I do allot of diving...usually around 50-60 dives per year...I have been diving since I was 14 :lol:
Most of my diving these days is done in South Devon (scalloping) now although I have dived in many parts of the world.
I recently had a MTM commercial drysuit from ROHO. Really good suit for the money.
Just wish we have bettter weather this year so I can get out more!
Only trouble with diving is it takes as much time & money as my Landy's :roll: :lol:

Funnily enough I've been looking at the RoHo Commercial myself. Currently have an oldish Otter trilaminate suit, which was MTM, only not for me ;). It's one of my uncle's suits, who happens to be that bit shorter and that bit wider, so there's enough material there, just not in the right places! Also currently has a knackered neck seal. And annoyingly when he got the boots changed from size 9 to size 12 when he passed it on to me, they were done in neoprene, and air has a habit of gathering there and causing me problems when upside-down!
Phoning the contact BSAC have on file for the club in town tonight, possibly to arrange going to their pub meet tomorrow evening. Then it's a case of booking my reg and Buddy Commando in for a service, getting my cylinder tested, ordering the suit and off I go again! A mate of mine was interested in work today, as he did a basic PADI taster course on holiday last year. Then he asked how much a full set of UK-sensible kit was going to set him back, sharp intake of breath, then he changed the subject ;)
And as for you fair-weather-divers, shame on you! Though admittedly the most exotic place I've dived was Trearddur Bay, the UK has plenty to offer if you can convince yourself to give it a go. Sure, it's cold, it's dark, but it has it's own attractions. My first open water dive was at Capernwray (flooded quarry), middle of February, about 6pm. The water temperature was something silly like 2 degrees C, came as quiet a shock when I was asked to do mask clearing!

All sorted, going into town to their meet tomorrow evening to get signed up. They want me to dig out my old training records, see what I've done, do a couple of assessment dives and then decide how much work I need to put in from there, rather than have me start all over again from scratch. Plus they've got kit I can borrow whilst I wait for mine to be serviced. Woohoo!

Sun dodgers...not for me :lol:
AP Valves do a great service on there buddy gear, stabs, Air2 etc... (reasonable rates too).
Personally I service my regs myself but you may need to get them done professionally (dependant on make).
If you go for the ROHO suit make sure they fit the AP valves swivel inflator. Personally I like the cuff dump not the shoulder auto dump (but it's personal taste).
If you have a diving computer it would be worth having it serviced/battery chaged while your at it.
If anyone is in Devon & fancies getting wet then let me know...weather dependant :roll:
A 4x4/diving weekend could be a good idea :D

I did the same with Sea Fishing. I can see the sea from my house, but havnt Sea fished in 4 years. :)
