All change!!!

Hi Fi,
        It's now actually 4 at least for the 2nd boat. I'll try a bit of emotional blackmail. I know them that're already going will have recieved this.

Here's the plan of itinnythingy;
Friday the 5th
We all arrive at different times so the best thing to do is sort your own dinners out when you arrive. There is a big kitchen at the centre to cook your own or there is a hotel(not-recommended) or the new Bistro(never tried but Phil tells me it's good if a little pricey). Meet in the Social club for a few Tequilas and to introduce each other. I'll do my usual "Are you lot with Yorkshire Divers?" I also need to meet the skipper here to find out about BF, C + T.

Saturday the 6th
We'll dive the Hispania ( http://www.divernet.com/wrecks/hispania499.htm ) and either the Shuna ( http://www.divernet.com/wrecks/wtour480203.htm ) or the Thesis ( http://www.divernet.com/wrecks/wtour250301.htm ). The reason I want to do these on the Saturday is I want everyone to bring full cylinders up with them and for those with Nitrox the max depth here is 30mtrs. I am as yet unsure about depths of Coll, Tiree and Bo Fascadale goes down to 80mtrs+(Not recommended on Nitrox troops). We'll go back to Lochaline between these dives and there is a burger van at the pier for lunches.
I'll book us all into the Bistro for dinner on the Saturday evening, then some more Tequila will be partook in.

Sunday the 7th
I'm going to try for Bo Fascadale ( http://www1.arcl.ed.ac.uk/scotfed/sc.../bofascad.html ) on Sunday. We'll do two dives there and look at the possibility for doing a shallow Scallop dive on the way back(AIR is available on-board). Again I'll need to sort this out with Alan(Skipper) on the Friday. Lunches will need to be taken with us. The boat has a "small" stove for hot drinks or the ubiquitous Pot Noodle.. If Bo-Fascadale, Coll or Tiree is not on then we're not exactly stuck for options in the Sound
What do you think of a barbie for dinner on the Sunday to eat all the fresh Scallops you've just lifted?

Monday the 8th
I'm fairly easy about the Monday. I can launch options at you all left, right and centre. Wreck, Scenic, or I have an idea for a belter of a drift. It's called the Cuan Sound and it's, err, exhilarating to say the least. You're as well soloing this as there is no way you'll stick with a buddy unless you're lined together. I'm open to ideas though!!! See here for info on Coll and Tiree ( http://www.sportextreme.com/phdiar172/ &nbsp
Then you all go home with big smiles on your faces8o))

Hi all

New to this board (but not some of the others) diving Mull sounds good.  Had two goes for the Hispania in March, but 3+ knots was a bit much.

No buddy so someone will have an air breathing buddy (after 24 years I still find air does Ok for me).

Ever the eternal optomist sounds like a great idea.

Hi Edward,
                 You've been added to the 2nd boat. I just need another 3 bodies now for it to be a goer. So come on folks, Don't be shy.

Hi all,
        For them that's interested Divermag(p31) has an article on diving a couple of the wrecks I'm planning to do on this gig. The Aurania and the Tapti. They look good enough for a fun swim about. Not too deep, clear water and loads of life. Yippeeee!!!
 I'd still like a bit more info. on the Nevada II though if anyone has anything as that's possibly a 2nd or 3rd dive that day.

Peter
