A cracking trip with excellent company.
Many thanks to Helen for organising the trip and to Brian D for budding up with me, great dives.
Only hiccup for me was the twinge I got on ascent\deco, sore left shoulder which I did not notice prior to the second dive. Ohh! bollocks moment on ascent.. Completed all our stops and deco obligations and padded in time at 6 and 3 meters.
Neil (Clutha crew) noticed my discomfort when assisting up the ladder and enquired to the problem. Advised I had a bit of pain.
Neil assisted with dekitting and escorted me to the bridge where Elaine (the skipper) completed neuro and other tests. Passed all.
Put me on O2 and copious amounts of water and soup to see if the pain would go away, which it did not.
Emptied the 3l O2 and completed a few more tests, passed okay.
Felt like a right numpty sitting on the kitting up bench sucking the O2.
Met at dock side by Drew (hyperbaric medic) who went through my dive profiles and completed more tests. Passed all again and we agreed to a muscle pull but advised to seek medical assistance if any problems occurred.
My most sincere thanks to the crew of The Clutha - Elaine, Neill and also Drew. Excellent crew with and outstanding dive boat and more importantly customer service and diver safety - First class.
Ohh aye and the diving was excellent also.
Four dives on 4 nice wrecks: Beagle, Akka, Kintyre and Wallachia.
A pleaseure meeing and putting faces to YD'ers hope we can all meet up again and dive together soon.
Best Regards to all.
Gary.
