‘Diving Dude’, ‘Odin’… names to conjure with….. names that were so very familiar……. Mattbin, Tom, Adrian Kelland and of course the Domestic God Ian, now known as Bendy! It was in this august company that I was going to be spending the weekend at Lyme Regis diving on yet another Yorkshire Divers gig.
I had […]
It would seem that a requirement of a divers bar b que in Cornwall is scallops. Having been invited to one and as the host had a rib off we went in search………certainly beats getting them from Sainsbury’s!
The weather had been very poor for diving on the south coast but all seemed fairly calm in […]
This is the third time I have dived this wreck in the last couple of months but I never get tired of it. I took an additional macro lense down with me to try out, I hadn’t used it much and felt this was a good time. Unfortunately the visibility on the Hera was […]
You’ll see some free-swimming congers on this one……….so I was told! Having only ever seen one conger before and that was only the head, I was looking forward to this!
This was another early evening dive down in Cornwall but this time on WestBay Lass going out from Falmouth.
The Epsilon was a Dutch steamship that was […]
Being intrepid explorers at heart we launched the RIB from Rock and set off to try and find what looked like a reef on the charts. Time and again we chugged over the place where it should be. According to the charts it covered quite a large area coming up to a pinnacle at […]
There was talk of blind folding me when the subject of shore diving came up again. Fortunately we were going to a site that I had already dived so it was deemed unnecessary on this occasion. As much of Cornwall gets so overrun by visitors there are some shore dives that the local divers like […]
When I heard about our chosen dive site I was reminded about the time I dived the Swan River in WA and didn’t take my camera as I thought there would be nothing much to photograph…………how wrong I was! With anemones as big as tea plates and the most gorgeous green-lined paper bubble I could […]
As we arrived we could see the seals clambering off their rock disturbed by the engine noise as we gradually drew nearer. Watching them splash into the sea alarmed by having their peace and quiet interrupted I hoped they might join us on the dive as our destination was right in between the rocks.
This dive […]
I never thought I would hear myself say these words ..….great, theres another football match! ……but on this particular occasion it meant good viz without the multitudes of divers that usually swarm all over the Scylla on a weekend. It was Sunday and we were back on the south coast with a fairly early start, […]
A trip out on the rib but not to dive. This time it was to use the GPS and fish finder in order to try and locate a particular wreck, also to confirm and log the location of the Spheen that we had dived a fortnight before. As we weren’t diving we took along ‘the […]
