Greetings!
Hi, my name is Joe and I have been a diver for 30 years. One day at a time.

I am qualified as a BSAC Sports diver (originally 3rd class) but have an unfortunate habit of never logging dives or completing training courses. I guesstimate I have done over 1200 dives.

I am member of Ipswich Sub-Aua Club, a more friendly, fun and active club you would be hard pressed to find.

I particularly enjoy diving the wrecks along the east anglian coastline. Difficult visibility and launch conditions together with a huge number of wrecks mean that most are infrequently visited and you don't have to go technical to visit one that has not been polished by daily visits of divers.

I enjoy organising dives, using the two club RIBS, mainly because everybody in the club pulls together so well that it is so easy that it makes me look good. However other members have caught onto this recently and dive organising is getting competitive.

I enjoy the flaura and fauna, particularly anything that I can catch that is edible. I am not allowed in the house after a dive unless accompanied by dinner. I do a little underwater video, though mostly this is done abroad.

My pet hates are; noise pollution, the increasing number of people with computers that bleep for any conceivable reason, or underwater horns that are used relenltessly, and also lost lobster pots, why on earth don't they have biodegradable bindings so that they don't keep trapping critters for ever and a day.

Cheers
Joe

Quite understandable that. Is there anything that you can do to stop the problem? I haven't come across any as yet - if you have seen one in a location do you take tools down next time or do you send them up to the surface etc

I will usually cut a panel out of the pot but only if I am sure that the pot or line is not new and capable of being recovered by grapple, which I understand occasionally happens. I have recovered one set of pots for a local chap but a rib is a bit small for that kind of activity and my buddies didn't thank me.

I think it is probalby one of the few things that calls for EU legislation, heaven knows it should be common sense not to have lost pots reducing your future catches for ever and a day, the potters should think of something to make fail themselves.

I would suggest a campaign but I don't think there is a potters equivalent of YD.

Cheers
Joe
