Hey All,

I just recently started diving mainly in PPB. Just wanted to get some feedback on a couple of newbie questions.

- I have a car keyless remote unfortunately it's not waterproof. Is there a solution to taking this with you when you dive?

- How do you improve your breath holding? I've watched clips, shows where guys are under the water for a few minutes while moving around. I can't even hold my breath for more than a minute out of water.

Cheers

Chuck

These are great: http://peninsulakiteboarding.com.au/pro ... -lock-box/

Practise. Make sure you go with a dive buddy though before pushing yourself.

The more experienced will have more info for you.

I carry the non electronic boot key around my neck and lock the electronic one in the boot.

Like Andrewv I carry a non-electronic key that i had cut with me and lock my keys in the car. The non-chipped key will open your boot or doors but shouldn't be used to start your car.

I usually wait till nobody is looking and stuff my key under my car somewhere. or the nearest bush!
I have a Waterproof Lock case but I'm more scared taking that in the water and losing my key that way.
