<br /> THE CUTTING<br /> EDGE ISSUE<br /> Knives and cutters reviewed in Kitted-up<br /> The team taking out Britain's ghost nets<br /> Monty Halls and the hooked manta ray<br /> Issue 93 August 2019 £4.50<br /> UNDERWATER<br /> FLIGHTPLAN<br /> Puffins of the Farnes<br /> ON TEST<br /> The amazing<br /> Shearwater Teric<br /> Tried and tested<br /> <br /> Welcome<br /> Every couple of years, I buy a new line cutter. I don't know where the old ones go – there's<br /> probably a box of them somewhere with all my lost screwdrivers, biros and odd socks. I'll keep<br /> buying them, though, because when the time comes to help myself or a buddy, I want to have a<br /> shiny, sharp cutting tool at my disposal.<br /> This edition of SCUBA has a running theme of diving hazards, how to get out of them, and<br /> what happens to fishing gear left in the water. Our big equipment feature is an educational<br /> piece by Neil Hope about the latest cutting tools<a title="iSCUBA_93_August 2019 page 1" href="https://secure.viewer.zmags.com/publication/c5ded13d?page=1"> THE CUTTING EDGE ISSUE Knives and cutters reviewe</a> <a title="iSCUBA_93_August 2019 page 2" href="https://secure.viewer.zmags.com/publication/c5ded13d?page=2"> </a> <a title="iSCUBA_93_August 2019 page 3" href="https://secure.viewer.zmags.com/publication/c5ded13d?page=3"> Welcome Every couple of years, I buy a new line c</a> <a title="iSCUBA_93_August 2019 page 4" href="https://secure.viewer.zmags.com/publication/c5ded13d?page=4"> 12 Who lives in Bigbury Bay?
