soon as we got through the door it was to track down Kathy n Gary on the diving daisy stand. Then most of the morning was spent oggling rebreathers and kent tooling ratchet reels.
Attended Jack Ingle's talk on Repulse in the south china seas and Innes's talk on U Boats which were both absolutely fascinating and well worth going to.
Attempted to meet up with madfish around 1330 who then phones to say she's still at home having slept in....located Principia (jason off scapa virgins trip) resisting the urge to spend money and then half a dozen familiar faces whose names escape me.
Thoroughly enjoyable day, surprised how few people were there - every other dive show i've been to has been packed with most stands 3 deep in people trying to get served but it was rather quiet on sunday.
The key result being to organise a trip of ice diving to russia next year.....
