Is anybody up for St Abbs tomorrow (Sat 21)?

Imported post

I'll definately be there even though my girlfriend has mailed me this afternoon to say she's scalded her hand so not sure if the damage is sufficient to stop her diving until a bit later this afternoon/early evening.

However, contingency plans assuming you can't find another buddy - there are several possibilities:
1) I could dive with you both as a "three" - not really recommended though,
2)I could do four dives (two with each of you)not really a problem with deco as I'm not planning to go deep (17-18 is the max anyway
3) There MAY be a couple of folk there from my old club: the TO and 2 potential new Dive Leaders so posibly there could be some scope there.

My home tel no is 0191 4695317 in case you want to get incontact with me (will be out until mid evening though).
Of course if someone else post's here to confirm, then there's less faff to be done .

Whats your quals, experience etc Tim? Where you travellng from ?
Cheers

Hi Steve,

wrt the quals etc: I'm PADI AOW with just under 30 dives - thus my insistence on relatively easy dives.  Most of the diving I've done has been inland mud holes - Stoney / Capernwray and some out in Turkey.

I'll be Travelling from West Yorks (near York) so its a blatt straight up the A1 - I'm guessing at just over 2 hours arriving at 9:00 ish.

If I can pair up with one other then I will definitely be up - don't really want to make a 3-some.

Hope the girlfriends hand is ok ...... but if not then maybe we can buddy-up.

Dave, if you can't make this weekend, I'm still intending to make St Abbs next weekend (with the family) so maybe see you then anyway?

Cheers and speak to you later.

Tim

Cheers Dave,

As well as those sites I also want to get in the Ampitheatre which is supposed to be something.

Catch you next weekend then.

Steve, it looks like its you and me then mate.

My nos above if you want to call me and sort meeting times / places.  I'm in a poor reception area tho. so might have some trouble calling me but I'll check back here later so leave a message if necessary.

OK -  I will definately be arriving with my girlfriend who is ok to dive so if Paul C buddies with Timing we're sorted.
Re Big Green Carr then Cathedral for next dive - think that is going to be a reverse profile,  so "Caveat Emptor!" as the Romans would have said (ie at your own risk)

Re tides - yeah low is early (see below) so think I'll aim for about 10ish (with the emphasis on 'ish'). Only problem is if  the car park fills up rapidly.

My rough dive plan - a pootle around big Green Carr to get used to being back in the water, check everything is in full order and to look for the Wolf-fish, then a lap of Seagull Rock after lunch and brush up on my drills.

I'll check the forum in the morning for any further postings, would be useful to know how to recognise folks (couldn't get any red carnations for my BCD!)

Really looking forward to getting back into the water!
time to chill now, See yers!

Steve, Paul see you there at around 10 ish.

I'll be in a black Seat Leon, ND Divemaster dry suit with Single 15L and Mares BCD.

Paul I have your number so will call you when I get there.

Can't wait to see that Wolf fish!

Tim
