No diving
I regret to report another non-diving weekend. There couldn’t be much argument about this one – the forecast gave the sea state as 10 – 14 ft offshore and I think most people would agree to give that one a miss. Current wave heights as I write are 4 – 7 ft offshore but decreasing. […]

Burns night and Haggis
After getting a dive away the previous week, we weren’t so lucky last weekend. Names on the board were a bit sparse to start with and with the forecast looking unpromising we cancelled.

RAS AL KHAIMAHand the HMS VANGUARD

DIVING THE TAHA
We managed to get 2012 up and running last Friday – by the skin of our teeth. Of the original eight names on the board, five dropped out for reasons of varying degrees of plausibility. Robin was on his first dive with us and “missing some kit” seemed to be the easiest problem to overcome. […]
