NEW COMBINATION
SP Heated Vest + Light For Me Light Canister

Silent Planet's innovative Heated Vest has now been paired with battery pack from Light For Me.  Divers can experience massive variation between the heat that can be generated during kitting up and waiting around on the surface and the chilly temperature endured at depth, finished off by long decompression stops where typically the lack of physical activity will draw the core temperature even lower. Uniquely, our heated vest covers the lower back, providing heat to the vital kidney area.

Includes: Heated Vest, Light For Me NiMH battery, canister, e/o cord and charger. READ MORE

SIDEMOUNT DIVING
Wings, harnesses, regulators and accessories
Sidemount diving has been around for decades in the cave diving world. Backmount technical divers are sidemounting stage bottles for greater efficiency and streamlining in the water. And divers who previously had to shy away from carrying heavy twin tanks, such as small women or divers with back problems, are now able to perform technical dives due to the ease of carrying sidemount tanks to the water and donning the tanks in-water versus on land.

DirDirect is a world-leading online dive shop run by Underwater Explorers based in Portland, Dorset, UK. Underwater Explorers is a dive centre with a striking difference. It was born out of the concept of "Hogarthian" diving, safe and streamlined equipment configuration, using the most robust products available for recreational and technical diving -- but at the same time, keeping it simple. It is based on the concept of "less is more" in diving and acts as an equipment outlet, training facility and source of sound advice.

Thank you for the excelent service and reasonable prices! I will highly recommend your store to my friends.
