Sunny Stoney Cove
What a great day at Stoney Cove. So quiet we were able to park a few spaces away from the bustop entry point.
Neil W, Geoff 123, Spongebob, Lisa, Andy, Jack, Ben, and many others we know out in the winter sunshine. Lisa was recovering still from being 'depth-charged' with 11lt stages on Saturday as she was trying to reach the exit point - thanks to those lovely CCR guys - you know the ones with the blue van and built-in re-breather stand, usually parked right by the entry point. She was still fuming nicely on Sunday.
Dive One was a trip out to the Stanegarth, surface swim out, great vis on the way down, all that green has gone now. Nice swim through and around the wreck, dropped down to the prop before moving onto the next wreck which is now clearly visible from the Stanegarth. Lost Jack and Neil somewhere here. So we went round the next 2 wrecks and the APC at the end which was also clearly visible from Belinda.
Ben being on 100 bar by then the 3 of us turned to come out. Came up to the Nautilus so Andy took Ben under the pub while I waited by the Nautilus. Off out but we missed the stage dropping business by about 5 minutes as the CCR guys had donned their stages and were doing some technical stuff by then in 5m of water!

Dive Two was a shallower dive around the left wall towards the galleon. Many pike encounters here including a great hands on one where Jack pulled a pike out of the weed and rockface by it's tail. It was not happy! A nice 400th dive for me, very entertaining.
Met up with Lisa and Spongebob, their friends, and Ian Goldthorpe and Vicky Murphy in the pub at the end.

Was a cracking day yesterday, would have loved to spend it out of doors (made a fool of myself ice skating with version 2.0). What happened with the staging bottle, they just let it go?

think its in certain parts of forum you can edit your own posts and not in others - the logic of which and where i don't get.

We used to be able to edit trip reports before the forum was split. Useful when you have posted photos and not realised you have made a mistake, or when posting a lot like above you get interrupted and want to post where you have got up to and go back to it later. Wonder what happened?

They had the pink/purple Miflex hoses in too Lexi Sunny Stoney - Sun 15th Jan 47170
