far be it for me to comment on the intricacies of wreck detection, as
of course there are professionals on the television who do that in far
more deep, dark and dangerous waters than I would ever venture into ;)

Wonderful weekend, thanks for organising it Danny, and of course
Pete.. thanks for the entertainment, gas and of course.. guiding me in
;)

and for any doubters.. here's two pics of me at the end of two dives..
WITH my original buddies :D lol

Cheeky! Always come up on two blobs.. lets the skipper know there are
two people there.. the buddy on the first pic 'misplaced' his blob
somehow... it was later found hidden in the toilet! haha

Yeah. Two. I think I did that on the last UKRS trip
I was on. We used Danny's blob from the wreck to
15 meters. Then Danny did a sudden demonstration of
not being dragged by a buoy and we finished the
ascent on mine.

It was the classic case where the blob snags and
the diver has just instants to decide if it is
going to come free or not. Danny called it just
about right and was pulled about half a meter,
I suspect it felt like more, but then let go and
the reel was out of my visual range in a moment.

Oh lots can go wrong, lots and lots. Everyone always comes up under their
own blob on a UKRS trip these days, it's become SOP after many amusing
incidents...

The War Helmet was actually WWI. Sunk in 1918.
