Scuba Forum / UK Scuba / July 2003red sea liveaboard
a little advise from the more experienced please... we're off to the red sea on a liveaboard soon and was wondering what we should take (apart from diving gear) to make the week more enjoyable?... the boat we're on is the Orchid which has the usual tv/video/stereo etc etc.. is there anything that you all "must take" with you?, be it "bribes" for the crew, fellow divers etc or just anything that is a must to have... all comments welcomed. Steve PS: plse accept my apologies if this messages appears more than once... blueyonder appear to have completely broken their news feed this afternoon so my previous post may appear :( Take some rehydration salts as well. If you get dehydrated and still want to dive you could make yourself liable for a bend. I'd also take spare O rings and bits like: * Spare mask strap (or a complete mask) * Spare fin straps * A backup dive timer in case your computer fails (or gets lost / damaged) * factor 35 or higher sun-tan lotion and after sun. * If you use DIN regulator(s) take either DIN to A clamp converters or (if you still have it) the original A clamp bits and tools to fit them. * at least one DSMB and spool or reel. * spare batteries for any electrical equipment * UK to European travel plug converters * anything you can't get on a boat that will stop you diving if you lose or break it. > a little advise from the more experienced please... we're off to the red sea > on a liveaboard soon and was wondering what we should take (apart from [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > blueyonder appear to have completely broken their news feed this afternoon > so my previous post may appear :( [snip] > a little advise from the more experienced please... we're off to the red sea > on a liveaboard soon and was wondering what we should take (apart from > diving gear) to make the week more enjoyable?... the boat we're on is the > Orchid [snip] Steve, When exactly is "soon" ... we're out on the Orchid on 3/8 ... is this the same week as you? rgds Andy email: newsgroups at andy dash hipkiss dot co dot uk > [snip] > > a little advise from the more experienced please... we're off to the red [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > email: newsgroups at andy dash hipkiss dot co dot uk "soon" was Sunday the 20th ;) - got back the early hours of yesterday morning after a few "problems" with baggage at Gatwick. The guide on the boat was Hassan and he was great, nothing seemed too much trouble and we did some great sites (in fact the entire crew were fantastic!) hope you have a good time... we certainly did.
