I'm looking for a solution for travelling and setting up independant
twins. I already have buddy twinning blocks and have used them for
several years on and off, but I'm now looking for a solution that I
could just bolt directly onto my current backplate without having to

I'm a Brit, but fled to warmer waters long ago to live the dream (dive
centre in tropical waters). I've got a paltry amount of money to spend
on advertising, and want to target the UK diving press.
But which one!? I contacted them both and received some marketing

Little island off the west coast of Mull, famous for being where Fingal's

My boss has just come back from a walking trip in the Azores. I have done a
google search to see what is available. Have to take a two hour flight to
Lisbon and then another two hour onto the Azores apparently. Thinking of

Is there an online resource that explains about tides?  I don't mean I want
tide tables.  I understand about the time of the tide changing, and that the
height of the tide changes depending on the phase of the moon.  In fact, I
thought I understood it pretty well, but "Dive South ...

Anyone have any good recommendations for diving in Cornwall as I'm going

I've only looked at this group for the first time today.
I've been snorkelling in Greece and Italy. I love watching the fish and
seeing the colours of the rocks and things that you just don't see unless
you look below the surface.

Going to sharm in Nov, newly qualified OW diver.

I've just rejigged my kit to twins since i got the bits ages ago and never
quite got round to it.  They're just independent (since one of the tanks

I am only thinking about new cylinders. two 12 litters but which ones are
the lightest

I will try to get proper fills but who ever knows when you don't own your

Hello to all,
I'm contemplating my first trip to the Red Sea this winter (I'm American
and it's not a very common dive destination for us.) and thought this
might be a good place to inquire.
