    DIN 300 or International A Clamp?

    Hi everyone - wow thanks, such great advice! I am totally a vacation diver and having done a google image search i see that yoke is the type I am most familiar with so perhaps I will opt for that one as I do think it will be the most popular fitting for most dive centre rental bottles. Having...

    DIN 300 or International A Clamp?

    Just buying my first regs - going with Apex XTX50 plus XTX40 for the octo and the Apex contents gauge in bright pink (alright!!). I had originally thought that it was "best" to go for the DIN 300 version (I thought I had read that this could be "adapted" to the A Clamp if necessary fairly...

    Single lens or high volume mask?

    Hi! I need to get hold of an old fashioned single lens mask or a high volume mask for my boyfriend - whenever he dives all of the "normal" masks he has ever tried (lots, believe me!) put pressure on the bridge of his nose - the only time he has found a mask that fits was when he first learnt on...

    Any experiences of Aqualung Pro or Scubapro T-one BCDs?

    Hi - I tried both these BCD's on in a shop today and I think either one of them could be a good choice for my first BCD purchase. I am looking for a jacket style and a really basic BCD which is going to be reliable and not too "fussy" :-) Does anybody have any experiences ofeither of the BCDs in...

    Help with picking a new dive computer!

    Hi jar546, actually I have to say that I find the beep on the D6 okay - to the extent that I distinctly remember another diver frowning at me in confusion when the thing did an automatic beep to let me know 30 minutes was up :-)

    Non-baited shark dive in Durban?

    Would really love to do some shark diving when I am in Durban in May. However I am not too keen on the concept of feeding or baiting and would like to go with a dive centre who does not practice these things. Can anyone recommend anywhere? Cheers, Caz

    Shark diving without feeding

    Hi, Going to Nassau end of April purely for diving with sharks. However, I'm very keen to see sharks in their natural environment and not to engage in shark feeding - if I wanted to see that I'd just go to the local aquarium! Can anyone reccomend a good dive centre that doesn't do shark feeds...

    My first BCD!

    So I got a new BCD which went on to sit in the cupboard for a fair few months before I got the chance to use it. It's the Tigullio B52 Hover. Sadly, I used it last week and the dive sucked! I kept floating to the surface and couldn't get the air out cos my feet were waaaay above my head. Also...
