Why do you think I said the BOTTOM of the car park

Hoping to stop short of the slipway, as for you Phill, get down there and have a paddle with us, or at least lend me some jet fins to see if they are as good as my 'finweight system'.

Sorry chaps, but "I cannae make it" My sinuses are solid and there is no chance of me diving today.

Richie, I left a message on your 'phone last night - did you get it?

Dive safe people,

Noel.

Well, various YD'ers made it down to Stoney today.

WWD, Recurve and I met up, and were shortly joined for a hello by Richie and Alex, before they went off to sort their dives out.
The three of us kitted up and dropped in at the slipway, and dropped down to 20 metres at the Commer Van. After a trundle out to the Stanegarth via the Wessex, we stopped there for a while. Gary (WWD) offered to make a pair to have a look in the hold, but both me and Phil wimped out at that one.
Made our way back to the wall via the bus, which I've managed to miss all the times I have dived in Stoney Puddle. Came up the wall at the end of the anchor line, and thats where the fun started for me. All the way up from 20 metres to the cockpit I seemed to be fighting to maintain a normal ascent, so I headed straight over to the cockpit in case I needed to grab something! I was clearly underweighted and had to let myself surface, fortunately in a controlled manner rather than a runaway jobbie, so cue one missed safety stop, but thats why I always dive well within the tables, just in case something happens. Anyway, I could not get off the surface to let the other two know where I was, so I watched them looking around, until Phil looked up and I could signal OK to him.
I'm trying to work out why it happenned (apart from being underweighted) as I have made about 5 or 6 dives with that configuration to the same depths and come up with the same air left in the tank each time, and it has not been a problem until I got to about 2 metres each time. Obviously time to add a bit more weight, and do some more shallow water testing.
After a surface interval Phil and Gary decided to do a short second dive, which I declined, due to the fact that I was absolutely freezing my bits off, even with a thick drysuit. (Phil must be either hard as nails or completely nuts as he seemed fine in his semidry ) So I wimped out and played kit bitch while those two had a short dive. Gary decided to try and take out a few divers when he slipped on the slipway whilst exiting after the dive - the call of incoming from another diver made me laugh at that. (Sorry Gary!)
So for me, not a good days diving, but at least I got wet, and found something new to work on, and got myself out of a little problem in a controlled (ish) manner.
And now I await SteveS to tell all, about his little chilly moment

yep happened again although thankfully this time due to the christmas pud my suit is a bit snugger thus "little steve" escaped the worst of it the plus side is I have located the leak [a couple of tears in my front zip] the downside is its only 14 months old and will have to be replaced again shame I only saw a few of you also I couldn't believe how busy it was

Safe diving,
Steve

Yes sorry I missed you, I probably walked straight past you at some point, as I do tend to go into "oblivious mode" when wandering around sometimes!
How much is that going to cost you for a new zip or can you claim it on some insurance or warranty ?

Likewise and unfortunately the warranty on the zip is 12 months and last time it was £120 I have asked for a heavy duty one so hopefully it will last a bit longer.

Safe diving in 2006,
Steve

Shame its so expensive, zips have always been costly for suits though.
