Anniversary Plunge - 26/07/2014

Today Gill and I have been married for 13 years. To celebrate I woke Gill up at 7.00am, packed the dive kit in the car and sped up to the A-Frames, Loch Long for a quick dive before heading back to Glasgow to enjoy the Commonwealth festivities and a farewell lunch for a friend -  I know, I'm an incurable romantic. :/


The site was already busy when we arrived as a result of the presence of Deep Blue, an east coast based school. Fortunately, as they were all students we kitted up quickly and entered the water before they could get in to ruin the vis (which as luck would have it was good). 


Gill had been wanting to go a bit deeper than she normally goes, so our plan was to go down to around 25m hang about for a bit and then come back.



The dive started well with a large dogfish in the shallows, before we headed down  to 25m in 6-8m vis. To be honest I've only visited the deeper frame once or twice, but Gill had never been there so it was a novelty for her.


The whole dive I was using Gill's reg set. Her mouth piece is uncomfortable and her SPG leaked air constantly. I'll b glad to get my Mares Abyss Navy back.
