Now it's on Saturday, I can go. Cool
Just off the phone to Ian,this dive is now on saturday (as some of us have work to go to :rolleyes:) with HW at 12.05.
Oh and Lindz if your reading this,your diving the pipe with me on the second dive :D
Saturday is fine for me :D
Ian - Can you post up the Dive Plan you want us to follow.

Now we are talking.:p
I will be there. Would be nice to have the correct gas beforehand though so a Dive plan would be a help.;)
Maximum 45M? Is it worth planning deeper than 40?
I only ask cos I've never done the Kintyre and reports suggest 40 Max is the norm. EAN28? or Tyre Gas? Deco on EAN50?
Any other East Coasters going looking to car share? (I get lonely.:D)
40m? On the 14th the seabed at the bow was at 35m with the bow rising a couple of metres above it. we dropped to what down past where the deck dissapears and hitting the seabed there we were a sniff under 40m.
Of course if you want to go further.... ;)
Edited to add: that was near to slack at HW, 1730 hrs

Don't think I can quite manage an hours bottom time at 45M.:rolleyes:
Should we be maybe consider 60 minutes dive time total instead? ;)
Hmmm, are you boat diving it? Because if you're shore diving there's no way you're getting to depth that quickly... :rolleyes:

Yep. That's what I thought from reading the dive reports
Come on guys, I've never done this dive before but would really like to get the most out of it. How about a serious dive plan from you young whippersnappers? :p

I think 60 mins bottom time was a bit tongue in cheek :p
A hard one to plan due to the time it takes to get there but that's what VR3's are for :rolleyes::D

So are you using a VR£ Loudy? I'm considering one.... just not quite yet... probably (and probably never if swmbo finds out what they cost :eek: ) ;)

Aye got mine a couple of months ago and it's superb,fleabay bargain £310 with only 7 dives on it :D.
Cost another £98 to upgrade it to trimix though :cool:

That'll do for me.:)
I'm happy to rely on my computer to keep me right but need a serious plan before I get my bottles filled. At the very least, the max depth has to be realistic. Is 45M a realistic plan, or can I get EAN28, and limit myself to 40M without regretting it later?
NB I will need to beg, borrow or steal a stage from somebody if possible.

I would dive it on air yogi to keep everyone's profiles the same and i assume Ian wants to see you guy's at 45M,after all that's what you'll be certed to :)
A dive plan will be done and followed,Ian won't want you using a computer on a training dive.

I was going to ask how you're finding it... but I guess I know now ;):D

Wasn't sure of it at first as i thought it was a bit conservative but soon realised how the deep stops work.

Sorry Guys,
Gonna have to miss this again!:(
We're doing a bit of building work on the house and there's a load of concrete blocks being delivered which need to be shifted, and built into a conservatory, by Sunday.
Think my weekends are going to be busy for the next few weeks.:(
I WILL do this wreck, and complete my Tech Nitrox course, someday. Honest.:eek:
