We used to have a guest from Singapore at the resort I managed in Lembeh who always used what he called a tropical dry suit. Very tempting in the chillier months there. As for that “builds character” thing, I suspect that’s a hang over from the days of homes not having heating or running hot water! No prizes for being cold 😝

Dry suit? Ha ha ha…. yeah, sold that. If it’s not 28+degrees you won’t find me there 😝Definitely feel the cold in these, errr, later years. Very tempted to add a heated vest to my gear.

It’s ok. Once you hit the Big Seven Zero you realise you don’t need so much kit….. housing, two lenses, two ports, two strobes and a snoot. And you’re done 😝

Yep, it is slightly confusing but I understand the dissertation is about divers who are 50+ and not necessarily those who started after 50. But then being a couple of decades beyond that, I could be confused too….. 🙄

On a recent dive trip I met someone who is writing a dissertation on people who are 50+ and diving. If you are interested in contributing, the following is a link to a simple questionnaire which takes about 5 minutes to complete. I've become paranoid about online scams, phishing etc. But this looks fine and I know the author - and the information gathered is pretty innocuous. https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=e3VPRDDLUkaTvMqNbR74E5Cna1DJ6d1KvM2oRz5_gAdUM0Y3UEpYTkZERDJON09aNENVSEs2V1ZOMS4u -
No problems for me. Phew.

I’ve been using HSS (on Retra) for some years and really like the feature. I’ve found it pretty much the only way to go for shooting into the sun for WA shots. Being able to shoot at say 1/2000’is really helpful.
