Yeah I never thought of Amazon to begin with, but had a look this morning and found a case for £19.95, jobs a good one.

On a point about the go pro, I have a hero session, it is rated up to a certain depth but I need one that can go to 20 meters plus, is there a case I can buy so I can use my camera at those depths or should I sell what I have and buy one fit for purpose.

Hi All, Well, once again a massive thanks for everyones advise, what a weekend it has been, at one point during the last dive, I had a carp swim right up to my face, it swan round my head, then I looked and 5 more swam up and they were just swimming round me it was incredible, I was gutted I...

Yeah I have 2 cylinders, last weekend I finally got round to making a cylinder rack, really simple concept, see my picture below, but the cylinders can't roll round and once strapped down with a ratchet strap, i'm more than happy they will be secure :)

Great reply, thank you

Thanks again to everyone who replied, I guess I don't have to worry about getting my cylinders filled the day before I go for a dive anymore I can do it as and when. Great stuff. Have a great day everyone John

Pmsl oh dear it was late last night when I posted ha ha.

Hi All, I got my cylinder tested and filled during lockdown, ive been using it to practise kitting up and making sure my regs work sound, basically just playing until the sites re open. I kitted up last weekend and I have good a good 210psi in the cylinder. My question is this, how long can...

Its a Citroen Berlingo Van, its a 2008 model with 142,000 miles on the clock, its had a hard life before I got it, but it did only cost me £1,200 and the engine and clock are sound, I ve had a new cam belt and water pump fitted at £390 but that is all ive spent on it.

I am building my tank rack tomorrow, spent today fitting the lighting in the back of the van, its a cool little set up, a light system with its own battery pack which I can remove so the batteries last longer outside of the summer months, I have set up the box containers to hold and handle my...

I'm thinking a similar set up, just put some soft bags like my drysuit and under suit in front of the valves the give them some protection.

Thanks to everyone for the ideas and advice, think this weekend I will do a dummy run with loading up the van, I will have a better idea when it comes to dive day.

That's a good point, my diving instructor always drilled into me that if a valve was to get knocked off its like a missile going off....

Nice... I covered the back floor with carpet, blankets and rugs, partly to help block road noise but also stops everything sliding round.

When you mentioned strapping the cylinder to the BCD, I thought, might as well as just set up the kit ready to throw straight on lol, more dive time :)

Thats brilliant, thank you, yeah I was looking at putting one of the tanks in the front passenger side, great idea for the second in the back. Thanks again, much appreciated. John

Hi All, Not long now, first dive back is booked in for the 3rd April and I cannot wait. Been busy over the latest lock down, getting some more kit together and I got myself a kick ass little van, plenty of space in the back to carry my gear, get changed on those rainy days and have a flat...

Hi Scuba307, Yeah I got a free fill when my used cylinder got serviced, but its good to have a second comment saying the same thing, I managed to save a bit of money over lockdown, so thinking take the plunge and buy a new one :) Thanks again John

Hi Marie13, yes i'm from the UK, I would imagine things are industry standard but thanks very much for your advise it's much appreciated. Thanks again John
