View Full Version : Monday Night Diving
Would anyone like to go for a couple of night dives on Monday 19th Feb?
Any where will do, as long as it is cold and wet!
Could manage monday during the day if that's any good as i'm nightshift.

My 'ho has changed her mind, so Monday during the day is good (for now!)
I'm currently doing my RYA Day Skipper theory course on Monday nights but once the final exam is out the way (12th of March) I'll be up for doing some Monday night diving, depending on shifts at work.
Based in Gourock, so most Clyde-based is within reach. Not done night diving though, so would need an experienced buddy for March-early April dives.

Hope that you all have some good diving! :cool:
Cancelled due to traffic at haggs that my buddy is stuck in.
I've now lost count how many dives ive had cancelled this year:(

i think there was an accident there earlier around 16:45, thats when the blue lights passed, the motorway (i see from my window) only started moving again about 19:00.
the weather looks miserable, probably best sitting with your feet up & a nice hot chocolate:D

That was me last year, so many called off for crappy east coast swells!:( Only one called off this year so far, hope that continues.

Aye, I noticed the accident as I was coming off the A80 on my way home, luckily it was on the opposite side. Noticed the traffic was queued all the way to the services at Stirling as we passed on the way up to Conger about 17:30.
A truly horrible night, trying to get your undersuit and drysuit on while sitting in the front of a car is not my idea of fun! :mad:

The conditions looked good, clear skies, sunshine, full tide, no rain for about five days, all the makings (??) of a good dive. This should be good. Stuck my head in the water, feck! could not see my knees let alone my feet!, vis was an appalling ½ meter at best. :mad: Grabbed each others BCD's and slowly descended into about 3 meters of water, vis improved to a whole whopping meter (Yee Haa!). At about 5 meters, the vis was at it's best of about 3 meters, this I could live with. Headed down and at 15 meters vis changed again, down to a meter (Oh bo**ocks!). After about 20 minutes and a maximum depth of 25 meters, I was freezing my proverbial off, set a back bearing and headed for the shore.
Not the best dive I've had. after the dive I found out I have a hole in my suit at the cuff, Ahhh!! that's why I was numb down my left side! Packed up and went round to 29 Steps where Davieg and tomy2tums were, they had far better vis than we did and it's only about 200 meters further up the loch, just my bloody luck! :confused:
Anyway, nice to meet you guys and I'm glad I could help, most of us have at one-time-or-another left a bit of kit at home so no sweat! :D

Friday afternoon was like that, viz at A-Frames was pretty pants so we headed round to Conger and once down below the murky stuff the viz wasnt quite so bad.
Anyone diving Wednesday night?????????
Myself and deafdiveuk are diving at the A-Frames on Monday night. Meeting at the site at 6pm ish
All welcome :)
I might make that !
Cool. Bring your stage then cause Tommy is taking mine in for a practice and he's borrowing it for the U74 trip.
Not doing anything long or deep just a practice.
I was hoping my new one would have been here today (Yes I have turned to the Darkside and purchased an Ali 7 to go with my Steel 7) but nope, they have not sent it yet ! I'll bring it along but there's not much gas in it.
Anyone fancy Finart on Monday evening (25th January)?
looking back at the visibility report I think our best chance of good viz will be at slack water. HW is at 7.25pm, so if we go in the water about 10 past 7 ... who knows ... ?
on the assumption that no-one wants to dive with me I won't bother charging my torch tonight then ... :(
Sorry mate. I'd normally be up for an apre work dip but I've been out all weekend.
im not working for the next month, come to think of it, i havent worked this month either :D so i shall be up for a dip almost (within reason) anytime.
but i cant manage tonight sorry, cars in the garage getting a dent nocked out thanks to my neighbour!:rolleyes:
