Our Man On The Coast has come
into possession of a whole mess of Royal Navy underwater
survey maps from their inspection of the Cornish coastline,
and there's quite a few hunks of metal down there
which have never been identified. These maps are not
generally available and represent an enormous treasure
trove for the ambitious diver.
Now, the surveying was done
by measuring electromagnetic interference on the seabed
so some of the markings may just be big 'ole rocks.
However, as they’re undived on account of them
having been unavailable to recreational divers, who
knows if there's an undiscovered WWII sub out there
with your name on it?

It’s been a slog, but I’ve finally
managed to come up with a dive roster for St Ives
that gives everybody at least three dives and most
of you four, at least one dive being a brand new
exploration dive. That’s not to say that the
other dives aren’t going to be anything less
than spectacular mind, and if you doubt it even
for a minute check THIS and THIS.
The bottleneck on the dive allocation has been
A) Sixteen divers signing up for eleven spaces
and
B) The fact that these exploration dives can really
only be done at slack water, and the fourth slack
is at 18.00 on the Sunday evening.

| I
know that there are many reverse profiles in here, but
let’s take it as a starting point, and we’ll
divvy up the dives closer to the day when my Man down
on the coast knows exactly what the conditions are like,
when the tides are and all that. |
Dive
roster will be insterted here just as soon as I figure
out how to put Excel tables into Dreamweaver pages.
Any advice y'all? |
| Once
we’re sorted here I’ll send the dive list
down to my Man and he’ll have a bash at sorting
them out so that we don’t have any crazy profiles
or anything. Any of you who are interested in the last
dive on Sunday only have to say so; the boat’s empty
for the time being and I’m more than happy to book
y’all some spaces, should you be staying down in
sunny St Ives for a day or two longer. Bearing
in mind that this is quite a lot of boatage to be reserving
for the weekend, I’ve arranged a good deal with
my Man for yous, and in return would be happy if y’all
dropped me the coin by the end of the week so that I
can either confirm your space or move one of the reserves
up PDQ. You'll have had my email with the dive allocations
and my account details on it.
- The prices include your dives,
your tanks, your air, a good time and a fiver for
me.
- If you bring your own tank,
good for you but it don’t get no cheaper.
- If you want Nitrox up to all
sorts of crazy mixes (if you’re qualified) then
that can be arranged if you let me know at least 48h
before the weekend. Nitrox costs extra.
- If you’re one of these
sissy-boy tech divers who needs A-Clamps let me know,
and we’ll arrange it right after we’ve
sorted out your matching sailor-boy suit and bell
bottoms.
- Pansies.
- I will also look into accommodation
once this is sorted. Please let me know if you want
some, and if so if you want a double, single, shared
twin or bunk room.
Please lob me the money to my
account by the end of this week (17th August) to ensure
your space. I’m afraid I’m going to have
to be Ming on this as I’ve got a reserve list
longer than my knob.
Phew, with all that said and done,
don’t you all forget that this weekend is going
to ROCK!
Peace |
