Who's rebreather is it?

Well done Gareth on your successful completion of the Swissdave diving fitness and diet program, now all you need to do is reach 6ft and you'll look ok.

P.s getting bitchslapped by a mother/daughter team does not count as sexual contact


And once again some fantastic shots on some great dives

That's not fair Helen, you missed all the ones of Grant stuffing 2 Fudges into his mouth, and he didn't need to bite down He is planning for 3 fudges tomorrow.

Today’s escapades!

First dive today was on the Konig. Unfortunately the vis wasn’t as good as yesterday but we managed around 6m. Ash’s backdoor (1) seems a little loose and has come undone twice now; maybe this has something to do with the antics in Dave and Ash’s room when the lights go out! Maybe a couple of zipties will keep things in place. Although it appears the fettling which he carried out on his Custom Divers he-wee has solved the problems and he had a dry dive. Grant lost his nuts this morning which meant that he nearly lost his 18s when he jumped in. Top tips from Grant, make sure your Delrin knobs are done up tightly otherwise you loose your rig off your back, somewhat expensive when you have 18s, 2 x Al80s, 35W Salvo and 2 reels!!

Thanks to Gary (WWD) there was a box of Cadbury’s Fudge presented to the crew. Unfortunately Grant and GLOC decided to see how many of these could be got into the mouth in one go after lunch and I understand that Helen has already posted some photos of the events!! Top lunch from Helen (again!)

James Barrie: As usual the tide was fun Barry went down to tie the shot in, tide on the surface was slack but was running a ‘little’ on the bottom which meant that the shot had to be moved some 20m to tie it into the wreck. Dave helped Barry move it and was a little out of breath when they finally got the shot to the wreck. GLOC and Paul were next down and when they got to the bottom to find Dave lying still on the bottom, we did wonder if anything was wrong especially as he had some nice shiny kit that he could been relieved of if he wasn’t Lots of wildlife including some glass fish on the bow of the Barrie. Pretty much everyone had a look around the inside of the fish lockers and Ash and Dave did some exploring aft of the wheel house area inside the wreck. Fortunately no-one came out with oil stains!! Vis wasn’t that great and the sun was playing hide and seek behind the clouds which meant it wasn’t the best conditions for the wreck but everyone had fun nonetheless.

Grant has had a suspected bend but he is in major denial especially as he has drunk has half a bottle of vodka already! (Actually, it is a muscle strain lifting those 18s as he is such an airpig!!) Unfortunately we had already divvied up his kit before that bit of information came through!!

The hilarity continued on the boat with banter running amok. Nice to see Helen and Hazel joining in taking the piss out of the customers.

Tomorrow is another battleship and cruiser before some deeper stuff out of the Flow Wednesday and Thursday as long as the weather holds, which it is supposed to

A few pictures (all from the Barrie as the Konig didn’t have conditions worth taking pictures of)
