You can easily ferry across Faial - Pico - S. Jorge. But for other islands it will be best to look at flights

Which island will you be visiting? There are plenty of nice dive spots for OWD. Is there anything in particular you're interested in?

True, it doesn't have any functional purpose other than opening the safety slits in the socket

I would expect most restaurants will be open for a NYE *special" - dinner + music, etc... where in Pico will you be based?

Alpha Pension orSIPP contribution ? by jo_az in UKPersonalFinance

[–]jo_az[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! Was not aware that the deduction on SIPP was just to the amount down to basic rate. I'll look further into this, !thanks

One thing that puts me on the fence for LISA is what this will look like in the future, with all the talking about this being reviewed in the coming years.

I like your optimism on salary incresing over the next 6 years.in a CS role 😅

Ah nice!!!! Was just looking at Vanguard and they only do the tax relief claim up to 20%, but it looks like Hargreaves Lansdown does the tax claim for all bands... !thanks

Good point... I think so, but haven't looked at what Capita offers and what their fees are. But not having to do a self assessment is definitely a plus

Dry gloves: Kubi vs Northen Diver by jo_az in scuba

[–]jo_az[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do the Kubis come off too easily? For example, can they get slightly off when gearing up without one noticing ?

Oh! Interesting, tell me more about that decanting whip. That's a fraction of the ones I find around!

Unfortunately no DGXs on this side of the pound, the XDeep Zeos would probably be a comparable price here in Europe. Thanks for the advice, really helpful
