Alternatively... anyone know a good dive shop between Swindon and Wraysbury (ie just off the M4) where i might get one. the Wraysbury shop doesn't have any in.

PM on its way

I might be able to pick you up one tomorrow- my drysuit is off to seaskin for some repairs so I'm borrowing a drysuit from my LDS - unless somebody wants to lend me an XL 10 boot membrane for a few days or I dive in a semi-dry.

Let me know and I will try and pick one up

[sailorbuoy]

Thanks Ian - see PM.

Everyone else thanks for the help - we have a plan.

See ya tommorrow!

l've got one you can borrow. It's slightly more than XL and it has size 11 booties.


Oh and it's mainly orange, with a splash of blue.

[IanDennis]

Thanks Howard thats the second suit I've been offered. Can I take you up on that as I really don't do wetsuits

Seaskin have my suit and the things I want done should be finished by next friday when I'm up there- just in time for another low vis sea dive the following weekend

[Diving Dude]

Ian.

l'll be popping along this evening and l'll bring it with me.

[hogen-deifar]

I'd really like to have another bimble tonight if either Scubee or Puddle Dude wouldn't mind being a very patient buddy with me please?????

Thanks?

[Scubee]

I will be there, shouldn't be a problem if you want to get in the water with me - I am currently buddyless

[Scubee]

Just having a bit of a tidy up....
