Excellent last time people talked in this section it was about the dive show. I do quite a bit of Uk diving and mainly like to get up to stoney during the week or up to Gildenburgh at weekend as stoney way to busy. I am a member of a SAA club who do more drinking than diving so always looking...

Hi blackstars, i have been diving the TPII + Rec wing with twin steel tanks. i have one set of twin 7ltr's and a set of 10ltr's both are banded and manifolded. I first bought the stabalizing plates but they seemed a strange and hard way of fixing them on (never used in end) i then bought the...

It amazed me the amount of UK divers who smoke, drink heavy and are over weight.I was worried about not being able to dive as i smoked when i first took up this sport but it seems to be the other way round. I smoked for twenty years but worked out/swam daily so always kidded myself one would...

Hi locker have to agree with Ari on this one the Rec wing is an all rounder .I have used it with Single 12,15 ltrs and double 7,10 litres all pretty stable.As already said if you use it with singles just pullin the cord tighter under the wing.Good piece of kit hope you enjoy yours as much as i...

A diver lies on his hospital bed , desperatly ill with an oxygen mask covering his mouth.A young nurse doing her rounds arrives to sponge his face and hands."Nurse," he mumbles, "tell me are my testicles black?". Embarrassed, the young nurse explains how she's only there to wash him, and carries...

An alternative opinion to the good advice above but ,i had the same problem when i purchased my drysuit after two minutes of wearing my eyes and viens started to bulge and if felt bad.My LDS said trim it or stretch it. I chose to stretch and if that did not work i would trim after.I put talc...

Well i'm not one to moan but........ Walked into my LDS with two sets of twins to get air fills one twin 7's and one twin 10's . Normally i get fills for my single 12 and 15 and it costs £2.50 for 12ltr and £3.00 for 15ltr which i do not have a problem with as it is about average for uk. so...

Thanks guys, Actually UP you are not wrong about finding the remote its bungeed to the side of the tank which looks like it could be easy to move round and lose at the wrong time,also when i've tried tunring it ,it all seems to twist up and really hard to turn on/off. My mind was really made...

Hi All, I,m just getting into this twinset business and bought a used pair of 10 ltr twins manifolded and banded but instead of an isolator knob it has a slob knob (remote).As some one new to practasing shut downs is this an advantage or hindrence.Before using i want to get them O2 leaned so...

Thanks jut, It makes sense now:) Keep with the BSAC they are one of the best for a solid UK training . I hope your not trying to suggest it's impossible to fail a PADI course:D Just out of interest what are you doing your degree in and what part of the Uk do you live. Regards, MAL..
