Trip to the Beaufighter

The new canopy went up on Monday that will shade the wetsuit and BCD basin. The extra shade will be greatly appreciated in June when the temperature soars for the summer months. Now our unprofessional building team can relax from the building work . . . no wait forget about relaxing we have more diving to do!

Mondays boat trip to the Beaufighter was a great experience for everyone.

The free fall experience from the boat down to the plane wreck that lies at 42m is an expereince in itself. When the bomber crashed in WW2 it sunk upside down so the wheels project upwards from the sandy bottom. The wreck is covered in large Scorpion Fish that stare at you with large empty eyes. It really is an amazing dive!

The pressure is on today . . . Jim, Dave, Marco and Michel are off to the Um El Faroud for some simulates deco practice with Jason ready for the real thing on the Imperial Eagle tomorrow. Let's see how they get on!
