        5 kg today, but I dived with zero air in the BCD, I came out with the tank half full, so will add 1kg to give me some leeway for the end of a proper dive

          @Giles sweet, better to be on the safe side! I hope that the winds are not as much as what I had 2 weeks ago.

                    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....

                            Not my pic, I don't dive with a camera.....

                              @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:
