      @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.

        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 🙂

                  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...
