Wrasse & Rants



It has been a while!

Okay, so I have been rather slack for the last 9 months over adding to this blog, but I promise to make an effort from now on.  To summarise, the bits that have been missed…….

Trip to the Galapagos Islands for 10 days of liveaboard action, inlcuing 5 days up at Wolf & Darwin.  More sharks than I could ever have hoped for and a whopping 32 whale shark encounters over 6 dives at Darwin, including plenty of “one on one” time.  We then spent another few days kayaking down an Amazonian tributary, just the two of us and two guides.  Camping on the river’s edge, right in the depths of the rainforest and ending up at a brding lodge, only accessible by the river, no electric light or power - brilliant….although I now fully appreciate the Rain bit of rainforest.

 Friday night dives out of Falmouth ran pretty well up to Christmas, but after that the wind seemed to appear every weekend, right up into April, so the dive rate was somewhat down.  This drove us to warmer climes and a week’s diving in Tobago.  We stayed up at Speyside, and whilst the diving was good, it wasn’t mindblowing (I think the Gos has spoilt us) and we did sadly have our cash stolen from our locked hotel room, which was a definite downer on the stay.  Still, shortie diving in 27 degree water can’t help but make you relaxed :D

 Since then the weekend and Friday night dives have picked up again and we have got a few reallynice dives in over the last 3 weeks - hence I am reinspired to blog.  Watch this space!
