      @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?

          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? 🤔

                    Going to Roatan in a month and a half. My son will get certified there while I do some dives, and we'll dive together the last couple of days. Should be fun. Lots of planning beforehand as he needs a full set of gear.

                          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?

                              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).

                                  Thank you. I will do a chargeback if I have to. But Amex won't let me do that until 14 days after my first bitchomail

                                      But surprisingly your story came just in time so I could warn a friend who was just in the morning sending me page to that web shop saying he is going to order from them. I showed him your post. One more saved.

                                      @goosehd your assessment of their support capability is exactly on point.

                                          Bridge Rd, Swanwick,, 256 , Southampton

                                          Go with someone local that will support you when there is time for a maintanance, etc
