    Any recommendations for dive shops near Paphos to take us to Zenobia?

    Looking back at this old post and diving since, I still have fond memories of the Zenobia but.... SCAPA, Coron and the Red Sea (Thistlegorm/Giannis D/Rosalie Moller/Salem Express) eclipse it easily... but then you can't take family with you!

    Scapa Flow Diving.

    Many levels of divers do Scapa, yes there are plenty of rb/tech divers but there are plenty doing no-deco with single tank and pony. Yes you need need to be at least experienced in cold water/~35 range and have a dry suit/Nitrox to truly enjoy it. I've been once and the JohnL had a nice cosy...

    Any recommendations for dive shops near Paphos to take us to Zenobia?

    Ah... should read the post more closely! I did a couple of shore dives north of Paphos with Diving Shop in Cyprus, PADI 5* Diving Center, Best Diving in Cyprus, shore dives were fairly boring...

    Moving to Europe.....tanks?

    "many dive sites use self-serve coin operated fill stations" , not in the UK. Stamps are checked 90% of the time. You're chancing it with out of date cylinders etc..

    Start with 7mm or just get drysuit

    I dove for the first 4 years of my career in 6.5mm semi-dry, UK all year, Ice and all… With a good pair of gloves/hood it’s bearable. I choose this route because: I was skint, had to buy the rest of the kit and didn’t want to waste money on a leaky second-hand one (a lot around). If you have...

    What's your favorite set of doubles?

    My favourite twins are Euro 8.5Ltr round bottomed, coupled with a Halycon evolve 40 were a joy to trim/dive, only issue, it never had enough gas for a two dive boat trip. Upgraded to the twin Euro 12ltr concave cylinders, loads of air but nearly crippled me coming up a ladder... so split and...

    New dromedary bladder

    I made this for work in the pool, with a single 7ltr steel, side mounted, see below: I cut the hole for the OPV valve with a pair of scissors and the hole for the inflator hose with a Stanley knife. Parts were spares I had around, I think they are x-deep bits but that shouldn't matter...

    Overweight diver equipment

    if your just going to dive on hols, then agree, go to a wetsuit...get at least a 3mm so you can layer over it with a shorty and do some uk diving or colder Red Sea stuff. I'm sure othree can do something....even for wetsuits..

    Semi-dry ... purpose?

    Or how subtlety can you flush your suit on a dive? Grabbing the neck seal is dead giveaway...

    Overweight diver equipment

    Ask on UKDivers forum... or ring Othree in Weymouth, or Aquanauts in Plymouth are pretty friendly.. My gut feel is that you forget the wetsuit and go straight to a drysuit if you can afford it,if want to dive in the UK. The training is really a doddle...find a club and they will help you, no...
