Below High Water

Taking a deeper look at life beyond the beach. I’ve worked and played on the water as a diver, sailor, submariner and oceanography engineer.

Here I share some of my stories, photos, videos and experiences in the Big Briny Blue.

Breathing a bit more life in to my dive kit.

It stuff is well made, looked after and has accessible spare parts then it’ll last. I bought this EOS torch in 2015. It’s racked up a few hundred dives with me since. A new battery a few years ago kept it going.
Today was a new switch slide (thank you for sticking) plus an inspection and clean of the o-rings.

Torch tech has come far in a devade. This doesn’t quite cut it as a primary light for UK night dives but is great as back-up or on its own for murky day dives.
