It is a struggle sometimes, perhaps especially for us gentlemen that haven't prioritized flexibility. I have one combination of undersuit and drysuit that makes it very hard to reach the valves. I usually reach the first stage and then "finger-walk"/pull my hand to the valve in that case...

Sunscreen.

What would she like to do? Photography (on land) is a big hobby of mine, and my kids love to take pictures as well. But they are completely uninterested in composition or exposure, and basically just want to get snaps of as many different animals (or flowers, or cars or whatever) as possible. So...

My son got certified last year when he was ten (in fact the reason I got certified was to be with him in the class). He is a big kid and managed the physical portions well (we got certified in dry suits), and he did really well on the theory. We then went in to dive in warm waters, and I think...

Great writeup and commentary. Since going through fundies a couple of weeks ago, I'm diving steel 12L doubles and dry suit, and feel nicely in trim with steel plate, can and backup lights and no extra wheight, with some issues around ascending from about the six meter stop with near-empty tanks...

All this talk about secret coordinates, threats, contracts, confusing jurisdictions and so on make me think that there's surely a Grisham-type novel in this somewhere, about a young idealistic lawyer returning to the south to work for a somewhat down-at-heel local law firm (maybe his mother is...

My 10yo son has an Oceanic Mini Shadow that fits him well. Not a kids mask (they were too small generally) but a small adult mask.

All assistance much appreciated! We've decided to go with one of the larger operator either in Naama or in Sharm proper. If there is a next time we'll make sure to plan the accommodations a bit better wrt diving.

Thanks! I've sent out some mails, but it's hard to separate the good from the bad based on Internet research. I've sent a PM as well.

Earlier this year we decided to take a winter vacation somewhere warm rather than go skiing as we usually do. Since then I and my son have taken up diving, so I'd like to find a good dive centre. We're staying at the Mirabel resort in Nabq Bay. The trip was planned before diving was a...
