Its been a Good Year




I know the year is not quite over yet but due to a sore knee (old war wound) my diving finished back in September! But thanks to the good old NHS I will be back in the water by the middle of January.
Well where should I start? The season really got started for me in March I had booked Ian Taylor's boat Skin Deep for the first and last weekends for some weekend diving out of Weymouth. However things were not going to go to plan as at the last moment I decided to go out to Sharm to see an old friend Aaron Bruce for some personal development!! I booked for 2 weeks meaning I would miss the first weekend out of Weymouth but then I was asked to stay and do some work, teaching a couple of Inspiration courses meaning I would miss the 2nd week in Weymouth. My presence was not really missed and every one had a great time feeling their way around the M2.

Four weeks later I was back in Sharm delivering an Inspiration for one of Aaron's colleagues and to do some more teaching, an open circuit trimix course. This was the last time I would be in Egypt despite being invited several other times.

Well the weather back in Devon was improving day by day and the underwater visability was getting up to 10-15m so training conditions were perfect. Over the next few months we did several Inspiration courses and a number of Open Circuit courses of varying levels. As the days grew longer we managed to get out and do some of the medium range trimix wrecks out of Plymouth. Gems such as the Medina, Untiring and the Unicorn. But these wrecks were just the tip of the iceberg compared to the trip we had planned to Malin Head, Ireland. Here we had 3 of the top 10 wreck dives in the world with the Justicia, Empire Heritage and Audacious all of them spectacular in their own way.

However if I thought I was not going to be blown away by more spectacular wrecks then I was was wrong we had 2 more aces up our sleeve. In September I had a trip of my own planned to dive out of Plymouth but before that we had 2 days diving out of Newquay on the wreck of the Armenian a White Star Liner that lies in 95m. We only managed to get 1 dive on her due to the weather but that dive will stick in my mind for a long time. Moving over to the south coast and Plymouth we were quickly going to go from hero to zero with a dive on HMS Seabed on the Saturday and Sunday we were totally blown out! But there was still Monday when we were due to dive the Afric another White Star liner and yet another memory that will not be lost any time soon.

I would like to thank all of you who joined me in my adventures this year. I look forward to more of the same next year and making more new friends and dive buddies.

Have a great Christmas and a cracking New Year.

Red Sea Trip March 2011


Hi Everyone,

I am planning a trip to Sharm El Sheikh from the 10th - 17th March 2011. It will be open to Open and Closed Circuit and Open Water to Trimix divers alike. The beauty of diving in the Red Sea is you can see as much in 9 or 90m. I am not going to go into prices here if you are interested email me and I will send you details. We will be diving with a company called Werner Lau who are offering something called their Buddy week where 1 person pays and the other is free of charge so making a very reasonable week of diving. I am planning on staying in the Tropicana Tivoli I have stayed here before and for the cost is a lot of hotel. The hotel is located in the Aida area of Sharm which is both quiet and a short ride to Naama Bay. I have a friend who runs his own transfer company so the trip from the hotel and airport will be arranged in advance. I lived in Sharm for around 12 months + have spent many more weeks out there on holiday so if you have never been there before you can be reassured I will look after you. Sofnolime and rebreather cylinders are available from the dive centre.

The price you pay is the price of the trip I don't put anything on top. If you would like to do any courses while we are out there that can be arranged.

If you would like any more info please email me on the the contacts page.


Cheers

Kevin

White Star Liner SS Afric


We dived the SS Afric today a White Star Liner 26 miles out from Plymouth. After Sundays dive was cancelled due to the strong winds I was pleased to see a fairly calm Plymouth sound as I dropped down the hill that leads to Fort Bovisand. There were 8 of us on the boat and we loaded quickly so we could get underway, the trip out to the site took around 2.5 hours. On arrival Danny (our skipper) spent a little time to study the layout of the wreck as we wanted the shotline around the stern of the wreck. The shot was dropped and the divers 2 by 2 dropped into the water. I was the last one of the boat and quickly dropped down the line through the different levels of water clarity until I reached the bottom in 75m. On the bottom I had caught up with the 2 pairs of divers who descended before me, one pair had clipped on their reel and were already leaving the line and heading towards the stern. To save time attaching my reel I decided to follow along their line. We quickly came to the stern where her 2 large props sit either side of the rudder that is still turned to port (left) where her crew had tried to avoid the torpedo that sunk her. I swam over the prop shaft and around the back of the rudder then ascended up and over the stern to the deck. The wreck is sitting on her starboard (right) side so swimming over her port side railings you are looking down her wooden deck into the gloom and back towards the seabed. The wreck is in excellent condition but covered in fishing nets and is very similar to the Armenian which I dived on Friday. The pair of divers I was following decided to head back to the shot having not laid my own line I was now stuffed I could either continue and risk not getting back to the shot or cut my dive time short and follow them back, I chose the later as I had already racked up 60 minutes of decompression time. The trip back up the line was uneventful but long. Another cracking dive racked up and one that I will be visiting again soon.

