Well I like it!.

Hi.

After diving for what seems like for ever, I have confirmed my personal conclusion, that any diving other than Wreck diving is pants.

I proved it to myself this Bank Holiday at the Farnes, diving through gully's lined with dead mans fingers and brittle stars, it was only when I hit the wreckage that my interest and dive began.

I can not think of a dive anywhere in the world that can rock my boat greater, than a good rummage on the Offshore Wrecks on the East Coast whatever the viz or temperature.

What can anybody see in looking at stripy fish and slug things, people even rave about sea weed for Gods sake, I don't no!.

Watching 3 hermit crabs fighting a foot off the bottom over a new shell is pretty impressive.

Having a seal nibble yer fins is fab.

Seeing a grouper let cleaner wrasse into his mouth is top stuff.

Getting squirted by a cuttlefish because you got too close is heart warming stuff.

I suppose looking at rusting metal has its moments too?!?!?

Oh I don't know.

Rusty metal is ok, but are we ruling out for ever, 10mtr monsters coming straight at you with their mouths open, doing the superman impression at 9 knots over the snowscapes of deadmens fingers, or even being in the middle of the washing machines surround by bubbles going off in every direction.
Then there's that moment when you're just a little bit bored, and thinking about shooting a balloon, and something really freaky the size of a finger nail appears that you've never even imagined before, and plays around with your head for 10mins while you try to figure out wtf it is.
Variety is the spice of life still isn't it?

Regards

i might be a hybrid, my most memorable dive was over the bomb damage on the rosalie moller, watching the grouper coming into the wreck taking the glassfish

I am finding myself less 'stirred' by general marine flora and fauna. However, I would love to dive with seals and encounter some of the more stimulating marine life.

But when it comes down to it, I love wrecks, aspire to dive caves and cenotes and just can't help wanting to get in and under stuff

Few years ago I was guiding what I thought was a pretty mundane night
dive round the bay in PDC Lanzarote. No wreckage to speak of, not even
a chance to scoot over the drop-off.

Ten minutes into the dive and came on two bull Angel Sharks having a go.
20 mins later and they were still going at it like sumos. Very impressive and
easily as good as any wreck dive I've done.
