Before I start this post, it is a question seeking answers, not speculating
about the circumstances of this incident nor picking holes in techniques
"supposed" from news reports. I have already expressed my condolences in
another thread.....

Yesterday and advert for a piece of kit caught my eye so I rang the company concerned at 4.00pm to check availability.
I was advised to check the size i needed and then get back to them with the order with the advice that they closed at 5.30pm, this i did. At 5.00pm I placed my ...

My bottle was last tested in January 02.
At the time I think bottles were tested for 2 years, now it's 30
months.
Is that 30 months retrospective? Ie is my bottle 6 weeks out of test

INMHO, I would not normally use such a line, because they are a liability
when not used properly or when the potential problems manifest themselves.
I do, however, have a very stout line with a caribeener on the end,

slots on the UKRS backplate line up with those on the Halcyon Pioneer wing?
Its taken me long enough to get round to getting one, I've just checked the
archives and found that I said I would be getting one ...

I've just bought one of the above backplates from Combro, and I have a
couple of questions.
       what would be a recommendation for a suitable low profile STA?
       Will a Buddy Travel Wing (16kg) be suitable? and if not what

Seeing that my plans to use a UKRS Backplate with just the wing has been
scuppered, I now seek a cheapish STA.  So far I've found one at Portland
Oceaneering for ?25.  Anyone know of a better offer or have one to sell

them today and they said they could recondition it but

tell me which is the best one and what is Otter Skin material.

OK,
I promised to report back on my experiences on the Nitek Duo. I took it with
me yesterday on a relatively leisurely ice dive on a local wreck. So I have
no yet tried how it performs in real deco, but here are some initial

I wonder if anyone can help me? My wife and I are going to be diving the
Farne islands in June. We live on the south coast so we're going to fly
to Edinburgh and hire a car to drive down. This means obviously we need
to hire cylinders and weight belts. Sovereign diving have ...
