I believe that some of you use Sit-on-tops for your diving. If you have used a Sit-on-Top, I wondered whether you would be willing to spend a couple of minutes completing an on-line survey about the use of Sit-on-tops which I am carrying out as part of my final year research project at Uni.

The survey can be found at

Thank you in anticipation.

We have 2 seater inflatable kayaks

Excellent fun !!:D :D :D

Easy to get on from the water as they don't capsize.

Good load Carrier.

Lets you get to those sites that are a bit to far for a surface swim and not far enough o warrant a boat.

And make good SMBīs:)

Me and my mate use them. They have their uses - if you fancy doing a bit of inshore exploration, they give you a lot of options. You use a little anchor while you're kitting up. Then swim down the anchor line, pick up the anchor and set off using the kayak as your SMB. If it's a nice day, and you're not in a rush, it's brilliant fun.

(I'm about to do your questionnaire thingy.)
