Despite having tolerated the Kingmaker for two dives on Sunday it seems that I was to endure a few more hours of his chat this evening as we headed up to Loch Fyne for a cheeky sunny, Tuesday night dive.
When we arrived, the gentle breeze ensured that the midgies were kept at bay.that made the kit up very pleasant indeed. Hitting the water first the Kingmaker declared visibility of about 10m, but the reality was that was looking horizontally above the halocline. Below it, the water cooled drastically to 8c and the vis fell to 7m, but it was dark.
We finned down, passing a nice Yarrells Blenny swimming out in the open. I went to take picture, but it seems my camera had some condensation on the inside. So I'll need to replace the moisture munchers. As such there are no photographs.
We continued down to just beyond 38m where I now reckon my nitrogen narcosis fuzzy fun feelings kick in, but only mildly. That's three dives that I've started to feel the same sense of fun at about the same depth.
It was a nice night, a decent dive and the moisture munchers have been ordered.
