The Stoney-Gang - 01-09-2000 (from left: Lou, Darryl, Roy, Andy, Darren and Charlotte)
We started off with a deep-dive down to the 36m bottom of the Cove. Lou and Charlotte were under tuition for their AOW qual. which left Darryl, Darren and me to continue down to the deep Hydrobox at 36m to play around and tackle darkness, cold and a possible dose of Nitrogen narcosis. As it happened, we all emerged safely and jubilant that we had acheived depth without any major problems apart from a bit of cramp here and there. The spring-rolls and other offerings from the serving hatch then made a beckoning to us !...... The second dive was a wreck-dive for the girls, which we all duly and willing accompanied. Doing the helicopter is always fun as it is somewhere where you can sit on the tail in a line and look around for Pike. Unfortunately, the viz was a bit lousy so all that could be seen were dark shapes moving slowly in the gloom ! After this dive, Darryl and the girls had passed their AOW so we celebrated with.......... more Stoney food ! The final dve of the day was when Roy and I went off to hide. We had promised that we would not go beyond the 6m shelf. However, with the four others watching from the 'bus-stop' we had no option but to lose our bubble-trails by visiting the coach and the Stanegarth (both at 20m) before following our pursuers for 10 minutes before one of them (Darren ) eventually turned around and spotted us ! Roy and Darryl then left the remaining four of us. We then proceeded back to Charlotte's house in Worcester for an evening sampling the local pubs. Probably one of the best (out of instruction) day's diving so far........ |

Can we go home now ? |

"If I said you had a beautiful body...would you hold it against me?", asks Darren |

The alcohol begins to sink in ! |
....why else would we be dancing in a pub in Worcester ?!! |
