'cos I did!

For various reasons (some health related) I've not actually been diving
this year until today, and what a fantastic day I picked to get back
into the water again!

2 dives off Seeker out of Plymouth: The Maine and the Persia.

Viz. fantastic, couldn't see the wrecks for the fish, etc., etc.,
etc. ... Inspiration working a treat (as always!) Two thoroughly
enjoyable hours under water, and I even saw a John Dory, and I've not
seen one of those for years.

So did I. Went out of Weymouth, 12 divers booked on, most that turned up
were 8. I'd just like to thanks the others for paying for all that spare
room :)

Viz less than fantastic. All a bit gloomy really apart from on the Aolean
Skye. Had a cracking dive on there. Loads of fish and it's so big I'm
still finding new things to look at on it.

Already got the boat booked for 2006 trips. It's been a bit quiet this
year for a variety of reasons and I'd really like to make sure 2006 is
going to be a lot better.

That is a point that was discussed at length over several beers during the
blown out St Abbs trip...

...so out of that we have the possibility (or rather probability) of three
trips for 2006.

Me - Wrecks of the Forth (I'll do St Abbs again the year after maybe...)
Digs - Wrecks of the Clyde
The Weezles - Possibly the Summer Isles

I think it may be time for a dedicated thread for 2006 trips?

Cal, I don't think there is any need for a thread for 2006 trips, that
way no one commits to anything. I would suggest just doing it the
"normal" way and book a boat, put up a website page and have a link to
it from the UKRS website.

This is usenet. Threads don't last that long.
The oldest posts on my server are April which
is fine by me.

Now if anybody had diving in September.... I'm out this
weekend but the rest is all dry at the moment and all
my other activities are off line.

25-60m. South-east Coast preferably.
Chicken to the weather gods if we are well offshore.

So did we Gordon. A group of us, about half of which were UKRS divers
went to Exmouth and dived with Rich Tibbs. On the Saturday we did the
Empress of India (45 metres), Boma (32 metres). Saturday the Rotorua (57
metres), then Sunday the Medina (65 metres). A really great weekend.
