We will be diving around the Porthkerris area at the end of April/ beginning of May. (30-04-2004 until 05-05-2004 IIRC)

The list of attendees is long and distinguished and will include a few YDers including honoury members of the Bristol Massive from tup north and the big smoke.

So if anyone is in the area and want's to meet up with some old faces (Mattbin will be there - and they don't come much older  

) or even young faces (The rest of us  

), come over and say Hi.

I think we have between 15 and 20 onboard including DaveJ and KarenJH, Mattbin and his little lad Adam, Clownfish, Orca, Big Neill and numerous others.

Must have been a bit slow and missed this posting Daz, I'll get you for that one, old face indeed.

Looking forward to it, even if it does mean diving with you again, oh well suppose having the joy of seeing your better half means I must make sacrifices I suppose.

Catch u soon mate.

Basking sharks - hear our call, we want you there that weekend.

I'll be down there that weekend (Fri to Mon) with my club, diving with Porthkerris Diving Centre.

Don't fear, Matt - we ticked the 'baskin sharks required' box.

Dan
we are booked on a couple of dives out of Porthkerris, so we may well bump into each other,
where are you staying, Adam & I are at the Three Tuns, I think the Massive are camping/caravanning close by.

Well done with the Sharks, like to see someone try and get one of those beauties in a good bag!

We're staying in a couple of caravans, so it may be the same place, though I don't know the details as I haven't been involved with organising it.

So if you see 12 people crammed into 2 caravans, that'll be us.  Or maybe 11 people in 2 caravans and me in the tent I'm taking with me...

Go large, massive Bristols

Have a great time,

Noel

We promise to try to leave everything intact and not scare anything away.

I draw the line at trying to pin a basking shark to the reef with my knife, just so it is still there for team bunny to see though

Dan be good to meet up and put a face to a name and all that stuff.  We are staying at Sea Acres caravan site,  despite what Matt say's we are most definitely not camp! (Oh sorry camping, now I see what he mean't).

Rib,  the cat was fully booked.  Not that I'm fussed it makes little difference once you have thrown yourself off  

Shame Giles is no longer there, he always made rib dives quite entertaining.  Two speed, f*ckin quick or suicidal.

I think we're on the cat on Sunday and Monday, not sure about Saturday since some people are shore diving while others are on a boat.

What can I expect of the local dive sites?  Other than hundreds of Baskin Sharks, obviously

Well the shore diving near the MOD building is very nice, there are a couple of pinnicles, some gullys and plenty of life.  Sea life around the area includes Wrasse, John Dorries, Cuttlefish, Lobster, crabs, blennies, dogfish and apparently some congers off to the left hand side (I'm a gonna try and hunt them down this year).

Off shore there are some nice wrecks, pretty broken up - The Volney and the Mohegan + others.  The Manacles reef is covered in life, jewel anemones.

Conditions - we have not had anything worse than 6m vis and currents are usually quite light.  

Basically it's fantastic.

Oh and did we mention all the basking sharks

(Right that puts a curse on seeing them then  

)

We have Daz cursing the Basking sharks and me cursing the weather/viz. Gonna be a good one, even if most of its in the pub.

Pulled my second stages apart last year and stopped a pesistant leak, showed me how to do it for myself too.
