North Sea Divers

If we were supposed to use horse and carts, they wouldn't have invented cars or buses

Picture
In a foreign land don't be tempted to use touristy transport.
It will cost you loads of money, even if you've "done a deal" and you still won't get where you need to go.
Trust Julian and Lincoln on this one...............

Goody Bags

Picture
Don't waste money on expensive goody bags.
Ask at your local greengrocer for some onion sacks (if Tesco hasn't made them go bust).
Alternatively stores like this sell them.
Onion sacks are cheap and they fold up really small.

Cheaper Club Fees

Picture
Many clubs offer cheaper membership for families. 
These discounts apply for as long as all parties continue to dive; but do you really want to worry about your spouse every time you go diving?
An easier solution is to get adopted by other members of your boat syndicate.......... 

Blown a Seal! (frost on your moustache joke here)

Picture
Change your own neck and wrist seals for a fraction of the price that shops charge.
When you have mastered it you can change them on site and you can become a hero by changing other peoples too.

It's easy, but start with a few wrist seals.

We buy our seals and glue here

Dry Suit Socks

Picture
Don't spend silly money on purpose made undersuit socks, go to a shop like TK Maxx or a outdoor shop and buy ski socks that contain Merino Wool. Not only are they a fraction of the price, they are more comfortable, stay warm when wet and are longer (knee length). 

Best Gloves

Picture

Neoprene gloves don't last and they are expensive.We find that the best gloves are those used in factories and on building sites. Many use kevlar so will last for ages, they keep your hands warm, and offer excellent protection from the sharp edges of shipwrecks. 

Build Your Own Lamp

Picture
Henry soon hopes to describe to us how to build your own super powerful lamp at a fraction of the price of a "proper" one.
