Scuba anyone?

I did think about installing plastic beads about 12mm in diameter, locked between two knots instead of just the knot. But felt that the small knots would be OK, even if I have to wrap the cord around my hand. and the beads would increase the chances of getting tangles as I deployed....

@Giles Thanks! Good and balanced opinion. The tangle worry is always real. My fucking hook was out and about few times to many this last trip...
But that's why Im thinking about thicker paracord. I have a feeling the thicker it is the harder it is to tangle. But I was not testing this theory in practice.
What do You think?Favorite:

XDeep Ghost with 4 small trim weight pockets,
Bought.
And what about @Madame-Buttonfly ?
-
She is not 100% sure exactly what she wants/needs, size wise and weight pocket wise. So I have ordered an L Ghost for me, with 4 small back mounted trim weight pockets and 2 small ditchable waist belt weight belt pockets.
I wont use the waist belt pockets, but she will. I want to get her to understand (she has issues visualising shit), how they and the back mounted pockets will work.
Once I have shown her how it all fits together, and she has worked out where her gear will attach, we will order her the wing and any other bits she needs.
I have one of these already. So I can stow my DSMB and reef hook (and other shit, if I feel the need) in that.

My fucking hook used to fall out of the pouch it came with and hook onto shit randomly. Which is why I now stow it in the XDeep cargo pouch (see above)

@Karol - sounds like a great trip, good to get the hook out when travelling
@Giles - did that excuse ever work?

Well, I will just put it out there - I opened the diving season in Stockholm. The water temperature was 4 degrees Celsius at 3m and 3 Celsius below. That 3 was the coldest I ever experienced. We did 2 dives and when returning to the shore after the second one I was intensely thinking if it is possible to lose fingertips if it's still above 0 Celsius. Ahh and there was a hailstorm between the dives.
Ahh my beautiful Raja Ampat, where are you now? -

@Giles WTF?!
Driving me wild. I placed 2 orders with DIVEINN. I have had no email comms from them, but both orders were showing in my account with them. The smaller of the 2 orders was delivered, then both orders disappeared from my account. I have been trying to explain that to them for the last week or so, I have been asked multiple times what my order numbers are, I don't fucking know, I have no emails and the orders are no longer in my account. Have you tried asking Royal Mail? How the fuck would they know why my orders are not showing in my account on your website? etc etc etc
This morning I was told that I mast have ordered them from a different email address. NO I FUCKING DID NOT.........

@Giles time to threaten with a chargeback? I was just reading the reviews and it seems like their lower tier customer service is handled by bots/automated shite…maybe the threat will get you sorted to the appropriate level of support. Hate doing that kind of stuff, but when there isn’t a way to pick up the phone and talk things through. (From Canada it looks like you can only use live chat or email).
