Monthly Roundup - Nov 06
The month started off with a couple of Sundays spent diving down in Weymouth on the brand new diving boat Scimitar. The first was another Yorkshire Divers gig , the second was just a last minute decision. As the weather looked good I was just trying to get in another days diving as its getting a bit cold for me now. Whilst sea temps are ok, its getting warmed up between dives that’s a problem. Many of the boats are now in for the winter with only a handful operating over the winter months, so I think it was probably my last sea dive this year. However, having done over 90 dives all over the UK this year it has been a good one.
Also had a very interesting visit to the Thames Valley Police Search and Recovery Unit near Reading and a couple more articles went on the Travel Dive site. A spectacular drift dive in Skye and a second article about things that can be visited during surface intervals etc that tell ‘The Story of Scapa’. It was really inspired by Bob Anderson skipper of MV Halton. Like many of the skippers up there he is passionate about Scapa and its history, and sees it as ‘more than just a diving venue’
