One of the finest dives I have done was last year from Selsey when we dived the U90 as part of the YD selsey gig. With fantastic vis and an intact wreck it was a truly great days diving. Having had such a great dive last year the next time I dived it would have to be exceptional in order to compare. Whilst the vis was not as good as last year the wreck was. After the dive today Simon commented that the poorer vis meant he concentrated more on the wreck, and this was also the case for me today. (more…)
Warwick Deeping on the YD Shandy Portsmouth Gig July 23, 2006
Posted by Mark Gilmour in : Dive Reports, UK diving, Wreck Diving , add a commentI booked onto this weekends worth of diving as soon as Paul emailed me last year and said “we going to do the isle of wight wrecks again, are you up for it?” Following on from last years Selsey Gig and stunning diving, I made no hesistation in booking on. I put myself down for two days worth, Friday and Monday.
Friday was Warwick Deeping and Louis.
With a leisurely meet time of 10.45 and ropes off at 11.45 I meandered over to Otterbourne to pick up my twinset from being filled and made my way down to Gosport. On the way I met up with Sean whose cylinders I had picked up on Wednesday at Wraysbury. After all that I was still down there for 9.45. I met up with the other early bird Dave Archer and started to slowly load my kit onto the boat. (more…)
No trip to the Farnes or St Abbs for us this year July 10, 2006
Posted by Mark Gilmour in : General , add a commentUnfortunately, Lisa and I have had to cancel our places on the 4 day YD dive trip to St Abbs and the Farne Islands this September. With the impending house move coming up we decided it was best to let our spaces go and see if anyone else can fill them. As it stands at the moment I think one of our spaces for the Farnes section of the weekend is taken.
I went along last year and it was an excellent couple of days, first of all in St Abbs, and then a day in the Farnes with the seals.
So if you’re interested let me know, details are on Yorkshire Divers forum
