* * UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY * *

Haven't dived since Xmas 2005 when I qualified on EANx and Wreck. Suffered an injury to my knee skiing in Feb '06 and haven't really been able to dive. Did a Scuba review last February and I could barely walk afterwards; I'm gutted because I love diving...doesn't stop me wearing nothing but Seven-tenths T-Shirts though :lol:
 
7/10s are out 4th element is in...

My club parted ways with our local pool and with it we stopped training novices, now we're a club of experienced divers (all twinset or rebreathers) and charter a hardboat on the south coast at least twice a month. This weekend it's the HMS Swordfish (submarine in about 40m) and at the end of the month it's the Moldavia (P&O liner in 54m)...

Let me know if you ever fancy a dive!

20m vis? I've heard it's been good recently but that's amazing!
Will let you know how it is for me at the end of the month.

Yep it sure was, I could see the wreck laid out in front of me from around 25m or so :D :cool:
Good viz in the UK isn't as rare as many people (not just divers) would have us believe....as I'm sure you know :cool:
I was showing a guy at work some video footage I took a few years ago & he didn't believe me when I said it was filmed just 11nm south of Plymouth until he saw in some of the shots the divers wearing drysuits :D

What are you diving? 40min at that depth racks up a serious deco penalty... unless you're on a rebreather?

Yep :D Been diving the unit since 03 & wouldn't dive anything else now.
Total in water time was 80mins, so deco was around the 30 - 35min mark which isn't too bad.
I don't tend to notice the difference too much until I dive with an OC buddy....one dive on HMS POW in the South China Sea springs to mind, we'd had a similar bottom time of around 35 - 40mins (at 60 - 69m), but he'd got an extra 60mins more deco than I had :eek:

He went home after the trip & bought an RB :lol:
