Northern Diver Divemaster Dry Suit

Advantages: Easy to read and understand, good reviews on dive kit. Can get an idea of how much items can cost
Disadvantages: Makes you wish you were diving!

...on the ease and type of dive sites, type of accommodation you can stay in and the type of marine life you can expect to see. There is usually a feature on a wreck from anywhere in the UK or the rest of the world with a detailed picture of the wreck itself. The article gives a detailed history of the wreck , where it is located, what type of qualification a diver needs to dive the wreck, accommodation, dive schools nearby etc. There are reviews on many different types of dive kit in Kit Q&A which is really useful when you first learn to dive because scuba diving clothing /equipment is quite expensive and different things suit different people according to the person using the kit and the type of diving that the person is going to be doing e.g.: warm or cold water, and weight of equipment itself if you are diving abroad dive kit soon eats into...

Disadvantages: all about diving, cost

The magazine is issued on a monthly basis and retails at £3.80 and whilst it is unlikely that your local corner shop newsagent will stock it amongst the copies of Hello and Readers Wives you should be able to find it in the larger outlets of WH Smith and also most dive shops carry a few copies. The best was to secure a copy... Read review
