well, back from my dive trip (Truk Lagoon). we spent around 30 hours underwater over the 2 weeks. deepest was 65m and longest dive was 140minutes.
just a pity the food was crap (everything is imported from A merica)

some awesome dives, lots of penetration, lots of deco. so many wrecks there, we barely scratched the surface!

haven't setup the awning yet, as the RTT gets in the way.

the RTT is great, but as the last outing showed, they're not great for wheeling. really need to get the jack-off canopy sorted out

thats for the guys who call me "Bear Grylls" :)

as for lights, I have a VisionX 11" LED Light Bar (5160 Lm) to install, but I am also considering something to connect to the SR5 fog light harness.
