Stoney Cove - 9th Jan

Stoney Cove

The sun was out, but the air temp was a bit cool, especially in the shade. Great turn out for this time of year for the ProScuba clan. I did two dives, one realy nice deep dive to the Hydrobox - what viz!! superb.. as you will see with a couple of the pictures I took.

We had a double achievment today - Caroline got back in her dry suit and finished her Deep Diver Speciality and with this she became our newest and first Master Scuba Diver of 2011.

So well done and congratulations to Caroline


Thanks to the team for helping and i'll pop some pictures on shortly

Well done Caroline on achieving your MSD certification.

You'll be catching Mary soon !!!

An excellent 2 dives with trips for us to the wrecks twice, 3 wrecks then only 2 wrecks on the 2nd dive as Belinda had made herself invisible to Andy. Here are a few underwater pics. Will post others from above water tomorrow hopefully...

A few above water shots from yesterday at Stoney
Clear blue skies and lots of fun


Plus how instructors choose new fins...

thanks Doc for the 3 fin pictures - those really made me chuckle on a wet Monday morning



Caroline

Blimey, looking at the photo's, my new dry suit isn't very camouflaged is it. I will not pass Ninja Stealth School.

A good days diving though, back in the zone at last. My pics are just about all universally terrible except for one of the doc and one of the only fish I saw the whole day. Will post in a minute.

Ohhh, and the instructor gloves of doom.

WELL DONE CAROLINE ON COMPLETING YOUR DEEP CERT AND FINISHING YOUR MSD CERT!!




Another fantastic PROSCUBA day at Stoney with excellent company as usual

Dive 1
Euan, Pete M, Doc, Neil W, Myself
We began with a surface swim across to the descent line on to the stern of the stanegarth.
We agreed to meet Euan and Pete on the Stanegarth however Pete had a minor problem with his ears, he did well to attend due to a recent operation on his nose so well done for joining us

So Doc, Neil and myself continued with a tour of the three wrecks and a gentle potter heading back over via the Nautilus and a quick tour under the pub exiting via the steps. Excellent dive
20.8 M max, 4 Degrees C, 43 minutes

Dive 2
Euan, Doc, Skies, Neil and myself headed back out to complete the same tour with a small difference, We decided to change things slightly and not stop at the third wreck as its a bit small :liar:
Instead we headed over into the corner behind the pub to find the car wheel which we know has lots of special features, including its roundness.

We then then completed a nice curved tour and back via the Nautilus and clubhouse where we had a OH NO THE NEW DRY SUIT GLOVE LEAKED, Yes you got it 1 x Wet instructor at which point the affore mentioned instructor decided to
Again another excellent dive.
20 M max, 5 degrees, 31 minutes.



Thanks to everyone for another fun day out PROSCUBA style and the good company.

Again well done Caroline
