How did you find this new quarry? I'm guessing it was in that new diving mag LADY GAYDIVER that you were showing us on monday

1900 at Queensferry McDs to do something different sounds fine by me. Tonic was just an idea.

noticed you werent complaining about the entry behind the toilets big man................
at least i only got "aural" pleasure, not sure what you were getting hanging around the toilets while we had second dive.........
okay 29th may appears to be some kinda holiday at my work also- so who wants to go where; and this time there will be a comprehensive safety briefing (she knows what i mean).
;D ;D

real divers wear force fins and are happy to listen to the environment around them. On my last dive the environment was saying "what the f*#k is that racket. I cant hear my dinner swimming by, oh well i suppose i'll just have to starve to death"
P.R.A.T.S rule techies drule. cummonrafishes

i thought on your last dive the environment was saying "turn round, you've missed the exit point.............................", though the scent of effluent in the water should have been a big clue.

I passed the exit point because the noise scrambled my sense of echo location, I developed this for the US marines so they could swim into enemy harbours at night without night vision or torches. Unfortunately the ruskies knew of its flaw and installed speaker systems at all their naval bases. It also happens in the wild , every time a whale, dolphin or porpoise is beached its happened because someone played Coldplay and scrambled their echo location.

when it's coldplay, it doesn't scramble their echo location - they're just trying to get away from the lovely Gwynnie's whiny husband.
now if it were the fragrant Alison goldfrapp then they would come running.
if your echo location was scrambled oh guru of the membrane suit, does that mean you are some kind of water mammal? minke?blue?killer??
one can train oneself to overcome the echo problems- after all the exit from the 2nd dive was position perfect despite me dad-dancing my way along a la bimble. i may have to send one of the staff down to FYM to get another mp3 player, or tell someone below stairs to go on ebay and get me one.......
