Wednesday – Aqua T still in S.France, Philipe and Danielle joined us today for dive near Banyuls sur Mer, large cargo wreck ss Phoenecian, fairly deep and so only one dive, finished early for Moules Marienere at clifftop restaurant.
Tuesday – Who would think surf kayaking could be so fun, if you stand up its Hawaii 50, but hurts more when you come off. Beach dive today as Dive centre boat waiting for parts. Explored the gullies off Cap Bear in S.France, viz today was superb, we were the only group there and it was terrific. Hope to do 2 wrecks tomorrow, very large cargo ships mainly intact.
Monday – Aqua T group had 2 boat dives, not as much sealife today but viz good and sea was fairly settled. Great wall dive with serious drop off in the afternoon, tea on the beach bathed in glorious sunshine. Trying out sea kayaking in morning as dive centre boat poorly, but diving afternoon.
Sunday – Sea was calmer today in Spain and Temp approx 30 degrees, Waved goodbye to the Jedi, Ruth n Heath and continued over the border to S.France, sea was too inviting to resist, so went snorkelling on a reef close to home, then a Barbi to finish off the evening, simply heaven again. Boat dives again tomorrow !
Saturday – Aqua T is on dive exped, so a little behind with the posts, a full muster of Aqua T’s at our partner dive centre in Spain (see photo), a bumpy boat ride to first dive for a first taste of salt water. Afternoon dive quite demanding, but lots to see; ooo Barracuda, large groupers, morays, shoals of damsells, bream and Jacks and many others. Late night dancing with lads n ladies from Barcelona also on tour. Have promised NOT to release video to you tube, but depends how well behaved they are.
Friday – On the way to Spain with the Jedi and disciples. Easy access for weekend diving, arrived at B´Hm airport to find the group skoffing as much a sthey could eat before the flight, like a group of wilderbeast on the Serendepi, the plane just manged to climb. A few drinks on our arrival and ready for 2 moro, photos to follow !
