A good (for once) TV programme about diving ,including free diving can be found on BBCiplayer just search for To boldly go down... BBC4, was on a few days ago but was told about by a mate ,and i thought it was well worth watching !!
Good find Mirror. My wife left the room after the samba :duh
Are you sure it was not because you were getting a bit over excited at Sara Campbell ......I was !!
Off to visit Anthony at Paignton now to see his new gear.
He sells some nice 7mm socks. It took two and a half hours in the water last night to make my feet properly numb
Well done Shiny. I am sure that will inspire a few others to get in the water.
Getting changed into my wetsuit in a car park in mid January is not something i normaly do. Well today the weather was to good not to give it ago. My last time in was mid October. My suit seems to have got smaller since then!!
It was 1 hour before low tide. The sea had that blue look about and the sun was shinning. The viz was about 5m but the low winter sun give it that first light look. It wasnt cold for the time of year. I didnt have my D3 with me so i cant tell you a temp. Plenty of kelp around still. I have dived this area in December before and its been bare of kelp.
Each dive i felt lucky but didnt see anything,not even small wrasse or pollack but my mojo was buzzing so i knew it was just a matter of time. Then there he was in a kelp covered gully,i was side on to him and lined him up. I stoned him with a good head shot,others bolted from the gully at the same time. A great start to the season with a January shore dived bass of 4lb5oz.
I would say a late bass Gaz. The kelp was still thick and strong looking. The bass never go far and we do catch them rod and line all year round its just the weather that puts a start and end to the season.
