    Diving fatality at Osezaki, Japan

    I was recently informed that there was a diving fatality at Osezaki, Izu last Saturday (22nd August). I was diving there that day and dive there often. All I know was that the diver was found floating on the surface, after being told to surface (alone) by the dive leader, as he only had 50 Bar...

    Sea and Sea housing for Canon 5D

    Having both flooded and losing my Motormarine 111 on the same dive yesterday. (yes it was a really rough shore dive) I'm now ready to put my 5D or maybe 20D in a housing.

It used to be left hip, but now that is occupied with a...

    Scubapro S600 buying advice

    I have recently decided to upgrade my MK 11 S295 to a MK25 S600 (with the old S295 bungied round my neck) I nearly bought the new set up a few days ago when I noticed that the mouthpiece connection looked kind of messy compared to another S600 and a few other minor differences, and I realised...

    Getting wet

    Funny name to log in with but it was my nickname when I was quite young and "Moby" was taken. Off to the pool tomorrow to continue my metamorphosis from a holiday diver to what I think of as a 'sport diver'. Jagman is a great instructor and is gently introducing me to all sorts of stuff. Maybe...
