You could put your savings in your wife's name and protect it through limited liability (or at least you can in the UK). But make sure not to get divorced.

I don't know whether it teaches you much about scuba, in fact it is mainly focused on free diving, but Le Grand Bleu is one of the most beautiful films in the world, especially if you love water. Can't recommend it enough.

Cancelled.

Hey, I'm Eva, newly certified DM and so incredibly excited to be in this industry (finally). Love cold water and warm water equally, and care a lot about adapting diving for less able bodied people and dive medicine generally. If anyone has any advice about good spots to practice in the city or...

It would be a relief. And unless I have misunderstood you're talking about changing your behaviour based on whether you find someone hot or not. In a thread about objectification and sexism. That's a shame.

It's a shame that in a discussion about sexism you didn't include the fact that he made a point of calling my gender into it and made assumptions about why I fell. If he had been in anyway responsible for my safety (thankfully he wasn't) his assumption would have led him to miss that I actually...

I think perhaps it is a matter of priorities. I actually agree that people can be a lot less considerate in some ways - for example not getting up for a pregnant woman on the train is outrageous. But we are also very conscious of consent, and that a person has a right to individual space. It can...

What is very different here is that they are your buddy. I expect that kind of contact, wetsuits are wetsuits, they're a tight fit and occasionally need a wriggle around and stretch. I assume you would zip someone up without an invitation right? These aren't invited touches - when someone's...

Thank-you for all the great responses and I do understand the point better to help than not (though of course people are protective about their gear and you don't want to intrude on a specialised set-up). That's really true and diving is a co-operative pastime. I imagine there are a lot of women...

That sounds ideal, thank-you so much. Have you tried it yourself at all?

Thanks so much for letting me know about the shark dives. Don't really do them (kind of a wreck junkie) but really good to know. And thanks for the recommendation too of course.

Thank-you for sharing this as the more stories we hear the more we can learn. The last paragraph, as people have said is worrying but I think it also betrays something that a lot of divers do - manufacturing what was a dangerous, irresponsible situation into a 'thrill' after the fact. It saves...

Sorry, realised plenty of people have posted about the benefits of carrying your own SMB. I'm so sorry this happened to you and absolutely inexcusable on the part of the DM.

Alright, gonna put the obligatory 'not most men' here but is anyone else really sick of being called a 'lady diver' instead of a diver? Or people assuming that you need help even when you've got about 200 more dives under your belt then the fella trying to help you/feel you up in your suit...

Hi, I want to paint my gloves white to make it easier for people to see my hand signals in lower vis (I was up in green water at 5m vis and I found hand signals against the chest don't work without a torch). I've seen that mares and cress do some 3mm gloves with white stripe but ideally I want...
