OK, so last year - with the volume of dives I did - I found it difficult keeping up. In fact, the volume of diving somewhat overwhelmed my desire to write the blog.
So for 2020, I'm taking a different approach. I'm not going to blog every dive, just the out of the ordinary stuff, the cool stuff, and maybe some product reviews as and when I invariably buy new kit. :)
So what did I omit in 2019 that I should of mentioned? Well:
- Lanzarote Technical Dives
- Scapa Flow, Orkney
- Clyde Wrecks, Glasgow
- A second trip to Kinlochbervie, Northwest Scotland
- Qualifying as a Seasearch Observer
Aside from that, the usual run of the mill stuff totalling 113 dives in the calendar year. For some of you full time dive pros that's nothing, but for a recreational diver who has a full time job that's not an insubstantial number.
So I've dived twice already this year - once on New Years Day with Eastwood Divers and once with Deathbox Didier.
The latter turned out to a lovely swim around Anchor Point, Loch Fyne that ended up a glorious nudibranch hunt and, by deliberate coincidence, my 700th dive. I had quite intentionally selected a buddy who:
- was more competent than me (although this is highly debatable 😃)
- wasn't a club diver who would expect me, as an instructor, to look after them
- could help me make it a fairly lengthy memorable affair (70 minutes and ultimately limited by the cold water and not air)
Old Deathbox was the natural choice and what a fine choice he was!
