DIR Stoney - A Big Thank You

[Air Guzzler]

GUE - DIR introduction.
For me the day started at OMG 4:30 and leave at 5am for the Drive down to stoney Cove. Arrived at 7:45 although the M69 J2 was closed and ive not longer have Sat Nav.

Well thats the end of my problems.

I would like to Thank Mal for the arrangements for today's introduction to GUE and also the other people i met from GUE who gave up there time to dispell some of the Myths & Legends and preconceptions divers may have about GUE.

Thanks to Claire for giving up what i imagine is her valuable time as one of the country's 4 GUE instructors it must be hard to find time like that for today.

Other to Thank,

Diane (Mad Fish)
Phil O
Tim
& others that i could not quite catch there names and my memory ish Sh1t

im sure the other forum members who attended today enjoyed the demo even though the Viz was pants.

Mal, Neil & the Foxturd boys are doing DIR a big favour by organising these intro days, even if they are a bit like those free personality tests you used to see in Tottenham Court Road

They're a credit to UK diving.

Same here, cheers to you all! There were some good ideas passed and will adopt these.

Cheers,
Lou

Thanks to Mal for organising and all the peaple who turned up to help. I am not a convert but I now have a far better understanding,

GUE diver are not JJs robots they are thinking divers who like to plan there dives and dive SAFELY

Didn't Bridgeman have a quiet word in your shell-like about these?

I've heard that if you splash Wakulla spring water on them it burns right through.

Apologies to Mal as I wasn't one of his little helpers but I needed to do something else today.

Talking to Al last week at the dive show he kindly volunteered himself and Clare to buddy me on their dive, So to Al and Clare for the lone of a twin set and joining them for their dive, Marty also ended up joining us so we dived in two pairs and left Al and Clare when I was getting cold on the Stanegarth.

Marty and I headed back to the 6m shelf so Marty could do a shut down drill, well done Marty minor equipment failure for me on our ascent up the wall when my dump cord came off in my hand - I really should learn to tie knots

Nice to meet some new faces, hope you all got as much out of the day as I did.

Really? I thought you said they were sh*te

Good to meet you Graham....and indeed everyone who came. It seemed to me that everyone enjoyed the day and got what they wanted from it so that's very pleasing .... Me? I just enjoyed going diving and talking b*ll*x

Hope to see you all again in the future.
Mal

P.S. Thanks to all the helpers without whom the day cannot function.
