Now me, i gets them down the funnel every time But then i just hold the Rhib over the top of it all the way through the process, and we only use a small anchor and about 2m of chain.

Was how i lost shot wieghts on nearly every dive last year, where it was firmly in the wreck and the last diver down , didn't take a turn on the down line for easy recovery......... ONLY thing changed this year is a TRIPPING link.

And yet another weekend of charter fishing boats telling me that some wrecks have fallen in on themselves, the joys of a £ 3000 sounder ,

EDITED:

I have now edited this post as i feel it has been seen by those who need to see it and i don't want it left on an open forum,hopefully it will have the desired result.
Sometimes you need to be blunt in getting the point across,Yes, to the red blobber(and Fiona) it was harsh,but that is what's needed in this case.

Time will tell if it has worked.


There is still some in the post below....make up your own minds.

Not saying anything,and claiming everything is all right will not help things.At the end of the day it matters not one jot to any of the divers here,they will just end up voting by going elsewhere.


And i speak from personal experience.

Well Mr Jetsam, a wee bit harsh me thinks. At least the people who have posted on here, have identified themselves and are well known to Andy, unlike yourself who hasn't even signed your name, maybe you would like to do just that and add some detail to your profile while your at it.

Sounds like a good plan Andy, nice one.
