Diver's Notes

Cloudy and a few showers but it cleared up as we were gearing up. Met two freedivers who were heading out to do a spot of spear fishing.

Flat calm seas with almost no current. High tide was at 14:55hrs so it was nice and slack for our dive. The visability wasn't the best at 3-4m but we're used to that at this stage. It makes it more interesting in a way as you never know what's out ther in front or down below you.

At the end of the dive while we were taking of our equipment we met an Australian chap who had been in the special forces. He regaled us with tales of his diving escapades with the military. Interesting guy.

Nice dive in sandycove.
