    @pechelman so many great warm waters around the world but the Red Sea has so much animal action.
    @T4920 Going OWD in Thailand is cool idea, but You will forever remember the first time in Red Sea.

      @Karol

      2mm

      I normally dive in the tropics with this combo:

      And then this on top......

      But sometimes I'll just wear the long johns, and sometimes just the jumper. I was wearing both yesterday and the jumper took the hit....

        @Giles nice set! Good to know that even 2mm can make a difference. Stay safe on and under the water @Giles !

            @Giles I’ve seen guys on the Rolex forum question if they should swim with their submariners…but I see the Blancpain is up to the job 🙂

              It's a diver..........In fact, the first modern diver......😁😁😁

              Unfortunately, I just found this......

              Luckily it is well out of reach.......

                Getting ready to jump.

                Gull (a Japanese scuba and snorkelling brand) Emden floating fins. I use these when I am on top reefs looking for small critters, they help me keep a more horizontal aspect in the water, and thus cause less damage to the reef.....

                            Planning a scuba trip in Puerto Galera, Philippines this April. Was looking at Raja Ampat in Indonesia or Tubbataha in the Philippines but decided to do that another time. Puerto Galera is a 20h flight, plus drive, plus ferry, plus trike, but it's still much easier than those other two locations...

                              Some of my favourite dives were in the Philippines, @JDelage. Saw thresher sharks off Malapascua and this blue-ringed octopus in Dauin…. Have fun! 👍

                                  Such amazing times completing my PADI Open Water course on Koh Lanta, Thailand.

                                  The caves and swim-throughs were a highlight, and everything I thought was going to scare me on land was just so serene and beautiful underwater...
