Our club has two O2 kits, one small old one with a pin index fitting,

Well I've got shiny new 5060, with housing, plus YS60, plus digital
adaptor.
One thing I can't work out how to do is set the custom white balance. The

Went to Sharm last September for the first time and had a great time -
diving was excellent.
Thinking of going to Taba in March, but was wondering if anyone had been.
Just me and my other half going, but he doesnt dive and I'm 3 months

February, so that i'll have got some experience before using our club RIB in

and get practicing, i'll look to getting a made-to-measure when I have a bit
more disposable cash.

On the way up to Icebreakes I dragged Danny off to help
