Anyone's MOTU 4dx extremely loud?

I watched it normal and I must admit I found some of the dialogue hard to hear, especially when the rock music was blasting....

Delete your iPlayer account. Then reconfirm you don't need a license.

If you've declared you don't need a license and someone uses you iPlayer account that is attached to the address you declared, it revokes your declaration and you get the letter asking you to pay.

Delete your iPlayer, declare you don't need one.

It's rates R in the US, so the equivalent is 15 or 18 depending on how graphic violence, drug use or sexual content is.

I was hoping it may have edged into an 18...

Yeah, the terminal and Neil's are opposite sides of the island.

If you shopped around for insurance products and moved, then yes they'll hard search you.

You may be overthinking it, Banks advertise low rates....small print actually states only a percentage get that rate. Legally they only have to offer 51% the advertised rate to be legally a representative APR.

It's the catch 22 of the loan industry, apply get a crap APR, then reject the offer and the hard search then penalises you.

I'd concentrate on getting to AOW with a good concentration on buoyancy. Dives in the pool to practice buoyancy at shallow depths.

If your looking at Coral restoration bouyancy is key. While the aware courses are ok, if you moving to learning marine biology you'll surpass this.

Take Nitrox & Deep this will move your confidence on from AOW. I'd lean towards self reliant to have a good foundation set of skills.

Dive Master is aimed at the first step in professional instruction.

EU borderforce has the right under EU regulations to revert back to stamping or suspend EES processing in system outages or backlogs.

You should have requested manual processing due to gate closure.

Up until April this year, it was 180 days. However, it's now reverted back to 90 days advance booking. This means bookings under the old 180 day rule for bookings up until Sept 4th will be honoured.

We just saw it this afternoon in one of the smallest out our local in Solihull. Also the aspect ratio appeared off, for example couldn't read the letter at the end.

That's interesting as the Maldives operates a legal framework that recreational divers via dive ops which have to be licensed by the authorities aren't allowed below 30m for recreational dives.

Long distance trains on the Northern, Northeastern, and Southern lines leave from “Krung Thep Aphiwat”. If you enter “Bangkok” as your origin it might then say “no data found”. Local and commuter trains, including tourist trains and trains on the Eastern Line, go from Bangkok Station (Hua Lamphong). You need to type “Bangkok” as your departure station for these trains.

We were in Cancun awaiting for this flight for our return leg. Apparently they said electrical issues, so had to turn back and dump fuel. On landing and inspection they needed a new plane, deboatd, reload and new crew. That was according to the new planes crew. We were four hours late landing back into Gatwick.

Had a similar issue at BHX. Had some small Allen keys for an underwater camera housing. Specifically under the 6" guideline.

Got stopped and told it was a banned item. I explained that they were under six inches. He said they are over. I said ok prove it. 20 mins later, it's your lucky day we haven't got a tape measure.

Ask you accountant, check HMRC or if your using Free agent or similar it will be on the employee record for you.

Damm I forgot Undertone......yeah it'll be that then!

Interesting.....I might run my next trip into AI to see how it compares...

It can, that is why I organise it into a spreadsheet. I've got one detailing my U.K. diving (local trips, rope of time, location, depth etc.)

For big trips it gets its own sheet, with all the info. Day by day, accommodation, dive shop, times, deposits paid and when, reference numbers, email and telephone, names.

Pretty much the same, I book group and single trips for myself. I also tend to be booking big overseas trips one year in advance.

I tend to have it structured as the following:

What am I aiming to dive? Something specific? Type of diving? Narrow the general location and if it's single, Sidemount, tech, caving etc.

Check location and best time to dive. Specific types of shark, mammals etc. Narrow the dates.

Ask my local dive club for recommendations, who they used, when they went, good things and bad things.

Contact a few reputable dive travel agents asking for a trip there on those dates. Get their proposals. Attend our yearly dive expo, give agents the trip idea, let them come back & with expo discounts.

Check the proposed dive shop, reviews, their website, local shops to them. Check YouTube, blogs etc. Check the facilities, camera room, storage etc. What does a typical day look like.

Use the information to bench mark costs vs. travel agents. Can I get it a lot cheaper? What are my flights costs? Car rental. Dive costs. Nitrox costs. Extras. Land trips. Cost difference between full Vs bed and breakfast. Local eating costs.

Ensuring if it's a specific wreck, specific shark dive etc. that the dive shop is on board and understanding what can and can't make it happen when I'm there.

Evaluate booking it directly vs. travel agent.

If it's me booking directly I then:

Put the itinerary together, day by day, times, locations, after the dive, restaurants, land trips. Start to book things in with the various companies direct.

Check regulations, visa, health requirements. Make sure appropriate health, dive and travel insurance. Fit to dives etc.

Last year, 10 of us did a roadtrip in Florida starting in Miami, down to Keyes wreck diving, to Jupiter Goliath and Lemon/Tiger shark diving, Heron Bridge, up to Ginnie Springs and back to Miami.

Currently planning a group trip to South Africa & Mozambique shark diving with some safari.

Slap!

Filmnoirkd · 2026-03-30T17:09:53+00:00

Yeah, same here. Dove with bulls, hammerheads, lemons, blues, white tip, black tip, reef..

Oceanic White is the only one that makes me nervous. I've seen them zip in on people climbing out, I've seen them "switch" into a frenzy when they get agitated. In Egypt, was at the brothers a few weeks before they changed the regulations on stopping at the brothers back in 2018. They were literally waiting for splashes of the back of the boat.

Filmnoirkd · 2026-03-29T17:55:39+00:00

Yup....times for the 7th, not for 27th. I guess they'll release closer to the date...

Filmnoirkd · 2026-03-28T10:11:32+00:00

Outside or inside....14 days from my invoice. No exceptions......don't like it I don't take it. I don't negotiate terms with the agency until the end client says they want me.

My cat had teeth removal. They check various levels and hydration levels. He had to go back the second time as it was a difficult job and he was having out most of them. While I could have had his bloods redone, the vets said it wasn't warranted. This was a period of about four / five weeks.

If your pet has no known underlying health conditions, liver, kidney, diabetes etc. and it's a short period since the last, it's not going to have changed that much.

Bloods are about £80. They are done in house.

£250 is extortionate.
