Managed to Go away diving last friday..
I had one good dive at 22m for 35 minutes vis was about 20 foot ( Which is downright amazing for my turf )..
I was watching some seals having a hunt on an Occy...
When "Wack" I got a really good thump on the leg..I looked around couldnt see anything, but had a real pain in the leg.
Remember thinking must have been a Tidal Surge and dropped me on a Rock, So carried on with my Dive untill my Buddy tapped me on the shoulder and pointed out I was leaking perfectly good fluid from my leg..( Prob single Malt Whiskey).
At this point we decided to abort the dive and head back to the boat ( Sharks are a real problem. A pissed Mako is nothing this Diver wants to come across..) :hai:
So finally onboard the boat and having checked out the nice hole in my Wetsuit ( Darn only a new one :redhot: )
And my lily white legs wich also had a slight puncture wound
and I do mean "slight". We all headed off down the local pub for a post dive wrap up and of course the compulsary few pints and tell a few exagerated I " saw " the size off Moby Dicks..
I woke up the next morning with a lump on my leg the size off an egg with one of those red painfull type colours..
So I shot off to see the local Quack and was then referred to a dive specialist ( doctor ), who couldnt work out wich way to treat it,cause there are a lot of nastys out there..
So he ended up using my butt as a pin cushion and shot me full of everything.
Next day it was even bigger lump which he then started draining and left a tap in...I am now off work Bored and not aloud to dive untill further notice..
So the moral off the story..
I dont have one "Im feeling cranky and just wanted a good cry and whinge " which I feel a lot better for
Anyway Guys/Gals watch it out there, you can get your Ass whupped for no reason
