can get the parts to service them (and I have an interstage pressure guage) I would like to...

Just a quick note to say that after almost two years gap I am back....... Any of the old gang around? I've moved away from Lyon, to the north of France, and have found a diving club that are actually human (for those of you that remember the problems I had with the French Diving Federation)...

OK Guys, Here's the deal.... I'm not getting too much diving in at the moment due to one thing or another (work mainly), and for reasonable lengths of time my gear is sitting there doing nothing... so... I thought I would make some propper way of storing it. The initial idea is a work bench...

Having been around here for a couple of months, I have started to notice that there are a lot of newly qualified divers and some not so newly qualified divers bursting with questions, a lot of which, the answers I consider should have been in a suitable 'entry level' qualification. I have a...

Who read their Latest UJ? In the DM and assisting section, there was the usual accident senario. Briefly, a newly qualified diver went into shop asked about dives, saying she was a beginner, and was booked on a boat. When she get there found it was a 26m dive. In water at depth had problem...

OK People, This W/end my partner DM'd for an open water class. She noticed that the students on dive one didn't do propper buddy checks. She went through how we had been taught to buddy check after they had made a hash of it, but at the end of the day was pulled over by the instructor and...
