Spongey,
It is a small world, i was diving at stoney cove and bumped into a few commie divers from Northern Divers, you couldn't help but notice them as there vans are well advertised with a 10ft commie diver plastered on the side... Lol. They where really quite helpful guys and gave some good advice....
Stew, point taken mate and judging buy what you've said i think my initial assesment was probably right.
Any/all advice is good and greatfully received, so keep it coming

.....
Dive safe...
Phil
