Fantastic day at Wrayspuddle today!! YD'ers galore!!!
Helen and I arrived at Wraysbury bright and early at 1100 with the mission of getting comfortable in the water again. Me after my previous excitement, and Her after a lay off from diving for about 16 months.
Plan for the day was just to get in the water and practice buoyancy stuff for Helen and for me to get relaxed.
Mission was accomplished! Helen was FANTASTIC!!! After 30 minutes on top of one of the containers at about 7m. Practicing nice flat trim, finning up and down the box with no contact, ascending a metre at a time. Helen was great!
2nd dive she did fantastically and after a few minutes with Sixsquid and Annatrnr playing on top of the container we all went on a mission to the bus. Circled it... in oneside and out the other.... Swim the length inside... The up we went, 5m ascent in free water with Helen, stopping every meter.
I was really impressed with her and we've just celebrated her return to diving with Chinese and a lovely bottle of wine I prechilled in the hope it would go well!!
Whilst sunning ourself throughout the day saw LOADS of YD'ers!
Sixsquid, Annatrnr, Venus, Nomis, Esprit Diver, Puddle dude, Juz (thanks for the beer!
), Digger, Rob Dobson, Fin, Ferrets... Ummm.... Sorry if I miss anyone out!
Great day!!
I look forward to next week
