I think, to be fair, people have lives outside diving. My life outside diving seems to consist of earning the wherewithall to go diving, but that's another matter! Yes, there were others who expressed an interest but couldn't make it. Hopefully they'll be there next time....and bring a friend!

John and I had a really good couple of days. From my own perspective, it was good to meet some other divers in Scotland who aren't going to have kittens if they come across me and my long hose, single-piece harness and twins. I've also been trying to talk my mother into a backplate and wing for several years...and if you can't do the "You don't need this, this, this, this or this" trick with a member of the immediate family, who can you do it to? Unfortunately I don't think anyone got the "trophy photo" of the rejected pile of kit for me to use in evidence in the future!

And if anyone wonders why GUE-trained divers are often found in quarries or similar sheltered sites, you should have seen my attempt at a three-bottle-shuffle...not something you want to do for the first time with an hour of deco ahead of you! I should also point out that the pile of kit in front of John's truck in Stewart's photo consists of my kit, John's still being in the back of his truck! Unfortunately we didn't get a picture of the latter as it left my house, loaded for our cave trip to France next week. And apparently there are two standard-body Gavin's going in there too!

Great couple of days. Thanks to Grigor, Steve and Davie for coming along. And to my mum...!

Iain

ohh, i was there, but i think he means steve right enough.
i didnt partake in the event...
my reasons, not that i need to give them, but it might interest gareth...
just spent a week doing a trimix course in egypt last week, and going away for 5 weeks working starting mid week.
so, i wanted to pleasure dive on my last weekend off for a while, not anymore training.
perhaps next time... but then again, i read on your blog davie that dir divers dont/cant? smoke...
is that really true?

Iain, I had hoped to be there, and had expressed an interest on CA, but couldn't make it due to work in the end. From the sound of Steve's report it would have been a great day. I'm sorry there was such a small turn out for all of your efforts, although it sounds like you had a good time anyway. I will certainly try my hardest to be there if there is another one.

Unfortunately, I don't have any friends, so I can't help on that front.

I didn't make it home at the weekend, I was diving in the Dales and the weather was too nice to waste by going into the sea I was only a "might" anyway.

Only as far as filling in the forms... the first GUE trained diver that I knew in Scotland reeked like a lum, usually cigars. But as far as the forms went he was a poster boy...

Cheers,

Stuart
