In diving, legend abounds. Saturday at the A-Frames saw a new legend born. Myself, Jester, Captain Al, The Wylie Fox and Sony. Had all decided to have a quick dip followed by "beer and medals" - whatever that means, given Scotland's strict dink drive laws and the complete absence of medals.
Jester and I knew exactly we wanted to do. Regular readers will recall that we spotted some beautiful anemones at a less visited part of the site that we wanted go back and photograph. This was our first chance to do so. the Wylie Fox had decided that she wanted to bumble along behind us, leaving Captain Al and Sony to do their own thing.
Our dive was nice enough. We found the anemones but they were closed over having probably been disturbed by an errant seal or diver. So we bumbled on spotting a nice scorpionfish and some dragonets. It was a nice wee dive.
We came back to the surface after about an hour to find Captain Al animatedly talking about their encounter with Colin the Conger. Well, with no real interest in doing a second dive initially. I quite fancied a wee trip back down to feed Colin. So Al led myself and Sony back in for the second dive.
As it turned out, he was entirely unable to find Colin again on the second dive. However, Colin found me later that evening......on Facebook. It seems a legend has been born.
