Anywhere diving this bank holiday? With a space?

[Scuby]

Now, given that i've seen the weather it looks like most dives have been cancelled for tomorrow, and Sunday's not looking much better.

However, as i haven't dived for a while I really would like to find someone somewhere going out on the south coast (no further west than Weymouth) who's likely to actually get out to a decent dive (which means not diving Portland Harbour).

If anyone does have a space on a boat, which hasn't been cancelled yet and for which weather is looking not toooo bad, for either Sunday or Monday, please let me know!

Cheers

David

Cheers, i'm now preliminarily booked onto a boat in Swanage for tomorrow, although weather is still looking shoddy so won't know if its a go until 5-6pm tonight... so might still end up looking for somewhere for Monday!

Bugger, tomorrow is a no no

Anyone got any spaces for monday that look even a little bit likely to go?

I don't think anyone will be going far in a 6, on Monday.
I am booked to go out of Lymington, but very unlikey to happen...

No, i'm not expecting much... just a vague hope that someone with some local knowledge of the weather is predicting better than the BBC (and in fairness the forecast today has varied hugely over the past 5 days), or has a nice site planned in a sheltered area.

Ever the optimist I know!

The weather system is coming through earlier than previously given, but it will still be a deep low and gale force in places. My barometer is reading 1004 and I am 200 yds from the sea ( solent ). It will still take about a day to settle down after the low goes through late tomorrow unfortunately.

Have a look @ GB Wind Map