SS Armenian


We dived the SS Armenian on Friday out of Newquay. She is 50 miles out and in 95m. The trip out was 3 hours long and fairly lumpy by time we reached the dive site we were all ready to get off the boat! I was diving with a trimix of 10/62 giving me an equivalent narcotic depth of 30m in my inspiration and carrying 2 eleven litre bailout cylinders with 14/54 and 30/35 these 2 cylinders would get me to 22m if the poo hit the fan then the remainder of the gas I would need would be lowered down on a pre planned signal.
As we descended it got darker and darker and on reaching the bottom we needed torches to see however the visibility was a good 10-15m. The descent took us around 6 minutes with the shot dropping down into the inside of the wreck. The decks and superstructure had long since collapsed exposing her boilers. We swam towards the stern coming across a large winch where we crossed over and explored the other side of the wreck. There were port holes lying around everywhere I picked up 2 with the idea of sending them to the surface but I had second thoughts knowing that the time it would take to rig them up to a lifting bag would probably mean another 20 minutes of decompression at 6m.
We spent 20 minutes on the bottom which gave us a total of 80 minutes of decompression over 60 minutes of that at 6m.
This was a great dive the size and condition of the wreck is hard to put across. I will definitely be going back and paying her another visit next year.

Not the Armenian


Diving out of Newquay today with the plan to dive the SS Armenian a P&O Liner that was sunk in WW1 carrying a cargo of Mules for the frontline. She is 50 miles out of Newquay in a depth of 95m. When we arrived at Newquay harbour the conditions did not look promising and when the skipper turned up he confirmed my fears. The back up plan was to dive a wreck in 40m. For those of you that are not trimix divers that is a bit of a problem even on a rebreather as my breathing gas was totally unsuitable as my main bailout (emergency cylinders) were mixed to get me from 95m to 22m then the rest of the gas would have been lowered down from the boat on a predetermined signal. Oh well we were there so we made the best of what we had. The trip out was lumpy to say the least but we were on site within 40mins and in the water after another 30mins. The visibility was about 25m and very light. The wreck was a small steam powered vessel that was very broken and had been picked clean of any brass a long time ago. I spent 40min on the bottom and for that I had 35mins of deco to do. I could see the sun reflecting off the surface from 30m. Tomorrow we try again but looking at the forecast I am not optimistic but we will see.

Joe's an Advanced OW Diver

Last night we did a night dive at the Chesil Cove to complete Joe's Adv OW course. We did 5 dives in all a Deep, Wreck, Search and Recovery, Navigation and last nights night dive. Three of the dives were done out of Plymouth one out of Babbacombe but due to less than ideal visibility at Babbacombe the night dive had to be postponed. As Joe lives in Weymouth we decided to do the night dive there and we were not disappointed. We saw Cuttlefish, Lobster, Edible Crabs and lots of Pollack to name but a few.

Well done Joe.

Weymouth Diving



Just spent the last two days diving on Skin Deeper out of Weymouth. We dived the Avalanche on Wednesday. She was a three masted steel sailing ship and lies on a silty sea bed in 51m. She is very broken and at her highest point is about 6m proud of the sea bed. The wreck site is covered in bottles of all different shapes and sizes and masses of broken crockery all part of her cargo. She sank in 1877 after being involved in a collision with the boat Forest with the loss of all aboard. The wreck is covered in shoals of Pollack and numerous Lobsters that seemed to get bigger and bigger with each one we came across. Visibility was poor at 3-4m and very dark.

Today we dived the wreck of the Salsette one of the UK's most famous wreck dives and it did not disappoint. She was a P&O liner that once held the Blue Ribbon for the fastest crossing of the Atlantic but now lies on her port side in 46m. The shot line was just behind the the bow her anchors are still in place so we started here and then headed along her port railings down to the stern. Like the Avalanche she was covered in shoaling Pollack and some large Bass. We reached the stern after 25 minutes where her rudder casts a huge shadow the starboard prop is missing. We then finned up along the hull following a line of pristine port holes. The vis today was 6-8m. The Salsette sank in 1917 after being struck by a torpedo.

TDI Inspiration Course

Just finished an Air Diluent Decompression Inspiration course with Martin. It was a busy week but much was learned. We did 90 minutes in the pool and 8 dives finishing off in the quarry at Chepstow because of poor weather meaning our boat out of Plymouth was cancelled. Martin picked everything up really quickly but even with a very strong diving background admitted that diving a rebreather was completely different and required more thought and discipline. However the benefits far exceeded the extra effort required.

Malin Head probably the best wreck diving I have done!!





