Builder Bloke, It took me ages to get my head round them, but it comes eventually. The key is practice, practice, practice, all tables give headaches, just some more than others, The SAA do a little book to accompany their tables and it is a big help - have no fear there is one on the way to...

Nearly purchased a very expensive Rattle with MARES stamped on the side. It retailed at £25.00GBP. So being a resourcful chap I went home raided the shed forn a 6inch length of 15mm copper tube, filled it with some 10mm ball bearings, soldered two endcaps on it and voila, one home made...

I got two to tick. You missed the SAA of your poll (hardly surprising really) But I started with the Sub Aqua Association but after taking a PADI course crossed over.

I am afraid I cannot offer you any arguments over which is better, all I can do is endorse the Transpac2. I have one, I am probably one of the few divers in the UK that does (specially whin my group). I love it, it's comfortable, light, dry's nice n quick (I live in a flat - drying time is...

I find it hard to catagorise myself, Although I have only been diving for 18 months,I have logged over 160 dives a majority of them in the cold dark waters of the UK. I am a certified SAA Dive Leader, PADI Eanx Diver, PADI Rescue diver, medic first aid, SAA Assistant Instructor, yadda, yadda...

This has probably been discusse before but: TRAINING CLUB or Organisation? I was taught by my local club, an SAA one. The training, I thought was carried out in a methodical, safe way using BSAC structure and information by guys who taught for the love of it (I am now one of these people)...

Well now, this is interesting, My first kit purchase was online, y'know one of those introductory offers, and yes it was reasonably priced and delivery was not too painfull. However I recently moved house and discovered a LDS right on my doorstep. I have never met three more helpful, open...

I'd love a month in Truk

Hi T-Fairy, Welcome to the boards. Enjoy your training, have fun & as I always tell my students "The only stoopid question is the one you don't ask" May I ask if you are learning in a club environment or have you gone PADI?

Have had slight cold symptons for approx past 18 months my own personal physician who has told me there is nothing wrong that he can see with either my sinuses or my ears, however, as soon as I start sucking on compressed air within one or two days, I develop tinitus and a feeling of swelling...

Without wanting to stick my oar in where it does not concern me.............. Details have emerged of the 254m open-water dive in the Philippines in which 41-year-old Briton John Bennett set a world record depth. The dive beat by a large margin the previous record of 202.5m, set in March by...

Hmmmm, now if my suit was that rather funky blue and yellow number Gates have just released then the contact adhesive, may have been an option. Would'nt I have looked smart at some of the local Maltese nightclubs?! :jester:

NEW SEALS IT IS THEN Thanx for the input MALTA HERE I COME :yea:

Many thanx, I know my LDS can put new ones on if I need them, it's just I'm off to Malta next week for a fortnights diving. Ah well seems I'll be taking the SemiDry after all.

Its a getes pro cbx450 (sounds more like a motorcycle) the suits is custom made and fits like a glove everywhere'cept my skinny little wrists which appear to have shrunk over the last 4 months. The cuffs themselves are latex. - anyway of shrinking them?

Okay, broke my drysuit out of mothballs this morning, and thought to myself "AH, I knew wight loss would have some bad effects" My wrists flap about in the cuffs, I've lost weight alright but it appears most of it has come off my ankles and wrists, any suggestions for making the cuffs a better...
