Back again

[PhilPage]

Back after a long timeout - I see many of the old handles are still active

Fired up the unit yesterday to find a knackered cell - understandable after 2 years sitting in a cupboard!

Looking forward to a proper diving season this year

Oh, were you away? We didn't notice...

Many folk lost interest and moved away. These days it's all a bit tame with few worthwhile arguments. Can't remember when I last saw the old pony cylinder discussion

Any cell over 2 years old is a knackered cell! At least replacements are more available than they were two years ago, when priority of supply was going to single-use medical applications.

Yeah, plankton is thickening and there's plenty of dive boat spaces - too many! I'm wondering how well UK diving will survive the rising fuel costs.

I noticed the other day that the current price for noddy inshore stuff is now higher than i used to pay for the long day offshore stuff….. scary prospect.

Angling is going the same way.

It's not just the boat costs which are the problem. For inland clubs the cost of getting to the sea is a major cost.

I am relatively new on here so have missed these pony cylinders debates.

I bought a pony cylinder to use on a combined nitrox course and ended up not using it on the course. It has lived for the last 20 years unloved parked in the corner never having got wet.

Sadly none of the current operators can make money at the current prices. There is a cost for everything and right now £70 a day simply isn't it - people have to live and pay mortgages. Divers are notoriously cheap and schizophrenic, balking at a £6 fill but spending £600 on a new computer without batting an eyelid. A sustainable long term fuel price is around half current levels but until half-dead idiots with messianic desires to reconstruct the USSR shuffle off the mortal coil (with or without assistance) we are all going to have to live with current levels. Shore dives anyone???
