Lovely morning in the pool, no photos today:( Rich and Justin enjoyed helping Maggie and Peter with refreshing their theory and dive skills after quite some time out of the water, it all came back to them as the pool session went on though which was great to see. I just enjoyed hanging about in my sidemount gear, love being underwater. It was nice to see my family in for a swim too:) looking forward to the next session already ;))) ... See MoreSee Less

Great fun in the pool yesterday, really nice to see young divers Emily and Oliver refreshing their skills and Louise and Wayne getting in and practicing their skills. All just having a lot of time enjoying being underwater.

I got to have a little play with the camera, variety of different settings just to see what happens, shooting natural light and with a single strobe and a video light. The pool is the perfect place to relax and hang out, to try new kit, keep skills fresh over the winter and have a play with your camera.

Next pool sessions are 2nd Feb, let us know what you would like to work on. Keep an eye out for some more buoyancy workshops and finning techniques workshops and some kit trying out days coming soon:))

What a way to kick off the pool sessions for 2019 with a buoyancy workshop for David, Keira and Evelyn with myself and Justin, and drysuit confined work for AJ and Sam with Rich and Dave.

Well done everyone, it was so nice to see you all get so much out of it. You were all able to see some really great results and improvements in your trim, hovering and finning techniques.

Great work guys and lots of fun:) @DiveSouth #DiveSouth #diveRAID #diveRAIDUK #LearnToScuba #Hovering ... See MoreSee Less

Ghost Fishing - UK
What are you doing this evening? 7pm this evening... How about gathering round and getting stuck into this film premiere called 'Fishing for Plastic' from our very own Sophie Devereau. Sophie joined us in May to document a Ghost Fishing UK project to clean up a huge gill net, releasing 57 spider crabs that day. She did so well we handed her the job of Media Officer immediately. Sophie was making a film about ocean plastics for her Masters degree in journalism (which she aced, by the way) and she has kindly allowed us to release it. The film features several of our Ghost Fishing UK team members, from Mull down to Plymouth and we would love you to join us for this premiere and spread the word. Please share far and wide and we look forward to you joining us at 7pm GMT this evening. ... See MoreSee Less

We all love a good holiday in the sun and in the water but we want to avoid using sunscreen and damaging aquatic life, but still protecting ourselves from UV Rays...Heading off to warmer waters? Take care of your skin without damaging the ocean. Pollutants in sunscreens are killing the coral in our oceans.

I think I will be converting to these soon, Rich and Scott are getting on well with theirs - is anyone else using them? What are your thoughts?Our innovative NX Series bolt snaps turned out to be a massive success. They are more lightweight and way easier to handle than any common bolt snaps. Now it's time to supplement the range with a double-ender! Please check the feature diagram published in NX Series group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/xdeepnxseries/permalink/1003122746532354/ You may be also interested in the photos published here: https://www.facebook.com/XdeepGear/posts/1833687446693025 ...

To add my ten cents worth... I was a little doubtful of the design of these. I mean - how different can a bolt snap be from another bolt-snap, right? However having used them a few times now, I gotta say that I am impressed. The gates slide more easily than the ones I had, the trigger and finger support work really well while using my dry gloves, and the off center swivel on the large snap is one of those "well duh - of course its better!" kind of things! I should point out that that asymmetry means it is possible to get them the wrong way around on your side mount tanks!
