All products listed in today's show can be found in the *description* . So what scuba gear do you use when travelling? Let us know below.

Travelling fins - Scubapro Go Sport fins for sure. Similar to the Aqualung Storm fins but just a lot better! Would happily use them in UK waters too, they provide a lot of power.

I've been diving the Cressi Scorpion since it came out and it's a fabulous BCD for home or for travelling - tough as nails but very lightweight . An all round brilliant BCD. I'm off to Egypt in March so will, hopefully, have the chance to try out my Apeks VX1 uv while I'm out there. For travelling fins, it's got to be Aqualung Shots, very light but powerful fins. And, because I'm a wuss and the Red Sea winds can be chilly, a 5mm full wetsuit.

What about Scubapro? I have not seen you mention them in any videos in a long time?

I like my Rogue BCD and have taken it on several warm water trips. Thermal protection can be hard to judge, so I recommend bringing layers, like a thin .5 or 1mm hooded vest or shirt and tech shorts, in addition to the wetsuit.

I'd like to see a review of some thin thermal layers and even body suits, which many local dive guides wear in warm water diving.

I liked my XDeep Ghost for Travelling but i have a AquaLung Axiom now most of the time because i work as an Instructor in Maldives now. There i like a normal styled BCD for teaching.
Reg i have a Aqua Lung Legend wich i really love…

To dive in warm water when I need protection against scratches but not against cold. I sometimes dived wearing a boilersuit. Otherwise I often dived in swimming trunks and a teeshirt. On one holiday diving in warm water, the divemaster kept on saying that I looked cold, until (he was Flemish Belgian) I told him in his own language "Ik ben niet koud".

Is the XL4+ reg good for cold waters in Canada winter? I've seen a few forums saying it is common for it to free flow.

I wanted to buy the Xcape wetsuit earlier this year but when I asked my local AquaMaster how much it would cost, I was quote 20, 000 Thai baht😭 (around £440). I just can't justify that amount of money on a 4mm wetsuit

just get some hot water suits and laundry mat water heater on the boat lol
