Play nicely - I get hurt very easily.

Last Sunday afternoon I went diving. We moved the dive from Sat to Sun because the weather was supposed to be EVEN better on Sunday.

That turned out to be a load of crap because we had big lumps of sea with the white stuff on top. As we were in Eastbourne Lock the lifeboat call out flares went up. 5 minutes out we heard a MAYDAY call from a yatch where one of the crew had been knocked unconscious by a boom - poor sod.

Anyway, did the dive on the Lalen Mendi (Torpedoed 1917 / 2200 tons / 209 ft long / cargo of coal). Max depth 32 mtrs and it was pitch black with abt 2 mtrs viz in my torch light. Got to 10 mins deco and headed up. Copped a gob full of water and breathed some of it in whilst getting in the Rhib. I thought I'd had it - I couldn't even breath in enough to cough and had to be hauled on board. Got home and was absolutely knackered - just lay on the bed watching TV all evening.

Naturally I will be going out again as soon as I can.

What is the word/phrase that describes people like me (indeed, US).

Divers. Sums it all up really. We throw ourselves off a perfectly good boat all the time!

Lucky - given the number of dives I've missed or had blown out this year, I'd have just been happy to get wet

Even Stoney's starting to look attractive.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo...............

Our Monday (bank holiday here) dive was a called off also. It rained all day and all the sun never came out at all. Sunday's dive was almost off due to rough conditions, but we managed it. I nearly broke my leg on the entry due to waves and my foot is still killing me having landed on a big rock in just over a metre of water in twin 12s and a 7L stage doing giant stride entry.

Weather permitting we are in the sea next week and on a big wreck.. Hurrah!!

Chris
