My new kit, comments please...

Pete, you don't mean these do you ?

Yes thankyou Phill.......do you know how much my bank manager got worried when he found out I browse your store. My card limits were cut down so fast it set off speed cameras.....

Just as an aside Phill, what's happened to the 21w? Is it now 'superseded' (for want of a better word) by the 18w and 24w or is it off the site for another reason?
Only ask as the 9ah 21w seemed to have the killer value and power combination. The newer ones are that bit more expensive and it just seemed funny to take out such a well regarded torch

Exactly! How else would you see all the pretty coloured fish 30m below you in the murky North Sea as you surface swim back to the boat that for some reason won't come to get you?

Ah yes, the snorkel challenge! The only way to make beer/lager/ale taste nice - drink it through a snorkel while being hung upside down!

Don't listen to the snorkel bashing. A snorkel is a great thing to have with you. In the Red Sea you can snorkel between dives, you get to go in off the rib to see the dolphins that have come to play without partaking in the national breath holding championships, in the UK you can jump in and see the basking sharsk. For the latter, if you are too cool to have one you either stay on the boat or have to ask to borrow one off those with the foresight to bring them

Yeah, lou and vid are actually right, but noone would like to admit it

If I had not taken my snorkel on the last liveaboard I would have missed over half an our of snorkelling with a pod of dolphins so think on you lot with your black and shiney technical gear and as for the knife - the only thing I have used my knife for is to sharpen my pencil or to use for my packed lunch.
