OK, so here is a brief report of the Farnes gig, on June 1,2 and 3.
The trip was organised by Ian@1904, and after being picked up by Chas49, we made our way north, arriving in Beadnell about 11pm, after a long trip up the A1. The following morning dawned lovely. Nice weather, and totally flat […]
OK, so here is a tale of high drama, and exploits and general derring-doo. OK, so maybe it isn’t, but it *is* an account of our Bank Holiday weekend’s diving in Weymouth/Portland. I had never dived this area before, so when I found the online booking system for the shuttle boats from the Breakwater dive […]
This weekend sees the return of Team Rudolph to the world of salty sea diving
Having not been in the ocean since diving from Brighton between Christmas and the New Year, we’re off with a few friends down to Weymouth to do some diving on the shuttles that run out of Portland. We have […]
OK, so Stoney Cove isn’t a wonderful dive off the coast somewhere, but it is the perfect venue for me to dive my newly acquired Buddy TekWing for the first time, and try and get used to it so that I can dive it at the Weymouth weekend in a fortnights time.
I had arranged to […]
Its time for that joke again!
Well, last weekend saw the annual pilgrimage by divers down to the Custom House area of London, just outside docklands to the Excel exhibition halls for the London Internation Dive Show for 2007. I must say that I was quite disappointed by the number of retail stands this year, […]
I haven’t posted much on here recently, so this is a quick catch up post…
Diving:
18th February @ Stoney Cove
Two quick bimbles with Charles Rogers from YD. The first dive we went down the road, around the cairn and the coach, before coming up the wall and plodding around the ledge. The second dive we did […]
It was the end of January, and as normal reports are coming in all over the forums that the weekends diving is going to be blown out again. After a couple of messages, Gary (WWD) is happy for a plop into Stoney Cove, so we meet up there at about 7.30 or so, and after […]

Its New Years Eve, and we’ve arranged to meet up at Stoney for one last dive in 2006. This is all Freeflow’s fault, and its pretty chilly, as I stand in the car park kitting up. I’m waiting for Gareth to arrive, so that we can check out his weighting problems from the diver the […]
Well, as a post Christmas pudding dive, it was meant to be two dives out of Brighton Marina onto the wreck of the Pentrych. All seemed great, the weather was clear and dry ,and the sea was an absolute millpond. I have never seen the sea so flat, not even in summer.
So we load up […]
