Well he's nothing like Woody ;) But he was good. Some of us have dived
with him in the past. And there was certainly no shortage of hot drinks.
Dan Taylor had more than his fair share.

I dived with him out of Weymouth just after he'd bought it but before
he's actually taken delivery of it - a sort of training trip for him -
We'd originally booked Graham Knotts big boat, but that wasn't ready,
so we went out on Our W instead with Dave at the Helm and Graham giving
good advice!

I hadn't dived off it at all but I recognised it from Weymouth as Our W
before I read any replies. Didn't it used to be yellow at one time?
Perhaps I'm dreaming. Trawlers, Diveboats. Any boats. They all have a
distincitve signature.

You can now get nitrox (and spares, lots more) just off the M27/A27 on the
Eastern road into Portsmouth at the old airport industrial estate en route
to the east dive sites from the south coast if there is no gas available
elsewhere, it's literally a 5 minute journey from the motorway to Dive
Connections, Fairway Centre, Portsmouth, A3020 East.

He's now bought the compressor, just needs a few other bits before
installing it.

Yes you can get nitrox there but legal parking outside is nearly impossible
on a busy weekend.
