This week, one of the big London dive stores has closed, a liveaboard has run aground in rapidly sinking tides, a handful of commercial divers have received police cautions for falsifying records and a baby shark was rescued from an entanglement with a glove.

#askmark OM Systems is the new owner of the Olympus camera business. The TG-6 is a good camera; however, it’s a bit dated with its sensor and software. TG7 announced, which is basically the same camera, so no point in upgrading. Sad. Other piece of new gear check out the DJI Action Cam 4 which has depth color correction and 4k/120fps. I love it, got rid of my gopro, but still shooting a tg-6 for stills.
Ah, that makes sense. I don’t follow Olympus, I mainly use Sony cameras
Very sorry to hear that… I bought my BCD, Rush-guard, APEKS Regulator and many other accessories from OL. Couple of days ago I visited the web site and saw the announcement… so sad…
Probaly couldn’t compete with Mike’s dive store?
#ASK MARK Quick question Mark. Heading towards purchasing a full backplate and wing to carry twin EAN-Nitrox tanks and ask if you believe there’s merit in using a ‘V’ weight bar between tanks? I believe they vary in weight from 1kg to 5kgs. Your thoughts would be appreciated.🤿👍
Hi Mark. It’s sad when the news of dive centres and/or retailers are either forced into or agree that it’s best to close the front doors for good, no matter where you are globally 😢 Tried to get my head around the liveaboard running aground on rocks in North Scotland and kept returning to the question of sonar and if fitted, how did they miss what I would presume to be ‘charted’ rocks. Big shout out to everyone who helped in the rescue process and everyone who helped to get her afloat again😄👍🤿
Damn. Been visiting Ocean Leisure for more than 30 years!
