Compass!! Surely all you do is go down the shot line, swim around for a
while then bag off and come up again. All this navigation stuff just
complicates things.

Learnt to navigate using an orienteering compass ; Learnt to dive and then
used a diving compass / HATED it (damn lubber lines) ; Bought a Uwatec digi
compass / LOVED it ( but fiddly with thick gloves) ; Spotted a tight
Yorkshireman diving @ 40m with a Silva 7nl orienteering compass.

Guess which one I use now:

Uwatec £150
Divers compass £30+
Silva 7nl £10

Over to you

well in my killfile.

Children read newsgroups too.
