Swanage

<font color='#000080'>Matt,
I'll have to speak to the boss about it, but a few warm-up dives seem like a good idea.
However, the &quot;baby&quot; in baby-sitting is almost appropriate... my youngest is just 3 yo... and the other is almost 7yo.
I'd probably have to coordinate with grand-parents to provide the baby-sitting services (but if we do get ourselves organised enough to dive with you, I promise that I won't mention baby-sitting duties to Mrs Mattbin!)
regards
Andrew

<font color='#0000FF'>OK Andy, you can add my buddy Steve Miller(band) to the troop list, he's Padi DM with a few hundred dives under his belt, and like myself, Lou, Caroline &amp; Mattbin a dedicated fish-prodder (hope the rest of the troop is too).

I'll be staying on some campsite , apparently even these need to be booked well in advance. I'll be staying over for the Monday for a spot of diving and kayaking, which, after my last kayak effort suggests I will be needing my pony and reg for capsize situations &nbsp;

Chee-az

Steve.
Will you be bringing some Led Zep cds or shall I
I`m ashamed to admit that I also bought Rolf Harris`s version of Stairway to Heaven.............
I`ve also seen both versions of STH (Stairway to Heaven, I`m learning text/web speak) live.
Giving away my age now.

Anyone booked anywhere yet?

The one and only time I dived the Sky was from sidewinder 3 yrs ago, am soooooooo looking forward to it.

Will the seadart crowd be arround that weekend?

Swanage is just down the road compared to recent trip to Lockaline.

Shandyshire...................  Ask the guys on the trip to Sound of Mull, who stayed and braved the elements and dived on Sunday pm......... not the well`ard northern brigade but the so called southern shandy drinkers, more of this to follow in my trip report.

[Lou]

I'm seeing a pattern here....myself and Caroline, the Bristol Massive and the Shandy Drinkers in Mull.......

As I suspected, these northern types are spoilt by good conditions.

[Seadart Mark]

Dude.

Am sure a few Seadart boys will be around that weekend, keep an eye out for us. Look out for white Transit parked on the pier flying USSR Navy Dive flag, or we'll be the ones trying to by coffe/bacon-roll from Ali's cafe with pieces-of-eight. &nbsp;

Cheers

This sounds great guys unfortunately I in Bath on the Saturday and was supposed to follow that with a week in Cornwall..bummer!  

But,  the plans have changed and Im now in Dorset (Sandford?) that week instead....EXCELLENT!

So,  from the Monday I'm up for a load of diving and really find out if those places in Dorset are really that good.

Won't be able to make the boat on Sunday but if anybody is around the rest of the week then get in touch and we can sort something out.

Cheers All.

As far as I am aware the above are diving Sat and Sun all of us are booked on Sidewinder out of Swanage to do Aeolian Sky and the Kyarra

Matt and Adam will join us on the Sunday to dive Kyarra then a drift, probably off a small wreck called the Fluer de Lys

Possibles,
Mr and Mrs abucksdiver
The person who PM'ed me whose message vanished off the system (I didn't delete it - honest)

When I get back I will need to get the money sorted out, got confirmation of the boat booking this morning, get your places to stay cos we are ready to rock

I sent you a PM on 17th about Swanage.

What I said was that I recently joined the YD forums (good site by the way) and would be interested in meeting up at Swanage. The problem I have is that I will not be with a regular buddy and asked if it is likely there will be any other loners or whether it's possible that I could join another pair. I don't know what the form is (I won't be a problem - honest!!).

I am a PADI DM based in Suffolk.

Cheers

Kevin
