[Steve Summers]

What's with the proper name Mr Summers - getting all grown up

Haven't you heard, I'm going to be an instructor for GOOEY?

Safe diving,
Steve

Having paid all that money - you don't want it popping back out now do you?

[Diving Dude]

Excuse my ignorance but can you explain DIR Compliance please??

they must look cool and they must make you look like a dive god in the water.

l'd say it's more like a Chav in his black Nova with chromed exhaust, him and his mates think he looks cool whilst the rest of humanity thinks 'What a nob'

I use an Aquatek X450 membrane dry suit with integral rock boots and run of the mill undersuit, along with Mares Avanti Quattros (in yellow no less!) and normally use ankle weights on the inside of the suit. However, on Sunday I did my first dive without them in Viv and was soooo much more comfortable without them!

i have only used them once, in the sea. they did help as it was very shallow in parts and it was hard to keep my feet down! (in a neo DS)
never really needed to use them again though.
