Tuesday 2 May 2023

Tues 2 May…..Normally on May day weekend the roads are packed, certainly the M5 to Plymouth would be gridlocked on Friday, but no, sailed through all the way, and back yesterday, nil traffic !! Certainly makes dive trios to the Coast a breeze, even at Bank holidays. Will be trying out the new APEKS DSX computer this week, now in stock, and feeding back, it’s certainly a step in the future.

Weds 26 April 2023

Weds 26 April….Well, it’s been a great few days, diving was great, and only one day lost to high winds and avec La mer une peu agite. A little early in the season for the array of marine life down here in S.France, I think we may calendarise a trip for early September here.
