what you doing this weekend?

[Scubee]

Yesterday, i 'popped in' to the dive shop and stayed 2 hours .

Did some gardening and some kit fettling (almost finished prepping my drop bottle )

Today was housework.

No diving

Whats the betting the weather next weekend, when i am diving, turns out to be crap and the dive gets canned.

2nd day out on the boat in sunshine with nice flat sea. Then ANOTHER chopper lift. Am I jinxed? I'm on first name terms with the nice rescue man.

Except not all wheels are the same, so when doing my DM exams, my workings on the wheel were correct but I had to guess to the nearest answer on the exam paper

About to go to sleep on sofa after an awesome good dive on the war knight and 3 pints of bow. What a great day!

Ahhhhh. Two lovely dives in the sunshine and flat water today out of Mylor on Okeanos's new rib (or Dive Action's old rib, whichever way you want to look at it ).

First dive was the east narrows. A good 7m of very light viz, lots and lots of life including a thronabck ray, several docile dogfish and a beautiful, big sea lemon. Spent almost an hour pootling about, max depth about 27m.

second dive was the Seal Caves. I stupidly said we were guaranteed not to see a seal underwater as any dive site that is named after a creatue virtually ensures you won't see said creature. Lovely, lovely keply, rocky, gully-ish site that I haven't dived before. Got a bit stuck in a long crack for a few seconds - got reunited with Caroline - got massive, huge, enormous underwater bollocking and then had 15 mins of being stalked and harassed by a very, very large bull grey seal :o:. He started off nervous but his confidence and stalking abilities grew rapidly and after having him pushing beyond my fins into my lap and seeing how his muzzle was half the wdith of my jetfins Caroline rather forcefully () called the dive and we surfaced to join Okeanos on the boat and fend off youths mackerel fishing from the others in the water (doing AOW) who didn't see a single seal.....

Just finished a nice bottle of NZ Savy (Kim Crawford) to celebrate:

a) a good if dark weekend's diving out of Littlehampton (with the most bizarre B&B in Bognor with a sign over the sink with push button taps which read "these taps do not turn - push buttons to operate" - now what does that say about the usual clientele who need to be told how to use taps.....

b) polishing off Leonardo Lobster who naughtily crawled into my goody bag - bad lobster

c) Fulham's survival in the Premiership - Roy Hodgson for Pope!

d) only 2 days at work this week as we head off up to Elgin and Lossiemouth for 4 days diving on Wednesday.

Life is good!
