✅ Videos for the most common questions I get asked:

✅ In these videos I'm going to show viewers how to choose and use the right kind of Scuba Diving Kit for the type of Suba Diving they want to do. How to be more efficient and proficient with it to make them a more confident and safer Scuba Diver.

✅ I’ll draw on the experiences with and training gained from some of the world class Scuba Diving Instructors such as Steve Kirkman (SDI/TDI), Garry Dallas (RAID), Dominic Robinson (BSAC), Ginge Crook (BSAC), Maria Harwood (BSAC), Nick and Caroline Robertson-Brown (FrogFish Photography) and Mark Paisey (BSAC).

✅ In my first year of diving I’d wasted a lot of money on kit and equipment that didn't really work for me and the type of diving I wanted to do. It is my hope that these videos will help you spend your money more wisely on kit that will work well for you and your dive buddy and also be future proof for bigger, deeper and longer dives.

✅ Looking the part is often half the battle to feeling confident, if your gear is configured right then you can access it easily and you will also be more efficient at moving under water. I’ll show viewers what I have learned since I started diving and been fortunate to have some fantastic world class instruction.

If you like it buy it and if you don’t like it sell it is the best advice I’ve heard on any topic on YouTube ever. I’m def the envy of all my mates now thanks Andy 🙏🏼

Hey Andy - I realise this video is very old but I have to ask... What is going on with the sides of your waist-strap on your single Halcyon rig? Some sort of loop thing, or unconventional routing yeah :)

Hi Andy . I’m a new diver and am doing a BSAC sports diver crossover. I like the Hogarthian set up, and am looking at additional training . Can you recommend any training courses or agencies, that teach the long hose, primary donate utilising bp&w? Thanks

Good video 👌😊 I got the scubapro seahawk because it inflates just on the back for good buoyancy plus as pockets on the side like a jacket. Pretty light for the plane ✈

Hi Andy, curious as to where you sourced that block of lead? in your vid., min. 5:05.
Also, does any type of lead matter? do you seal it off with other binding materials? (eco-friendly purposes, or do you think it's just marketing?)
