December 19th Dip

[samdive]

Just an easy going day with max 25m dive to keep everyone's gills moist and get away from Christmas shopping. Meet around 11 and dive til we are bored or cold....and then maybe have Sunday lunch somewhere.

no scuba cover hence the depth restriction.

Names on the list so far:

Sam
Remi
Alex
Bryn

as usual - let me know.

Which you can find on the left of this page:

I think the best would be to get some new footpockets.

See you on the 19th

[Donna]

Well it seems like she's got 9000 kids!!

Franck - no you missed me and my clean 30m dive!!!! It was a sight to behold when I came up with a big smile on my face, tag in hand and remembered to breath!!! So, you'll have to come and see me in Cyprus, or failing that, I'll be back for the comp in May, and with all that training I'll be doing in clear blue warm water - well just watch out

Take care and I'll stay in touch...

[the shrimp]

well.... i seems to be we got training place in cyprus now!!!

all best xxx
la crevette... ( the shrimp)

 

[Almostafish]

Damm right! You do know what you have started dont you Donna.....mass invasion. I will see you soonish too!

 

[Donna]

You're all more than welcome to come and visit, sure we can find you somewhere to cosy to sleep in our mansion!! Well thats what the kids think it is, I wouldn't go that far, but we do have space and will have a sofa bed or two.

No Franck, I haven't got a photo of 30m yet, but I will, very soon! Martin will take it while I'm on the Zenobia!!! I've also been reliably informed that I have access to 20m (for students) from the shore in a very sheltered site and can get much deeper than that if I want just by swimming out a little further - how exciting.

I've also found out there's a comp in Limassol on 16th Jan - static and dynamic. So, I've entered just for the fun and it will give me a good start point for my training - anyone else want to join in?

OK guys there is a "serious weather warning" out for Wales tomorrow with heavy snow forecast.

I am more than happy to give it a go but if you are driving far and it looks dodgy in the morning, don't feel like you have to come along. Give me a call and let me know in the morning....

very very cold in Bristol right now and due to snow all night!! I'm packing my gimp mask

[samdive]

well there were a couple of inches of snow on the car this morning but we had a wonderful day. The viz was about the best I have ever seen it in the lake - around 25m. We could look up and see everyone above and the whole underside of our pontoon lit up by bright sunlit. Everyone had lots of good, relaxed dives and Bryn showed us all up in the impromptu bubble ring contest. Thanks for coming guys! a balmy 9C in the water...

see you in January - if you want to come let me know what depth and we'll cover it - 15/16 Jan

merry christmas
