New Vobster Quay Map - Download it here!!!

Righty tighty, the new Vobster Quay map is now complete and available for
download for those who might be interested. It's 99% there and certainly a
lot more accurate than the old map so enjoy! A full list of bearings will be
publiushed once the *new* Vobster website (which I'm working on at the mo)
goes live in a couple of weeks time....

In the meantime, you can download the new map here...

Obviously you'll need the Acrobat Reader to view this file. You can download
it from Adobe here...

Any comments on the new map (good, bad and constructive) gratefully
received...

Looks nice enough.
A label for the big building and the little building would be good too (i've
never been so no idea what they are)

23rd ? Will evaluate map then
Stupid question I know but you have history since its been open.

Really depends on how deep you intend to go. Around the plane and the
crushing works, it's still reasonably balmy (I'm still diving those parts of
the quarry without hood and gloves!) but go any deeper and you hit a sharp
thermocline below 14m. I was over there yesterday - it's nice having a whole
dive centre to yourself and your buddy! - doing some photography for the new
website and down at 26m (ie. centre section of the plane) it was bleedin'
cold! By the end of November, I expect the water temperature to start
dropping in the warmer parts of the quarry too...

Just label them "Big building", "Little building". Should be self
evident as to which is which!

Hm. Might make the effort to go to Vobster sometime then... I thought
I'd given up quarry diving though, but then came the Freedivers that I
somehow seem to have gotten mixed up with ... (!!!)

The bottom of Chepstow was a balmy 5C last weekend.. It can only get colder.
(Some of the UK Freedivers are now hitting 60m+)

What it's like to look at Freedivers underwater:

Ps. If anyones interested in Freediving, there are courses being run
at the SETT - have a look at www.deeperblue.net/courses

Ones in the car park yeah... the ones without names!

And something else just occurred to me - I have no idea where Vobster is,
but how about an address and contact details on the map? I suppose it
depends how the map will be used - will it just be an image on their
website, or will it be printed for people to use too?

This is the *only* way to dive the SETT.

What a great write up Nigel and I agree, it is the only way to dive the
SETT. I did it for the first time Sept 03 and loved it - I now freedive
regularly in those balmy waters of the NDC that Gordon speaks so fondly
of!!

Anyone thinking about trying freediving should definately give it a go
in the SETT - fantastic weekend.

Donna :)

Jason,

Big improvement on the old map! As David Walker says, it might be good
to add another map of how to get to the car park - as well as from the
car park to the plane's fusilage..! ;)
