OK I know its summer and we/I should be in the Briney but I had a good excuse.
Nitrox course - only place we could meet the Instructor and Lou/Caroline and check out my boys dry-suit all in one day.
All 4 of us passed the course, can you fail? So we could use Devils gas for our Farnes trip in two weeks.
The boys neck seal didnt let any water in, mind it didnt let any blood through either, might just be a tad tight. Lou reckons I have a style all of my own from the bus stop. I didnt think she had recognised me, I think it was another diver.
2 dives one on Nitrox the other on air left me feeling a lot less tired than usual, although the slide show almost put me to sleep. Well worth the effort, we shall be using it for the moment to build in a safety reserve and a safer dive.
Oh yeah - trip report - Stoney was full and viz was poor, not as poor as Wraysbury when Mark went but not as clear as it has been in the past. Water temp 20 something - nice and warm in the dry suit so didnt really notice.
