Wet, Dry or Semi-Dry?
March 26th, 2010Water conducts heat away from the body 25 times faster than air – so it is quite easy to see that we are likely to get cold quite quickly if we don’t wear insulation!

Stuck…
March 19th, 2010I’m now back in London, staying with my sister while I wait to fly back to Malta. We’ve done some fun stuff, I’ve seen all her different university buildings around London now, which was interesting, and we went to the big mall near Hammersmith – Westfields is it? That was REALLY cool!

Book: The Diving Manual
March 19th, 2010
ISBN-13: 978-0953891924
Review
This book is a very good introduction to diving covering all of the basics and introducing you to different aspects of diving so you can go and research the areas that you find interesting. It covers all aspects of the BSAC Ocean Diver diver course, with some extra information thrown in around it.
If you are learning to dive, or have not dived for a while, this is a very good book to have, it assumes nothing and tells you everything!
