      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:

          Here are a few videos I took with my iPhone15 Pro Max inside the Divevolk. Those are just processed using the iPhone's on board processing:

                      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......

                                @Giles 🤣 dry suits are so nice nowadays but jokes aside I know what you mean. I prefer it on the warm side as well.
                                On the colder side, this bloke seems to enjoy himself, and I enjoy his videos

                                        I don't dive with a camera....well I have bought an iPhone housing with me, so will give it a go tomorrow. But, some of these are some of the critters we saw today. When I say saw, I did see all of these, but frankly, could only guess at what they were until one of my dive buddies showed me her photographs. Some of these little guys are no more than 3mm across.
                                        I knew I was in for trouble when the owner of the resort asked me if I was into macro or super-macro.
