There's been much written recently about getting lost but
no real effort has been given to the actual mechanics of how you get
lost!
Obviously this is something you really should take a specialisation

So erm, who was that mysterious inspiration diver.....sat on the deco bar
with a continuous high pitched bleeping noise going off.
I hadnt realised that it was taught that you should grip the buzzer with
your hand to try to shut it up ;)

My take on things with a few tatty pictures

Hehe. Found this little website earlier today and was amusing to see that
NigelH's car seems to feature rather prominently in several of the
photos!!!! ;-)

Well, since no one seems to be doing a report (Chris?)...
We left on the Friday, down to 10 of us due to illness.  The Maureen
does indeed role a bit but nothing like I expected from reports on here
and due to it being designed to roll the roll is quite smooth (if that

I'm looking into doing some work on our local BSAC website, and am wondering
what peoples favourite sites are, and what sort of features they are looking
for. So if you've got any favourites or ideas about whats good (and maybe
bad!), that'd be great!

Can anybody point me in the direction of a good website for British Marine
Wildlife photo's.
I looking generally for an idea of 'good' photo's, as opposed to'ok'
photo's.

I started to read the earlier posts entitled 'spam' and then got bored.
I find it weird why people should get so annoyed when a boat skipper informs
you of his services.  If he didn't tell you he was down there taking divers
to wrecks in Lyme Bay, how would you get to hear about it.

Just about to kit myself out with a 7l aluminium stage cylinder. Looking for
a good quality oxygen-compatible (ie. upto 100% O2) regulator - any
recommendations?

As you know, there are several points of contact between space activities
and diving *, like astronauts training in swimming pools, participating
in Sealab, etc.
* - a shocking one is that frequently astronauts have minor bends,

Like buses aren't they, don't see one for ages then.......

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 ...

I'm having a few problems finding places to dive / people to dive with.  I
thought I had it about sorted now, but its all gone horribly wrong (my local
club seems to be impossible to contact!) and I don't really know how i'm
going to get some diving in.  I'm away from my normal club ...

I'm off on holiday to Sorrento in a few days time, was wondering if it's
worth taking snorkel, fins etc. - what's it like round there near the shore?
As far as dives go, if anyone can recommend somewhere that'd take me on
my own with kit hire I might be tempted, but it's a family ...
