"The Diver’s Tale is an unvarnished account of real British diving, based on the author’s 40+ year experience. Britain is an island nation so, unsurprisingly, scuba diving is a popular British pastime enjoyed by some 50,000 keen participants and just as many of the armchair variety. A carefully-structured programme of training ensures that the British diver is well-prepared for the challenging conditions which may be encountered beneath our seas. Or does it? How many trainee divers were taught about the perils of high-speed testicular trauma during descent? Or the dangers of having sex in a tent with a deaf person? Why bacon should be in your first aid kit. How to build a space shuttle using salvaged ammunition? Or why the name Valerie is so very special?
During a 40 year plus odyssey through the strange and exotic world of British diving, Nick Lyon and his disparate collection of buddies have answered all these questions from personal experience, and many more besides. It may not be pretty, it may not be painless but to those in the know, it’s real British diving. From ill-fitting homemade wetsuits to technical closed-circuit rebreather diving, this book is an insight into the ‘glamour’ and history of scuba diving in the UK by a man who has done it all.
The Diver’s Tale is not a diving manual — quite the opposite. How not to do it, why not to do it, when not to do it and who not to do it with. Amusing, frequently embarrassing, often unpleasant and occasionally tragic, the book plunges into the world of the real British diver!
Now re-edited and brought back up to date, with a new chapter and a Foreword by Andy Torbet."

Great company, fast email communication, and very quick delivery.
I was looking for a new wetsuit and found these guys online. They had the wetsuit I was after and there was a link to an interactive sizing guide to help me identify the right size. After ordering I received an email checking I had used the chart to make sure I was aware and avoid getting the wrong one. Wetsuit arrived a few days later. Cannot ask for more.
Small order, but never the less a very positive experience. My replacement fins straps were not delivered (Christmas time order) when I chased this with Russell, his email reply was instant and positive. A new order was dispatched and received a few days later. Highly recommended
