Monday 23 June…Landed at Carcassone early morning

by Dive LeicesterUncategorized
Monday 23 June…Landed at Carcassone early morning to torrential rain, so a very soggy drive to the coast. Great dive this afternoon, no wind, super viz, silver sand and lots of fish. Entertained by a really impressive thunder & lightening storm just over the Pyrenees whilst on the dive boat, they take it very seriously here & suspended diving for half an hour. Looking forward to 2 dives tomorrow and more baguettes n fish for lunch ( baguette belly on photo at dive centre)

Sunday 22 June…A more relaxed day today, after a long and busy week of diving. Well done to Cath and Peter on their PADI Open Water Referral course today in the pool. Gathering together equipment and cylinders for later on this week, when we return from our dive trip to…….? Anyone else interested in the PADI Advanced course, have one running first 30/6 and 1/7, the viz & temp at depth is stunning at the mo, couldn’t be a better time to sign up for the Advanced course and build up those skills.

Tuesday 17 June…Managed a dash to the coast,

by Dive LeicesterUncategorized
Tuesday 17 June…Managed a dash to the coast, and a few dives, one exceptional dive where we spotted a bullfoss shark, a fairly large one, Em became deranged at this point. I saw one in Plymouth 2 years ago for the first time. Viz not that brill as SE wind picked up, but a great change. Photo to show me comparing my tum with Billy Bear’s tum, I’m not far behind, think the DMs have a conspiracy to develop this further with all the choccies
