Just a scallop dive a bit closer into the harbour. Was very light underwater so made us feel like we were a lot shallower. Lots of scallops and edible crabs about. David took quite a few scallops it has to be said!

As we got back into shore there was a demo from the RNLI so they whisked him off in a lifeboat on O2 to be air-lifted by a chopper..... am sure they just wanted a real-life display!
