    Solo Diving - what's in a name?

    With the greatest of respect mate, it sounds like you've missed the whole point of the question. This is no mere quibble over semantics - more a coversation about folks' awareness as to the level of self-sufficiency needed to be a true solo-diver, and not simply someone who might share the...

    Solo Diving - what's in a name?

    Is solo-diving the most appropriate term for this aspect/style of diving? Have a look at the polll and make your choice - and explain why you might use it or one of the other terms to best decribe this type of diving. Is all 'solo-diving' self-sufficient diving?

    European Divers!

    I see a lot of the usual suspects are here - Hi guys! THe3 diving all around the UK is first rate - more wrecks - in all depths - than you can poke a stick at and scenics to die for! AS long as you're not a confirmed warm-water-only pansy, you'll love it. So much to offer. ;) Maybe see...

    Diving after flying

    Amen to that Rick. You can dive the moment you step off a plane - it's the other way around you need to be concerned about: flying after diving. There are various opinions on this and the general conscensus is leave any flying until between 12 and 24 hours after your last dive. Stay...

    Which Fins?

    Hey Rook, If I were you (living in MI) and only going to FP for a wee dipette or three, I'd go with the prevailing conditions of both places. If you dive a dry-bag in MI, this might suggest that you have standard dry-bag boots on the suit. This in turn might require a fin with a broader...

    "'almost' ALWAYS" ?? Is there such a state?? Mixing absolutes (always) with conditionals (almost)?? :D And yes, we can go diving now - I've got a ruck of diving coming up (to go with over 1,500 dives already done in 14 years of getting wet) in the shape of the Anglesey (island off North...

    Errr....a rather nebulous statement, that: 'Which words were not made up?' Being as there are over 1.5 miilion words in the English language in general and daily use (outside of the extra 750,000+ in use in the scientific sphere), might you like to give us a clue, or be a tad more specific as...

    OK, bearing the above in mind, the message being what? To use incorrect grammar and made-up words such as 'systematize'? A brave stance, if I may say so: ALWAYS!? Surely that's predicated on where the quote appears within the structure of the sentence? I agree. Decent and worthwhile...

    (A) Unless, of course, the communication of said feelings/opinions/ideas are lost in meaningless verbiage or jargon; rapped in cant and butchered language - which, invariably, finds its root-cause in poor (there's no such thing as 'bad') grammar? (B) With respect, interrupts got little, if...
