Had two really good dives at the 'Conger Dive' today. Saw Big lobster, huge crabs, tiny nudibranchs (thanks to Bubblemaker:D ) and lots of fish and about 5 congers. Was good to meet Bikerbill and CharlieMcg. Shame more didn't manage, but it was a good day and the SUN even came out. Thank you all for a lovely day. Congratulations to Jon and Saskia on finalining their open water assesments just to pass the exam! Well done:D :D
Yeah, it was a great day. Was brilliant to meet you all: sorry that we weren't able to make it to the Village Inn afterwards. Is that you just returned from the pub now, dg @ 11pm? :eek:
Couldn't believe how nice the weather turned out & how great the diving conditions were. The most congers I've ever seen including a couple of massive brutes! :D
Maybe arranging a CA.com dive is a guarantee of fantastic conditions (although evidently this doesn't apply to night dives :rolleyes:)!

I just got back from Maldives at 2pm on Sunday. Funnily enought, I couldn't make the CA dive but the day looked fab. Glad you enjoyed it. Trip report from 'MV Sea Spirit' to follow.

I've got no idea what i'm doing in this photo, but it looks like i'm not very impressed with my wee mum!!! Ah, perhaps i'm removing my fins!! that would explain the look of anger/pain!
anyhoo, it was a grand day. I had a nice wee dive with DG, and thank you to Bikerbill for the lift up there.
need to get more people there the next time.
I'd like to organise a CA hardboat weekend in the Sound next spring ...
