while uploading the Port Napier footage (video to follow) i had the River Orchy footage at the back end of it.
i spent about 10 seconds editing this for whats its worth.
as ever it took me longer finding a backing track.
i didnt have the balls to put it on my youtube account, so here it is at metacafe.
i will most likely remove it sometime soon.
so if you want the tea-stained water, 1/2 meter viz, washing machine, pinball experience, click here (http://www.metacafe.com/watch/754663/river_orchy_waste_of_video_tape_just_for_laughs/)
Plockton weekend 4-6th August,
awsome diving and merriment.
After a nice leisurly drive to kyle of lochalsh
to meet up with our cumbernauld SAC buds,
Our skipper Niall took us to conservation Bay
where 12 of us splashed. The dive was fantastic
drifting along with the current, lots of life,
interseting coral,nudies,anenomes,shoals of saith,
sponges, but then the current then changed, to take you
clockwise around the bay, a most enjoyable experience,
it was just bein drawn into this huge eddy,lifting and dropping you off,
fantastic.vis 10+
After dive we all headed to our sumptious accomodation, Station Bunkhouse
in Plockton (well recomended,We're goin back their next year)
to get scrubbed up and hit the sleepy village early evening.
We all had a blast (chris and Davie were sorely missed)
At 20.00 we all had co-co and said our good-nights so we could get up nice,early and refreshed
to dive saturday.
Niall picked us up at Kyle pontoon at 11.00 to take us to the Port Napier wreck.
We were all feeling tickety-boo, cause we all got a great nights sleep!
I found this wreck awsome, I did this 3 years ago when I was training
and it all went mammaries up, so it was great to bag 2 dives on this
amazing site, I was diving with Stewart who was shooting some video
so I tried to stay well out of way, the vis was fabulous considering the amount of divers
(12 of us bawbags)
The wreck has lots of entry points to penetrate and exit easily,no current at all
a very enjoyable easy dive 18m max for me.55 mins
It was great to discuss the wreck with others
and get their points and views
We went back in at 13.00 for dive two,
current had picked up a wee bit,
tide had ebbed so a good bit of the wreck is visible
from the surface, We all had a fantastic days diving
with loads of stories to tell. It even stayed dry enough for us to have a BBQ
thanks to Ros and co.
then We all headed to plockton for the music festival, but it was a wash out so then headed back to
our fantastic digs for much partying and more coco.
