What Insurance do I need as an open water diver, only diving in the UK.
(Unless anyone knows 6 lucky numbers) From what I understand I need 3rd
party and something to cover the cost of rescue, all my gear seems to be
covered on the house insurance ?

Has anyone any recommendations as to the best method of keeping my hands
warm whilst diving?
I need to maintain a reasonable level of dexterity too so there may have to
be a level of compromise but any relevant advice or tips you've got - I'm

Some of you may remember my underwater photographs from Malta last
June. I've just updated my website of underwater photographs to include
Corfu and northen Red Sea trips if anyone is interested.
There's also a selection of photos from one of Duxford's airshows.

I bought a divrite Rec wing a few years ago, thinking that it would be
good to have a wing that is suited to single and twinset diving.
However, since all of my diving is very much recreational, I'm looking
at changing it to a smaller wing more suited to my type of diving. I

headache when diving from a RIB, and often at other times. Depths were

Hi.  Does anyone have any ideas about how best to cut lead sheet?  It's
about 5mm thick and I want to cut some shapes out of it for dive weights.  I
think it's too thick for tin snips.

Having exhaused our supply of the small CO2
cannisters for the small/emergency blobs, I now
find they are about £2.50 each in a dive shop!
I believe cyclists use them sometimes and get

Hollywood calling! Fabien Cousteau (le grand-son) got the Hollywood
designer of E.T. "phone home" to build him a full-size swimming

I picked up a second hand blackplate (Portland 2), wing (DR classic) &
harness (Diverite) a couple of weeks ago.  The harness was badly frayed, so
I chopped it up, intending to use the D rings and bits with a single piece
of webbing.

As in previous years, we've got Woody's boat booked for the weekend of
2nd/3rd July. This has traditionally been the trimix weekend, but this
year it seems that none of the usual trimix crowd can make it, and that
includes me.

Simple as that.
If you remember a while back there was the whole thing about the original
low-profile dump valves being somewhat leaky - well mine started leaking and
I got in touch with them.  They said "send it back and we'll send you a new

I have read various posts from the past about the software and cables
provided by uwatec. I have the cables for the old DOS system - but the
