Talking April Meet

The April meet at NDC is 24/25 April. Dives will be Sat am - meet 9.30am, Sat pm - meet 1.30pm and Sunday am - meet 9.30am. Max depth this time down to 45m.

We should also, hopefully, have our new line and pontoon.

There are also a few of us going down to Porthkerris in Cornwall for Easter weekend. If you are free and would like to join us for some scuba or some extreme snorkelling - let me know and I can help you find somewhere to stay.

see you all soon

Porthkerris At Easter

The trip at Easter sounds good. Count me in if the weather is good. I can bring my Zodiac boat. It takes 4 people in comfort. It has a set of launch wheels on the back so I can launch straight from any beach without a car or trailer.

Martin and I are definately ok for April meet and we will be there for the Saturday morning meet time, so Martin OK for scuba cover all weekend...

Sam, with regards to P/K at Easter, again, we're definately going but as we opened our mouths to the dive club, he has put us on his list to dive with the club! Will be a bit awkward if we tell him we're now going with someone else, especially as he'll be there as well! Anyway, would be good to try and do some freediving with you guys if you're planning any? Keep us posted....

Suits not arrived yet!!!!!!

Maybe we can do some shore stuff as well - personally I like the shore dive at P/K. The other thing to consider is Phil may have space on his rib if you fancy tagging on with us on a couple of the dives? But, Phil being Phil, he has no idea of itinery yet and probably won't until the day before!!!!!

Can I make one very small (well I hope it is anyway!) request for the April meet?

As I've never dived to grab a tag before, is there any chance we can have tags on the plate to grab? I don't care what depth they're at, as long as I can reach it Its just that when I was reading the rules about holding line and grabbing tag etc etc, it occurred to me that it maynot be as easy as it sounds and I'd like to have a go beforehand?

Please please please don't put yourselves out to accomodate my dum request - if its a problem, it doesn't matter, I'll just pretend!

Ho hum, off to parents evening now - what joy!!

Thanks guys

Donna x

Donna - it was already on the list. I want to make sure tags slide down the line ok so yes there will be some there - but we only have four spares so please don't drop it!

I'd never worry about Donna dropping things in the water at the NDC....

....not unless they're expensive and uninsured

Ha ha ha!!! And just think, I'll have gloves on as well

Anyway, so long as I don't have them near 'that spot' on the pontoon, it'll be fine!

Donna - for real class you want to bring the tag up between your teeth...

freedive Lisa balanced

Hello Chaps, I'm having to stay in America for longer than expected and have been really missing going to the NDC. However, I've been doing my best to keep up the training. I went ice freediving a couple of weekends ago!! And, today I went to a quarry that was about as green as the NDC. It was 5 degrees C at the surface and 4 degrees C at 15m!!! I'm looking forward to getting back into tropical Chepstow water! How warm is it there?
See you all in May, Lisa xx

We had Lisa working very hard today- on her tan.

She was a good sport, with the wind and cooler temps, and we had some good dives today.

She did fare better than Ted, who had to sun himslef like a lizard to stay warm.

I must say that my Elios suit kicked some serious butt today as I never felt a shiver. I never realized just how warm a custom suit could be.
