It isn't going to work as a link and i don't want to learn how to make it work as a link, i f***ing hate computers. You can work out how to do it.

The talk about the Scylla was interesting, The Schiller was ok as well. The Mary rose excavation 2003 video made the afternoon bearable but Mike Pitts "Filming deep wrecks" was dull as arseholes.  He's done a bit of work on Blue planet and has an amazing resume, he couldn't be any more up himself if he'd tried.  McCartney, larn, Oldham were charming and i might have blagged a dive on the Salcombe gold wreck.

It's just as well you didn't come all the way down here for it, it was the dullest one i've been to in the last 5 years.  If it was your 1st visit to the conference, you would've been disappointed and wouldn't go to next years.   You're right about Richard Larn, he's a lovely bloke and could make even the most boring subject sound interesting.

I drop the Mrs off at the Eden project and go down to the Shipwreck museum.  Cracking day out.  A load of the stuff in there got given by a local diver who tells stories of making his own drysuits and doing mental dives on air in the olden days.  He'll keep you entertained for hours.
