  1. You load money onto an account there, at the end of the day i would make sure your account reads zero. On the last day i was there they tried to tell me that i had been on a load that morning, which i hadnt and wanted to charge me for it. Sometimes their manifest system may not be 100% accurate.
  2. My only tip is to check your account each night, enjoy the views of of the back of the MI8 though

    We went for team training, and can not fault the ablity to get on a load or the size of the landing area, the only small problems were with the manifest and office when it came to visa's. top tip, keep a track of yor account while your there.
  4. it will have to be a lot of 50p's - but never say never

  7. I saw him a couple of weeks ago here in the UK, he was on tour, really good show, all that was missing was free beer. Best song though has to be ‘do you fuck on first dates?’

    Apparently son of a gun comes from the world of sea faring, when sailors were sailors! It referred to ‘ladies’ who would come aboard a ship when it was in harbour, as the sailors were not allowed to leave, then sailors would do with the ‘ladies’ what sailors and ‘ladies’ do (for££$$$), but seeing as there were no beds or no real privacy, they would entertain themselves on the guns and gun decks of the ships. The offspring was therefore a “son of a gun”.
  11. I’m a PADI instructor here in the UK, I have been diving for a couple of years, I only teach friends really or help out at a dive shop every now and again. The question of which is more dangerous, part of me thinks SCUBA, because you are putting your self in an enjoinment that you are unable to survive in with out the aid of equipment, I have seen some bad things happen under water and had to stop some situations from getting out of hand, I have also had to stop myself from helping a buddy too or else we would have both been put at risk (she was helped by someone more experienced than me, we were on a 55m dive and I was only on air). SCUBA is relaxing, when done at a recreational level (not technical), skydiving is a challenge. I seem to remember reading the reported incident rates from both sports being of a similar level, but then it depends on what you read when. Both are good sports and compliment each other
  12. John thanks for the info, I have tried pulling down on the risers myself, but I can not seem to grip them as I'm still flying quite a large canopy, the other prob is when I have tried to contact the manufacture in the past about something else they didn't reply, I don't hold out much hope for getting any info from them on this. we will see though cheers James
