Hello Gabriele,

When are you coming over? And where in Belgium will you be situated?

Phi,

This is really not nice of you. Belgium is a paradise for divers. It's so great I always drive to The Netherlands to dive

Not that The Netherlands are that much better; Zeeland has some nice spots, everything else is even worse than here: especially the beer.

I absolutely hate to dive in Zeeland for the simple fact that they have the best-looking lobsters in the world there u/w, but if you are caught with one, everything from the diving gear to the car taking you to the site will be confiscated...

It is a long way to walk back to Belgium...

Plus I had a permanent h@rd-@n the entire time I dived there looksing all those juicy lobsters, and it was very uncomfortable with the P-valve...

And I don't care how many people will disagree with me, but the Belgian beers are the GREATEST...

(based on limited experience of only tasted over 300 different Belgian beers in 4 years of living there)

I know of a guy who was always lugging big doubles around, and he used a HUGE quantity of air. We found out a couple of months later that his left cylinder was a fake - he cut away the bottom, stuffed lobsters in and used the cylinder boot as a cover

He did get caught though... probably had a snitch in his diving club.

We do take lobsters (and other tasty things) on the North Sea - problem is that I reserve every year 10 to 15 trips, and my chosen trips nearly always get cancelled due to bad weather...

Well, the dive site with the best visibility in Belgium. for sure...

never been there either and probably will not go there since they don't allow Rebreather divers anymore.
