Unfortunately Martin and I can't make the next one - did I mention we'd be in Hurdhada, I can't remember if I told you

Clear seas, lots of fish, hot sun.......

Donna

 

[Donna]

Hmmm - I meant Hurghada!!!! Duh....must be the excitement!

Can’t wait for the next meet, rearranged my return flight from Italy just so I could make it and see all you mad fish people again. Have sorted out two pool sessions a week with two separate scuba clubs in Cardiff, cant get in the pool with fin/fins unless you get with an existing club. If any one is in the area needing a place to train just let me know, could use a buddy. Going to get as much practice as I can with this new monofin of mine. Have used it once already and it feels great!
See you all soon.

Hi Dan
keep me posted on the Cardiff sessions

I might be up for some of that - Cardiff is not far from Bristol

Sam

 

[Dan Sidoli]

Hi Sam,
I went for the first time last Wednesday to the pool at UWIC Uni. The scuba club have said i can keep going from now on, only problem is the pool dose not have a lot of space so you have to make the most of it but any wet time is a bonus.
Im going to the pool again tonight as there is another scuba club training. Will let you know how it go's.
With any luck i will have a Monday and Wednesday session.
L8er People.

P.S.
Have been reading all the posts on the freediver web site running up to Cyprus and to say im gutted I missed the comp is an understatement!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dan Sidoli]

Bit of useless general info for everybody. Don’t know if you guys are aware but there is a £70millian development underway in Cardiff Bay. On the 80 acre site is planned an ice rink internal artificial snow slope full athletics stadium shops flats etc. The best thing they are building though is an Olympic size pool (50m!!!!!!). It’s a 10 year project that started last year but im very happy to say the first thing they started on was the pool. I was there for the first dig as I was doing some surveying for the access roads. The pool has a completion date for the end of next year which aint to long really.
Cant wait!!!!

[Rémi]

Thanks Sam for updating my name with a I
I don't like this crap Y
Next step will be the accent on the é

 

[samdive]

tell me how to do the accent and it's yours!

 

[Rémi]

I think the easiest is to just copy the "é" from somewhere (my thread for example)
Otherwise you have to add a new keyboard language from the control panel/keyboard options and then change from English to French when you need.

However, I was just kidding, "Remi" is ok

 

[samdive]

OK Rémi

see you Saturday!

 

[Observer]

Alt 130

Alternatively, you can hold down the "Alt" key, and while holding it down type in 130, then release the "Alt" key. Like so: é

 

[samdive]

see you all tomorrow about 9.30

anyone camping? anyone got room in a tent/spare tent?

Sam

 

[alexluchetti]

definitely up for camping this time. have got a 3man tent (new so i have no idea how to put it up) which so far only has me in it so if you need somewhere to rest your sleeping bag i would imagine that there is space!

alex

 

[samdive]

thanks Alex - will see what the weather is like and might take you up on that!

Sam

 

[samdive]

big thanks to everyone who made it along this weekend.

Congratulations to everyone who got a PB - whether it was in Constant Weight (dave, lars, remi, alex - any more?) or for putting up a tent in record time (alex? lars? fin?)


lovely and warm in the water, nice sized group of about 15 of us and our usual slick organisation and top notch scuba team - many thanks
and see you again soon

Still some spaces on the cornwall trip - 4th Sept boat and shore dive on the Manacles, 5th Sept - boat dive on the Scylla - scubies or freebies or both welcome

Hey Naomi,
did you ask Antonella? It must be her, ask if she used to go out with a member of the Ricci family.
I will bring a copy of my brother’s music to the next meet, if you like dance or trance music i think you will like it. He’s trying to get as many opinions on his music as he can.
