Vobster, Sunday 6th November
I’ve obviously spent too much of the summer in the sea… Al and I pottered around the far side of the site where people don’t tend to go and the rock formations were often dramatic. I found myself looking in nooks and crannies trying to see lobsters, crabs or other life though… the only thing we saw on a 1 hour dive was a lonely trout which made me jump
Oh well, must get used to it with the weather set to get worse over the winter. Al and I decided to make the most of the unexpected quarry time to get used to diving two stages, switching, re stowing etc. Lowering four stages and a scooter into Vobster on a leash, I did smile when I remembered the maxim “only take what you need” but hey ho….training is best done in a safe environment - and this way when we are in the sea we can spend the time just diving.
We returned after the last dive to find that the Gavin had found a Silent Sub friend - it’s owner had spotted my leash and parked up. I don;t know - scooters are clearly like buses… you wait for ever then two etc. etc.
Two longish dives, with quite good vis in parts, and pleasant chat on the surface. Not quite what we had hoped for but fun nevertheless.
