Every now and again, being a member of the Historical Diving Society throws up a chance to dive somewhere unusual. These places have normally been rivers, docks and reservoirs, which can be quite interesting dives as they are not the sorts of places that you normally dive in scuba gear, and when you are diving […]
Its November 15th, and its time for another night dive in Stoney Cove, and another chance to practice getting used to night diving, something that I am decidedly short of experience on. I head over to the Cove after work, and am diving with Freeflow again, so meet up in the car park, or in […]
OK, so it is the day after Halloween, but its a halloween dive anyway, and its a night dive at Stoney Cove with David Morris. I arrive after work, and get kitted up and we are into the water by ten to seven. The plan for this dive is to head down the road to […]
Well, after going a whole eleven days without diving at Stoney, I end up back there after the weather takes a turn for the worse and we have a dive down south blown out. Chris Adams joins me and we queue nice and early in order to get a decent space down at the cove. […]
I’m home from the lovely warmth of Tenerife, and it is time to try and get back into the normal diving that is the UK. So, I’ve arranged a dive with David Morris (Freeflow) at Stoney on a Wednesday evening, as I don’t really do many night dives, and I want to build up a […]
Well, the final days diving dawns, and we only have one dive planned for today, as we need to allow time after this before the flights the following afternoon. We get down to the Orlando and collect the kit, and then head up the TF1 all the way around to Punta Prieta. I remember this […]
Another day, another dive. Or two. Todays diving was at Mar Azul and El Puertito. Hurrah, more turtles! We started the morning at Mar Azul, dropping in at the usual entry point, and slowly winding our way down over the rocks and over the drop off down to 29 metres, looking for Rays and other […]
Oh it is such torture, writing about these dives and the holiday after the event, but not as much torture as having to endure them in the first place. OK, so if you believe that, you will believe anything. Today’s dives were pulling in the diving required for my Deep Dive specialty, so we spent […]
I had a very relaxing first half to the day here, as I sat out the first dive as my ears had been giving me gyp overnight, so I decided to give them a risk on the deeper dive, and then see how I felt for the afternoon’s shallower dive. The first dive of the […]
Day 3 of the diving dawns as all days seem to in Tenerife, warm and sunny. Its going to be a special day today, as this afternoons dive will mark my 100th dive, and what better place to do it than out here.
After the traditional lazy start to the morning, we get in the bus […]
