Lol!!!! You have a point Gian - but look how often I have asked you and the other posters on this thread to desist from back an forth post - and where it has got me? Allegations that the board has been 'muzzled' in commercial interests is so far from the truth it is laughable. What...

I'd like the examples please. As board owner and one who has been consulted on the threads which have been closed I can categorically refute your insinuations and am frankly extremely pissed off at them. This board is not heavily moderated (we've had a few hiccups along the way) but I don't...

Rick Stanton has been awarded an MBE in the Queen’s New Year Honours list. Report from his local paper: Rick Stanton, based at Canley station, has been dubbed one of the world’s leading cave rescue experts. He made his name rescuing the soldiers who got trapped by rising floodwater in a...

Inspire me. We're off to Dom Rep in a few days and Grenada in May but have the rest of the year to plan. Caves or ocean. I wouldn't say I'm bored with Florida or Mexico but have been to both so many times I'm looking for a change. Malta is not on my list and I'm too concerned about...

I quite agree Igor. Eliminating gas switches is a huge benefit of CCR (which I'm still not sure outweighs the risks on some dives). The way we have our unit set up requires fewer gas switches than our RB80 did (which could be more than OC on any individual dive). I would not seek...

*grins*. Which is why we have ours set up with one. I agree in the MAV but wanted to point out that "never" is a relative term ;) Happy new year all.

What if it were a cave dive? Having the ability to switch dil (or plug in off board) is crucial to some dive plans. If you think I want to use 85 meter gas I've needed on the way to a protracted 6 meter swim at max penetration whilst still a good three hours in you're having a laugh...

Ello mate. Good to see you here.

I give up. I tried. Given that no one has anything to add... Thread closed.

Enough please. He said, she said, he said, I said. I don't want to lock this thread in case there is anything NEW to add but it is getting to the state where I am getting as many complaints as new posts. Take voluntary time out gentlemen. Remember there is more to life than diving or...

Well something to lighten the mood would be good. Personally I'd prefer But I realise I'd be in a minority. :)

Do you all really still have some point which needs making here or are you all wielding pointy sticks?

Welcome :)

I can't comment on specifics - but thanks for taking the time. When you are happy we'll shove it in the article.

Guys. I find the best thing to do with threads I know are full of posts I have lost interest in is ignore it and look at the next thread on the new threads list. Using that tactic I have managed to ignore works of Warcraft and APOC threads on several boards ;) If people wish to continue to...

NickB has agreed to help out here. Mostly you guys and girls are very well behaved here but having another pair of hands helps all of us maintain a readable board. As you'll know we have striven (and mostly succeeded) in light touch moderation and that will continue. Welcome Nick. Do me a...

Gentlemen. I'm getting reports that this thread is getting a little heated. Help me by remembering it is the season of goodwill.

Hi Matt. Good to see you here.

On the first day if Christmas My true love gave to me A new, and CE marked RB (over to you)

First Christmas in a whole we didn't buy dive gear (we hit apple very hard instead). So what was on your diving wish list/treated yourself to in this festive season.
