No we had to drive into town for air.... when we got back the firebrigade were there...

Apparently our Advanced Instructor and his, buddy had managed to scare some cows ...which fell in the canal... the fire brigade were there to get them out..

I don't know know if they were having us on or not but the Firemen told us that a cow can drown from water going up its backside....! not being a farmy type group we just grinned .

The AI got a plastic cow award at the next AGM... well funny..

ok that's me and Jason (principia) on the list too now.. so much better than the mucky puddle we were going to visit to play at shutdowns.

[Noel Johnson]

Cool. Jules, it's been far too long.

Why worry about air surely it could be done with a snorkle.

Just got back from the Rez and what a great days diving. Thanks to everyone there, good to meet new faces and some familiar faces, oh, and a note to Mid Lancs BSAC (subs are in the post ).
I managed to get a bit of line laying practice done on both dives and thanks Noel Johnson and Freeflow for your patience.
Well worth the visit.

Yes thanks for organising it, i really enjoyed it too. Lovely to see Noel again and always great to meet new people and then have another attempt at Killing Jason (principia) , failed again but this time he tried to help by tying himself up underwater and then doing a feet first ascent which was entertaining.

I wonder if I can get my name on all 15 of the threads on the from page

Yes, a cracking day out - something a bit different you might say. I thought dive no3 was the better one, mainly due to the fact I had to do a fin repair in the chamber on dive 1 and I'd forgotten to charge the lightsabre

Apparently, according to David, I looked like a glowworm caught in a jam jar.

Dive 2. Noel and Freeflow push the limits of no viz fishpoo diving. We cannot recommend it at all. One lap feeling around the edge was enough.

Dive 3. Trusty Lidl backup was the only thing that had batteries in it for this one, blimey. The atmosphere, the sense of depth was unnerving even though it's about 2 metres deep it feels deeper with a little light, especially when you turn it off.

As with all YD dives it's always great to meet new people, even if we were just tagging along. Thank you Mid Lancs BSAC. Jules, great to see you again after so many years. Jason and everyone else, a pleasure to meet you. It was the first time I've been wet in months.

And last but by no means least, Frankie and Freeflow - cheers for the buddying.

A cracking day and great to meet some new faces.

It may only be 2 metres deep. but tied up in line and inverted you will be glad you decided to bring a tank and not just a snorkel

Much more fun thant doing skills in other certain dive sites!

Hi all

Just to say It was nice to meet you all yesterday, thanks for coming along, and I hope you all enjoyed it.

Personally I thought it was a great day and something very different, plus the beef stew at dinner time just hit the mark.

Hope to see you all soon, but in the mean time have fun and dive safely.

Andy
