I'd like to thank William for being the usual excellent skipper.

I'd also like to thank my BC, for supporting me throughout my dives.
I'd like to thank my compass, for pointing me in the right direction when it wasn't clear.
I'd like to give a special thanks to my undersuit damp patch, which has stayed with me through thick and thin(sulate).

Thankyou!

And now the Oscar is tightly in your sticky mit and after much grovelling and gushing, is it back to saving the Amazon Rain Forest, The World, The Whale, World Peace and of course enough money for your next dive trip?

Nice one Col, glad to see you got back OK.

Yup, an excellent day - thanks again Jo for organising it. It was nice to be able to see what we were diving for a change, as the viz is now about 4-6m. Hurrah!

I MUST go back and do the Somali again.

Lovely pics Graham

Love Helen xxx

Just to add my thanks to the list

Twas a fabbo gig and I really enjoyed the dives. Many thanks to Jo for organising...

The Somali is a cracking wreck and would love to get on her again, but next time will order warmer water and better viz

Gary and I had a couple of incidents on our dives and apologies to anyone who spotted us on the first dive...I promise that there was a reason that I was pinning him to the seabed Bit of a reel problem I'm afraid...

Thanks for posting the pics...

See ya

Kathy
