In case you’re interested, just back from trip: Temperature at Brothers was 24-25 Temperature at Daedalus was nearer 29. Took a 3mm wetsuit and was comfortable at brothers, v warm at Daedalus. Cold in the wind on surface but fairly easy to avoid. Sea was relatively rough but nothing crazy. A...

Thanks @drk5036. You may be right... I've onlly ever done lievaboards in warmer waters. I never dive with a 5mm... may go and get myself a full 3mm though

Thanks @drk5036 - thinking sharkskin full-suit, maybe with 3mm shortie over the top... I tend not to get too cold

Thank you @scubajasonr and @Mod63 - much appreciated! Seems like i'll need to prepare for 23-26...

Does anyone have any reliable (personal experience) of the red sea water temperature in November (1st and 2nd week) around BDE? Trying to find information online but figures range from 18-30 degrees (seatemperature.org, watertemperature.org, scubaboard etc etc) Any insights from personal...

Can you do that underwater? Will do a specific test in a couple of weeks

Took my teric on a Liveaboard for a week and it worked a charm! Got lots of positive comments. Great screen, super clear. Battery life ok - 4 dives and using watch on “low” brightness depleted battery about 20% over a day Couple of things to note: Also tried using a 3rd party qi charger and...

Just got mine. It’s exactly as cool as it looks. Very excited to try it out in the Red Sea in a few weeks. Thanks to John at Big Squid – PADI Scuba Diving Centre | London

Any UK suppliers out there that have some in stock? Or Shearwater - fancy selling direct to your desperate customers??

Sold out till Oct

UK friends. Where are you getting them from? I can’t find supplier with less than 10 week turnaround. Want for Liveaboard in August...

Hi. Yes I dd. Went with Blue Ocean Dive (Home - Blue Ocean Dive Resort | Aliwal Shoal | Umkomaas). Had an absolutely fantastic time. Not luxury but perfectly comfortable and has a great vibe and met some fantastic people. Gary and Nikki, the owners are really great fun. Diving was superb. Be...

Dear Hivemind Am really keen to try out sidemount but before I invest in all the kit (and freeze half to death in UK O/W), would love to give it a go in a pool. Any recommendations very gratefully received Thanks in advance

Hi - anyone know where i can get hold of an u/w housing for a 5d Mk1... assume the housings for Mk2/3/4 won't fit? Any advice appreciated...

Hi. Posted this yesterday in another thread. In short, Eilat well worth a visit though it doesn’t compare to rest of Red Sea from what I’ve heard. Lots to do in israel. Would suggest Jerusalem, Dead Sea, Baha’i gardens (Haifa) if you want to tour around. Spend some time in tel Aviv too if you...

Have done a lot of diving in Eilat, including my DM and AI this summer and a week between xmas and NYE last year. The water temp is around 21 in Dec but as someone mentioned, the wind can be a killer on the SI. I dove with a full-length sharkskin and a shorty over the top and was v comfortable...

Hi Hoping to do a week of diving in November and would like to try and do both sites. Anyone got any personal reccos for good clubs in either - looking for high quality, good service and comfort... Thanks in advance

I slipped two discs 2 weeks before going to do my DM and AI internships this summer (L4-5 and L5-S1). Took a lot of pain relief (codeine, diazepam and Naproxen) and physio before going then pain relief as needed before/after diving. I also have beginnings of arthritis in both knees and normal...

Hello everyone Does anyone have any good recos for a liveaboard in Egypt? Are there any operators that stand out from the crowd in terms of quality, safety, and customer service (think Mike Ball on the GBR)?? Would love to hear any first-hand experience Thanks
