The boys after that "incident". Ssssssh. Here's hoping they make a full recovery.

I am really really really sorry and thoroughly embarrassed seeing as I dived to 43m with this man and talked to him for a good hour.

What's your real name?

I want to know who told The Chesh to turn around and go back while he was still on his way down ! Can't have been Digger as he was described as "some rebreather diver" rather than a chap sucking on a vacuum

Glad to hear you all had a great time chaps. Did you get some scallops?

Some great photos guys that have surely got to make there way to the caption comp thread.

Nice to put some names to faces.

I do really think I am never going to dive the Salsette. Perhaps it's just not meant to be!!

Digger is now on his MOD 1 course and all is going well - even the unit is working!!

Hope to see you all again soon,

Jen

Well, i went down most of the line, and came back up again.....Dive time, under 10 minutes!! I think that pretty much sums up 90% of everyones trip report....Except the 1st two down.....Now, shall we start a poll....Did they or did they not pull the shot out

I have no doubt in my mind that Graham & Gary pulled the shot off the wreck. Saying that the wreck could have been 2 feet away and I wouldn't have seen it.

I suppose that it was pure luck that I just happened to stumble across that porthole and I'm sooo glad that Paul remembered to take a lift bag.

I agree with Woz, a 45m dive, 1ft of viz and very very dark with no He in the mix was rather interesting.


Right I'm off down to Focus to get some brick acid and a big plastic bucket.

someone left their weight belt on the boat

could you give smudge a call with the details I'm sure you will need it next time

Graham


PS actually when we hit the bottom we tied the shot to a rather large conger and kicked up all the silt, before finning off

So, did you all still have to pay for diving the sea bed?
