Epic drift dive with Ali g. Pretty fast drift especially when holding the SMB..... Got quite out of breathe when trying to catch up with Ali. Saw a handful of dogfish and smooth-hound and two thorn backed rays.... First sighting of one for me. A good few gunards down there too. Had a real nightmare swimming back to get a ships union Jack- nice treasure. Saw a massive Anchor which went whizzing past. Lots of hermit crabs, edibles and velvet swimmers on the sea bed of shells. Always amazed by the fact that the floor can be covered in what is effectively dead animals. Ali and I must have had a jet steam as passed two other pairs and definitely went further than the others. Wonderful dive..... One of the drift best I've had in the UK.

Swanage Valentine Tanks dive with Pete Whelpton. 12 people on boat so crowded on first tank plus tide still running so a bit difficult. We headed off to the other tank which was much better and then got back to the first tank before everyone else which was great, much better vis. Saw 2 conger eels, big crabs, lots of Pout and a big dogfish.
