EXCITEMENT!!!!!!

I'm going on my first dive trip this weekend. We're off to Portsoy, to dive at the back of the
harbour wall. I've shown you the delights of Portsoy before of course, here.

It's going to be a bit of a tight squeeze making all the equipment pick-up's and managing to get up
there on time. But I think we may have the arrangements cracked. It's likely to take us just over
an hour to get there, so I'll be on the move at stupid o'clock on Saturday morning. But given what
we've been told about the dive site, with "shallow reefs just off the harbour mouth", I can't wait.
All we're waiting for now, is to see whether or not the conditions are going to allow us to make the
dive. So it's hangs in the balance, until a phonecall on Friday afternoon, when we should be given
a decision. Fingers crossed!

But back to the present. We nipped out to Catherine's mum's house this evening for a spot to eat,
where I also snapped this evening's PAD. It's a vase just in case anyone's starting to worry about
strange practices!

I'm not sure either Pete or I know what cold water diving is! (And my coldest was 31d!)
Can't wait to hear all about it Dom! Good luck.

thought it looked a bit like a dalek

Great pattern and angle - has no sense of scale with no edges or reference points, I like it.

I'd never have guessed that this were a vase. Nice catch!
The dive trip sounds wonderful. I can't wait to hear about it.

The perspective makes this very interesting. Nicely done.

Watch you dont get your camera wet ! Have you got an underwater housing ?, it would be great to see some sub aqua shots !
