A small number of Bristol Massive members hit Vobster Quarry..sorry, Quay, today. Initially disappointed by the warmer weather, they became more encouraged when it started to pi$$ down with rain.
Daz was sporting a electrally heated thermal undersuit powered by 300 AA batteries concealed under his drysuit. Lacking any kind of heat loss, he became very unpopular with those members of his diving group clad only in semi-dry`s. (Yes they do exsist at this time of the year). This was compounded when he willfully prevented them from leaving the water by insisting on conducting endless mask clearing, reg. swapping, & bouyancy demo-ing exercises.
For my own part, I had a reasonable day. On the first dive, I found two knives and a weight belt with about 15kg on it. Whoever lost this must have made a rocket like ascent from 8.9mtrs... This beats the finds on my last visit to Vobster, where I found a weight pouch, complete with weights and a small knife
I left the weight belt on the first training platform on the right hand side of the Quay, in about 7 mtrs of water. If you are there on Saturday, take a look for it. The webbing is the kind you find on Buddy jackets, and the weights are bloody enormous.
We ended the day with the obligitory `Fat Boys` fry-up, before pissing off back to Bristol.
