completing the dive, and doing the work, my bag was stolen with my

Anybody know if there is an underwater housing available for the Olympus

this baby.

I am in the early stages of organising a trip on Teignmouth, south Devon
on the 31st July/1st August. Diving will be wrecks in the 30-40m region.

Off to the Costa Brava for a family holiday in May/June - staying in
L'Escala near(ish) the Medes Islands - as a recently qualified OWD I'm

huge chunck of the allowance and so some things always have to be left
behind!!Since I am going away and planning on some drift dives I would
really like some form of smb. I know i could hire one but if i can get

Am I the only one who gets a bit peeved with online retailers who charge
extortionate amounts for delivery in order to make the prices on their
products look cheap? Take Go Dive, for example - visited their website and

In an effort to keep 'er indoors happy, I'm being forced into a week's
holiday in Lanzarote. We'll be staying in Puerto Del Carmen - is it worth me

in Lanzarote? Any good dive centres in Del Carmen? Anything ...
