Scuba Dive in Manchester, DM Club local diving

Some of you may have noticed that our DM Club Members are very much addicted to Scuba Diving. We are out for diving every weekend even when snowing! When sensible people are staying home keeping themselves warm and cozy, DM Club Members are torturing themselves by jumping into the deadly cold water, having "ice-cream" headache and nearly having "frostbites" on fingers. 

Why? Because there's water available for Scuba Diving!
This Sunday was special for our Club Members. Our active member Steve had his 300th dive!! Hooray!! 300th dive!! This is an amazing number! Congratulations, Steve!! We were so happy to share this special dive with Steve.
Many times, we dive in the same diving quarry. Some people may think "it's not interesting if always the same place" Well, that is not true. Even if same location, every dive is different.
I'm a Tech Diving instructor and Trimix Diver myself. Since my students had to postpone their schedule, I had my relaxing pleasure dives with Club Members.
My first dive was with a tech diver. It was like a little check dive. Well, it turned out very relaxing diving for me! He was a brilliant diver and much better diver than he thought himself. :D Waving other divers who were passing by us; watching big fish swimming by us, singling each other for that... Every moment was just FUN!
2nd dive was with other Club Members, another relaxing dive. Oh, this time, those fish were coming so close to us!! Letting us stroke and not even going away! They are normally relaxed around divers, but today, they were extremely relaxed and coming for more strokes! It was GREAT! Most probably they won't act like that next time we go in. Fish do have feeling. 
So, that was Steve's 301st dive. 

Logging dives may not sound exciting. But hey! Once you stop logging, you won't have a chance to celebrate your special dive!
My friend recently did her 3000th dive! Yes, she is still logging!! Amazing isn't it?
I have done so far 2438th dive. Since I moved to UK, I'm not diving every day anymore, but hey! One day, I will have my 3000th! I wonder where it is going to be!

Steve's 300th Dive
Dear Divers! Keep on diving! 
After all, diving is FUN!!!

Paralenz DiveCamera+ (Plus) - Uncover the True Colour of Water World

Scuba diving is great adventure for people who love Sea/Ocean and marine creatures. Underwater Camera is one of the way to have fun in Scuba Diving. When I took a camera for the first time, I encountered Manta Rays..one shot at a far, 2nd shot coming closer, and 3rd shot right above my head!! Although it was many years ago, I remember that like yesterday. I usually take still photos. If it was a video, I started thinking, I could've shared that adventure with my none diver friends with more excitement than the pictures. Under the water, there is a little problem. Colours. As descending in water, we start losing colours. At about 5 metre, Red disappears, then Orange around 10 metre. Yellow at 20 metre and Green about 30 metre. There are a few good & easy software that we can adjust the colour on computer. For me, it is not easy...I can do well for still pictures but video is something I am not familiar with.. Paralenz  DiveCamera+ is perfect for someone like me!! It ha...

Hollis - No Limit - Strength & Comfort for Drysuits

Hollis BTR-500 Drysuits Scuba diving...adventure in the Water World. Some of us may only dive in tropical warm water with wetsuits, but some of us are hard-core diver enough to enjoy cold water diving with drysuits. 4C degree water temperature may sound very cold, but if you are equipped & prepared for it, cold water diving can be quite fun. In UK, usually water is clearer in winter. It can be much better diving than in summer, in fact. Drysuits will become crucial for cold water diving. Let me introduce some Hollis Drysuits here. Hollis Drysuits in UK, unfortunately, did not have great start. Quality of the suits was not quite there and many suits had leaks after a few dives. Customer service was very poor just because of their internal problems. UK distributor and Hollis main office did not have good communication and relationship for years...That was such a shame for Hollis products were known as superior Technical Diving equipment in the rest of the world. AUG450 Undersuits For...

Being Good Diver is not about Certificate. Let's Go Diving!

All divers start from the basic diving certification called Open 1st Scuba Dive Lesson. All starts from here! Water Scuba Diver (SDI) or Open Water Diver (PADI) or equivalent. This certificate let you go scuba diving all over the world to the maximum depth 18m. Many divers stay with this level, enjoying beautiful coral reef and marine creatures, etc. Colours still stay well above 18m, so most dives will be nice and relaxing.  What's the next level? Advanced Adventure Diver (SDI) or Advanced Open Water Diver (PADI) or equivalent certificate will let you go diving maximum 30m deep, giving you more chance to go scuba diving. It won't be colourful like shallow diving but when there are ship wrecks at that depth or something else to see, you will not miss the opportunity. Then you may add Enriched Air Diver and Deep Diver certificate so that you can maximise your opportunity to dive more unto 40m deep. Let's Go Diving! Now, will you be a good diver if...
