Guest Scuba1 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 its a bit colder in the uk...dry suits and thermals lol. I dive dry anyway most of the time but its not that its the lack of visibility that gets me as I like to take pictures while I am down there and here its a bit naff for that. I have worked for long enough in the north sea to not just jump in this muddy puddle for the heck of it unless someone pays me to do it. ATB Michael Quote Link to post

John-B 4 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I can't get away with the tiny .177 pellets, they just don't seem to do it for me, never owned a .177 so it's .22 all the way Quote Link to post

After 30 plus years diving and working in diving, the fresh water stuff just does not do it for me mate. I know that there is a place called stoney cove, but over the weekends there are hundreds of divers hopping in there and you have to walk down to the water for quite a stretch when the car park is filled up as it usualy is over the summer. No, fresh water is great stuff for rinsing my kit once in a while, but diving in it, I don't think so. ATB Michael Quote Link to post
