Round and Round the Mulberry..
Whilst waiting to actually get a dive in the sea I thought I would write a brief description of a site I enjoy very much, but which I will probably see little of this year due to the boat I regularily used leaving the area.
This site is off the coast of West Sussex in the south of England. It lies at around 10m deep and makes a refreshing change from the tendancy that UK divers sometimes have of assuming the best is always deeper. Continue reading this entry »
Little boys
I am pleased with myself, I have managed to refrain from ranting for a good while, but today the day has come for a good old letting off of steam.

Too nice a day for the show..
Well, today was the first day of LIDS - the London International Dive Show, held at Excel in the east end of London. We had planned to go along and have a mooch around, but a combination of a late night last night, a touch of spring cold and the first of the spring weather finally hitting us meant that we gave it a miss.
Early reports on YD indicate that the number of bargains to be had were down again and some of the bigger makes were missing. I wonder if the time has come to make the show a show again. The attraction of it these days for me are being able to compare alot of kit in one place, to fondle and ask questions about things I may never be able to buy and to listen to some excellent and interesting talks. The crowds barging and pushing around stalls that are packed too tightly together dulls the shine of that. It makes it all too much like hard work.
So, today we enjoyed the sun, the daffodils that have finally shown their faces over the last week and had a little play with a new camera bought last week. this picture was taken with it in the garden, and commemorates the first ladybird of the year!
