Scuba Diving in Manchester

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...

Triple Layer Mask for Charity Donation It has been over a month since COVID19 lockdown started. I hope everyone is keeping yourselves safe. This is such a challenging moment for us all.  Washing hands more frequently and keeping social distance is the very basic standard to avoid spreading this virus. Facemask is not perfect; however, it does give you additional protection. Researchers in University of Cambridge published their comments in April regarding the mask. "Even if masks are only 20% effective at reducing transmission, previous models for an influenza pandemic suggested that substantial numbers of cases may still be prevented."   If better than nothing, why not using it? Because WHO does not believe in the ability of the public. They don't believe people can understand how to use face masks safely. Why giving up before educating? Why passing wrong information as "non effective" instead? Here is an interesting article about this argument. http...

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...

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...

When we go diving, or any other outdoor sports, one of the "must have" item is Sunscreen. Unfortunately, UV ray is getting stronger because of the global climate change. Protecting our own skin is very important to avoid possible skin problems. As you may already know, some of the chemicals are not nature friendly. We love the Ocean and the Sea, but we also need to protect own skin, but we don't want to cause any damage to the nature, on and on. This has been a on going dilemma for divers.

  DM Club had 2 Red Sea Trip this year. February annual trip and April part2 trip. Both trips were great FUN! February trip was meant to be going to Brother Islands; however, due to the shark incidents last year, the site was still closed.   Instead, the boat took us to Salem Express, well known wreck with very sad back ground.. The accident killed hundreds of pilgrims coming back from Mecca. When diving such wreck, we must remember not to disturb the souls resting in peace...  On the trip, we had good celebrations; 300th dive for Paula, 200th dive for Gary, 50th dive for Sam, Erika & Michelle. Great achievement! Thank you to the kitchen staff for making special cakes. Everybody enjoyed it.  April Trip was for Northern Wreck and Reefs, the most popular itinerary in Red Sea. Great weather and less current. It was perfect for some of the novice divers. We had 5 divers doing their Advanced Open Water Diver course on the boat. How lucky they are to...
