Not So Underground

Sunday – Should’ve been an underground dive at the Rez today but couldn’t muster 12 members (minimum they require) to take up the demands of cavern diving. So instead this morning spent setting up twinsets and some tech gear for our new intro to Tech and PADI Tec Rec programme, and slipped off to Dostill Quarry (Dozzi) for a fun dive with Tony n Phil (see photo) now bowlegged from the Dosthill slope.
