some where between Sunderland and Blythe but willing to go further afield if the weather is right most likely do a few trips around marsden bay if we have the weather only got a week off wana make the most of it
 
Hey, i'm in monkseaton and looking to get into free diving, and maybe spearfishing later on. I'd love to tag along with someone at some point, but at the moment im just trying to figure out what thickness suit i'm gonna need for year-round(ish) diving off tynemouth

NEWSFLASH: F*CKING COLD

So I managed the first outing of the year on Friday and the general consensus was cold...very cold. It was so bad that I did have to check my driving license to remind me what my gender was post dive! It was a typical early season dive that did not feel remotely fishy but it did clear a few Christmas cobwebs.

Hopefully Friday PM will allow a small vis window if this glorious weather stays settled.
 
I will give you a message once there's some viz Gee not on Facebook at the mo sorry

Where did you manage to get in was there any viz DafyddRees?
 
Absolutely nothing matey! I did not even bother putting a gun in my car so entertained my self with snooping under a few ledges, kidding myself that I would find a cod in a crevice.
 
I had a pop down South Shields beach today viz is slowly getting better probs a meter at the mo I hope your right about some viz this weekend a can't wait to get back in. Where abouts are you divin
 
Thanks for the update, I may pick your ear come Friday for a more up-to-date vis report

I have fished most of the Northumberland coast and have a few favoured spots that are very sheltered so my Mrs feels comfortable getting in but have not really explored any deeper marks due to lacking a serious spearo buddy as Broseidon never feels like making a trip oop Norf!

I found myself quite surprised to see some people fishing over towards Sunderland way around the gares and having relatively successful trips but I do not fancy fishing there in the slightest hah.
 
I want to start heading up north as there's to much silt around the mouth of the tyne takes ages for the water to clear we need to get a northeast meet arranged once there's some viz bit of networking for some dive buddy's

Walked the dog down to st mary's this afternoon, water didnt look too murky. Got most of my kit together, just waiting on my fins, looking forward to getting out for a swim at least.

about 1ft viz at st Mary's not even guna bother heading up the cost if it's like this
 
Didn't look good at Collywell today
