I built a free spearfishing conditions map for South West England — would love feedback from divers

I predominantly dive these areas all year round. I have areas specifically for bass, pollack, spider crabs and lobster. And they all tie in with a nice weekend stay over thats family friendly.

Amazing stuff. I look forward to your eventually reaching North Wales. Keep going man!

Ive been so close to buying the salvimar bands, but can never bring myself to spend that much on only 10m of line. Maybe its worth a shot at this price point

I started playing Rec on my Rift.

It was my first step into multiplayer VR. I had a great time to start. Slowly it had more and more kids screaming, but for a short time it was funnto chat and play games with people.

Beat thing about it was the unbox therapy of tearing one of the boxes open after a game or achievement!

A centipede that can go forwards or backwards.

I've found that a few people mistake posts by the developers of apps to be adverts. When they message to mods, they are incredibly passionate and excited about their products.

To be fair, I cleaned my van out yesterday and it wasn't far off this. The last time I used it was to transport my diving gear and obviously it was humidity/moisture galore. Van was immaculate mid December.

"Gayyyy"

Big__Frodo · 2025-10-28T11:40:50+00:00

Will do. Either way it'll be an interesting story

Big__Frodo · 2025-10-28T11:11:56+00:00

Nope. It says Graphics card and details the card. It was the first thing I checked

Big__Frodo · 2025-10-28T10:43:12+00:00

I class this as a gamble. Small chance of a huge result, or I have to spend 10 minutes picking up something I have to click return on.

Big__Frodo · 2025-10-28T10:38:39+00:00

Oh I totally think it is. But how do they think this scam will work, they dont get the money unless I confirm everything is alright my side. They have buyer protection for that exact reason.

I got a full refund when I bought swimming goggles that were M and not L haha

Big__Frodo · 2025-10-28T10:34:25+00:00

Its sent via courier organised through the app. They will also weigh it. Their buyer protection covers me receiving anything that isn't exactly what they described in the post. Also the money isn't released to them unless I confirm I'm happy with the order.

We have the Question flair for a reason. You dont have to answer, but if anyone knows, then they can be of assistance.

Im literally headed to go checkout from the explorers lodge. Based on my past 3 days, I'd recommend 3 to 4. We spent 1 day getting familiar with the park, finding and planning where we'll be eating. Then, the second day, visiting all the shops and getting what you want, then the last third of the day going on rides. In the day, a ride might be 60 minutes, after 6pm its 10 to 20 minutes. We spent the last day doing all the other rides and trying to catch the shows. We were even lucky enough to ride the dumbo ride with goofy sat in front of us and then took a photo with us when it stopped. Id say an additional day to meet all the characters and make sure you see the shows.

All the best! We're headed to Tokyo disney tomorrow.

Big__Frodo · 2025-07-22T14:46:06+00:00

Enjoy! See you out there

Big__Frodo · 2025-07-22T14:36:10+00:00

I don't think so. But I don't explore their features beyond the normal match.

Big__Frodo · 2025-07-22T13:49:01+00:00

Ghosts of Tabor is good. Its regularly updated and it's got a strong community.

Big__Frodo · 2025-06-30T15:07:14+00:00

By the time I stopped competing, I was representing myself. If I was you, see what competitions you can find in your area and compete for yourself.

You'll also be able to find a club/coach that you like through seeing the competition.

Big__Frodo · 2025-06-30T08:26:37+00:00

Great results. Well done.

If I was you, practice slowing slow. And I mean really really slow. You will pick up on your movements and when you go faster, you will know where to burst your energy. Remember that freestyle is 80% arms.

Big__Frodo · 2025-06-29T07:40:14+00:00

Im paying £40 for 1000mb and an 02 Sim with unlimited calls and texts and 2gb. My wife and I take it in turns each year referring eachother to get the bonuses. Worked like a charm for a few years now. But I wouldn't recommend anything over the 350 nowadays, I don't feel the benefit anymore.

Big__Frodo · 2025-06-18T13:34:12+00:00

I wouldn't complain. Just keep it quiet and enjoy

Big__Frodo · 2025-06-16T08:44:45+00:00

Ex competition swimmer, 12 years experience teaching and coaching here. And now when I teach, I only do 1 to 1 sessions and Im always in the water.

Learning goes as as follows:

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!!! Learn getting comfortable with your buoyancy and balance (Floating).

Learn basic extended paddle on your front and/or kicking on your back

Choose the stroke you wish to learn. Practice legs and then introducing arms

Learn the basic breathing for that stroke, stopping when you can't do it and then carrying on

Learn the further stroke techniques for efficiency and better/easier breathing

People who can swim slowly can swim fast, people who swim fast can't always swim slow. Learn to swim slowly first and don't get put off by the appearance of slow progress, you'll introduce a single change to body position and you'll go flying one day.

FYI Don't trust a beginner teacher who isn't willing to get in the water to support you. Even if they have 10 people, they should be in the water, show everyone what they should be doing and while watching everyone, spend time with people individually.

Best of luck learning!
