[Mr T.]

Soon to feature in Planned Trips me thinks.

As stated previously, the Hoods a good dive, the problem for anyone travelling a long way to the south coast is that 50% of the time the diving is cancelled due to weather conditions.
The advantage of Weymouth/Portland is that you can allways dive the Hood or inside the harbour.

Eh up Mark (Chase) didn't quite look like this when we were on it.

For all who read this, going to organise a trip to Swanage / Portland for May time, will put a post up next week,

Count me in.

Howard,

Given the above pics (and my desire to dive this puppy) you may not be alone.

The Hood was my first wreck dive and it still holds a special place in my affections, I have dived it several times over the years and have still not got bored with her.

Safe diving,
Steve.

Wow!  I want to know what time of year those photos were taken because it looks like a kind of parallel universe Portland to the one I was diving in last year....where did that viz come from???

We did one dive where we tried to find the Queenie from the Spaniard and missed her entirely despite passing within a couple of metres - oops!

Ooops, that'll be a blonde moment from Peter. I was looking at the map and thinking it was South America with the Florida Keys extended to fit the wrecks in. If you look at the map you'll see what I mean. I guess it's in Ingerland somewhere then.

That's more than blonde, Peter - that's humungous fun bags too!!

It is indeed Ingerland - Portland Harbour, Chesil beach and Portland Bill (*oh, come with me, to the rolling sea, when the weather's calm and still, and we'll have some fun and laughter with the adventures of Portland Bill* - remember that??) - near Weymouth, Dorset. (that's down at the bottom and left a bit from the diamond shaped island that isn't Australia)

Hope that helps, Jordan...
