Hi I'm looking to get an underwater camera setup, as unfortunately I got my existing camera before starting to dive and no housing is made for it. I'm not sure though which direction to go in, I've been offered a used Konica-Minolta X60 with housing for £150, but am also looking at compact...

Anyone?

I'm looking to get my first set of kit in the New Year having recently got my PADI AOW qualification. At the moment I'm looking at getting BCD and reg but may also get a suit. I'm planning to mainly dive on holiday in warmer water, but will also do a bit of UK diving do would need regs suitable...

It really depends on how much you're planning to dive. I'd recommend mask, fins and snorkel, also a dive computer like a Suunto Gecko is worth having. Other than that, spend your money on diving rather than kit, that way you can try a few different regs, bcds etc and will be more informed when...

Hi, Yes, I remember learning about deco diving when studying for my Open Water qualification, my question was really aimed at a holiday I'm going on in a couple of months where there may be some dives down to 30m (still a non-deco dive), all dives will be guided so I guess it should be ok - I...

I think it's a recommended limit, if I was with an instructor I'd be happy to go deeper than 18m but just wanted to check what the guidelines were.

Hopefully this will be a quick question, I know the official maximum depth for an PADI Open Water Diver is 18m, I was just wondering if this was different when accompanied by a qualified instructor/divemaster or equivalent? ie. could I go down to 30m when accompanied by an instructor? Cheers

Thanks, I've done a bit of research and am probably looking at a couple of Suunto models, the Vyper and Gecko, although if anyone has any other recommendations I'd be grateful! I know this has probably been done to death on here, but is it worth paying the extra for the Vyper - I'm only...

Hi, I've booked a diving holiday through my local dive centre, I'm planning to hire most kit but they've recommended I get my own computer or watch, and have a couple of questions: 1. Is a computer a better investment than a watch for a beginner? 2. Can you recommend a good entry level...

The package is a week's stay at the Voyager Beach Resort on Nyali Beach, all inclusive for £970, this includes 10 boat dives including tank and weights. For an additional £100 there is an option to go on an overnight safari to Tsavo National Park. Do you know anything of this resort and/or the...

Has anyone been diving in Mombasa, Kenya? My local dive centre is organising a dive holiday later this year, if anyone can let me know about quality of diving, water temperature etc as well as quality of resorts I would be grateful.

Hi, I'm looking to buy a drysuit, has anyone any experience of using any of the following suits or can reccommend a good entry level suit? Northern Diver Vortex Oceanic HD400 bias any Typhoon suits Aquion Titanium pro Thanks

Possible, although I'm not sure I have the money to buy one at the moment. What's the difference between a £300-£350 suit and a £550 suit? Also, what would I need in the way of an undersuit? Would you reccommend I just do the drysuit orientation pool session (£40) or the speciality course (£80...

I did my Open Water course about 6 months ago, but have not done any diving since. My local dive club in the UK uses drysuits exclusively for UK dives so it looks like I'll have to do at least a drysuit orientation, however I reckon I'd be better going a bit further by doing either my advanced...

Thanks for the advice everyone, having also looked at pictures from other UK clubs' dives in the UK I noticed that everyone seems to be wearing drysuits - looks like a wetsuit may not be a sensible option! Probably better to do a drysuit course and invest in a 5mm wetsuit for diving in the...

Hi, I've recently qualified as a PADI Open Water Diver and am keen to do a bit of diving this summer, however this may be a mix of UK coastal diving and diving in warmer climates. Having spoken to a few people, I've decided to hire kit and spend money on diving whilst I work out what BCD, Regs...
