This was the first dive of the year in the UK,
ok not a good dive but as some of you divers can guess, it was good to get back
in the water.
Sadly the viz on the Bomber was very poor so only close up
shots of a bit of metal could be seen. Dan had a very long fight with a lobster
and a very big lobster at that. Sadly it was a female with eggs so it had to go
back in its hole. This lobster had lost one of it claws but still give Dan a
real fight!
The second dive was a drift dive over the Bembridge ledges
again rather murky and a bit shallow to start with. Dan and I moved over to the
East, not much of a tide running, to get to deeper water. The deeper water was
a bit clearer, not much, but the bottom was far more interesting. The rocks had
some rather unusual if not weird shapes. That made for rather interesting
diving techniques with the drift not to get jammed in them.
Interestingly at the deeper depths we finally found some
current for the drift dive, which was good. Sadly we had to end the dive as we
were getting to the hour limit, well a bit over it.
