        @Giles almost as good as Gosport in November I bet

        To be fair, i was still just in a t shirt up until I left - not when I was fishing though 😀

                Actually no. It was at Yolanda Reef in Ras Mohammed. A ship carrying containers of Ideal Standard toilets etc foundered there and ithe ocean floor is littered with them....

                  @Giles 😁 I remember it from this October, it’s the national park. The visibility was the best there of the whole week. But on first dive we had such a rollercoaster current (on the outside reef from left to right of the map). The reef hooks would be very much appropriate.
                  Looks like we had the same map 😁

                    We did not dive the Thistlegorm, but we did do the Dunraven......

                    No pics of anything because I really like to enjoy the moment when diving and don't want to be encumbered or distracted by carrying a camera.

                    That said, there were a few, maybe 5, images that I really would like t have captured this trip. So, I ordered a one of these. It will sit in a pocket in these most of the time, but when I see something exceptional, I can whip it out (cue @endo 🙂 ). I also like the idea, that I will retain the touchscreen and that the images will be immediately available on my phone, with none of the transfer dicking around, that I know I just won't be bothered to do....

                      I have one of those Gilles. It worked very well for me in the Philippines. That channel has good videos on using the Divevolk:

                                    Damn, Sent our regs in for service.

                                    Paula's 100% OK. Both my first stage and primary are pretty shot "may be able to salvage them, we'll let you know", they are awaiting parts and won't know until they arrive. Trouble is, we are off to the Phillipines in 3 weeks.

                                    So I may have to bite the bullet and replace.......

                                    And in "any other Scuba news", I have one of these to attach to the first stage when I get it back/new one
                                    arrives.

                                    I'm very persuaded that losing a hose, and a dangly octopus is a good thing......
