Shark Tracker - 06/06/2014

Like many other divers, I dive because I want to see and encounter the rich variety of marine life. Here in Scotland we have relatively few shark species to enjoy - although some of the species we do have are beautiful and spectacular. So it was with some excitement that I followed the story of a tagged great white on the BBC News website. The shark came within one thousand miles of the UK coast before heading south.

However, I didn't realise you can track the path of a whole variety of sharks at http://www.ocearch.org/. This is amazing stuff - check it out.

What, No Laura? - 20/02/2014

So tonight I'm going diving with the Thursday Night Dive Crew, but Laura isn't coming. That in itself isn't cause for an awful lot of sadness, worry or disappointment. In fact, my worry is more that if we don't have some cool sea life interactions then Laura will claim to be the one with the animal mojo. This is simply unacceptable. :D

Given that it is not impossible, just highly unlikely, I think I'm just going to tell her we saw this....