We started our 6 days of diving with the wreck I most wanted to do, the conditions were perfect so it was off to the Justicia 30 miles out to sea. The Justicia was a white star liner, she sits in 70m of water upright with her bow being the main attraction. The shot was just behind the Bridge which has collapsed down into the hull. Just forward was the bow sat upright as if it was still ploughing its way through the sea with the anchors in place and the deck hand rails intact. A truly amazing sight. Going back to the shot I travelled across rows of perfect portholes all clinging to the hull, passing these I came to her massive boilers. 30mins done it was time to be heading back to the shot. Hanging at 6m with the rest of the gang we had a visit from a 1.5m Porbeagle shark, it swam behind the guys on the deco station then back towards me. It came to within 2m of me then turned and headed off. It doesn't get better than this.

Day 2 we were of to dive the Empire Heritage she was a freighter nothing special, until you see the cargo that she was carrying. Sherman Tanks, Earth moving Lorries and other war goods. She sits in 66m and the vis was a good 20m like the day before. The shot was just in front of a row of boilers. I could see her mast which looms above the wreck a good 15m and at the base of this I caught a glimpse of my 1st tank. In some places they were piled 3 high like a childs toy box just tossed aside. 30mins gone and time to head up. Decompressing on the deco station I glanced down into the blue and there was a 2m Porbeagle just swimming around beneath us. What are the chances of that 2 cracking dives and sharks on both.

Day 3 The Roscommon another freighter this time the cargo was crockery, Lino and cable. Not quite as glamorous as the Empire Heritage. The selling point of this wreck was another intact bow with anchors in place. She was in 75m and another cracking dive.

Day 4 UB89 a German WW1 submarine. I had watched a video of divers on her the day before and new what to expect. I was not disappointed most of her pressure hull is gone exposing the inner hull which in places has disappeared over time giving you good views inside her torpedo room and engine room. This has to be the best sub dive I have done.

Day 5 HMS Audacious one of HM finest battleships. She is upside down in 65m vis was the poorest of the week at 10m!! We were diving her gun turrets today, these are truly massive and the shells that they fired are bigger than a 15ltr cylinder. You could spend a whole week on this dive and not see all the sites.

Day 6 HMS Audacious the stern. The highlight of this is the propellers and rudders which are all still in place. The hull is broken and entering the wreck is easy some of the other exposed sites are the Clarkson Cases these are about 1.5m tall and .5m wide they were used to carry cordite and are made out of brass. This was a great dive to finish off our week just the sheer size of the wreck makes it a special dive.

I have to say a big thank you to Michael our skipper and Heather his wife who looked after us in the B&B a warmer welcome you would find hard to find. I have booked again for August 2011 for more of the same and to do some of the deeper wrecks.

Cheers

Diving Malin Head


I have just finished diving some of the wrecks off Malin Head, which has been a truly amazing week. We dived classics like the Justicia, Empire Heritage and the Audacious and some not so well known wrecks of the UB89 and the Roscommon. The visibility ranged from 10-25m with the water temperature being 9 degrees on the bottom and 15 at the decompression station. The group was made up from guys from the UK and Ireland and all but 1 were diving Inspiration rebreathers. Depths ranged from 62-78m and bottom times were 25-35 minutes with total bottom times averaging 2 hours. If the cracking wrecks were not enough we also had the company of a Porbeagle Shark on the 1st two dives swimming around us on the deco station. We dived off the boat Rosguill skippered by Michael McVeigh and stayed at Michael and Heathers B&B The Fisherman's Cottages in Downings. I can not praise Michael and Heather enough for the welcome and generosity we received while staying and diving with them. I have booked again for next year so that says it all. I will write some more about the diving in the next week. Picture above is of the Gun of the UB89 a 2nd WW german submarine.

Unicorn - Tile Wreck

Diving last night out of Plymouth. The dive site was a 28m long freighter that was carrying a cargo of red roof tiles. She sank in heavy seas when her cargo shifted causing her to take on water. She lies in 53m on a muddy/silty seabed. The wreck is very broken with the highest points being the tip of the bow and the boiler. We descended through clear but plankton filled water but as we got deeper so it became darker even though it was a clear sunny evening. Reaching the bottom I was greeted by the bow which is about 3m above the sea bed, setting off along the port side the site is littered with tiles, amongst these there are numerous Conger, edible Crab and Squat Lobster. Around me there was a large shoal of Bib and Pollock swimming just beyond the confines of the wreck site. I followed the wreck to the stern where the steering gear and rudder lie and just beyond these is a large winch that has fallen free of the wreck. I then started to make my way back towards the bow via the starboard side but due to the amount of divers on the wreck the visibility was starting to deteriorate and by time I reached the bow it was down to zero. I decided to call it a day and made my way back up the shot line with 20 mins of stops to do. This is a cracking little dive but would be better with a max of 6 divers.

Hatt Rock

Diving today out of Plymouth. Our first dive was Hatt Rock a dive I first heard about 12 years ago and have been trying to get on since then! Approaching the dive site the surrounding sea bed is in 62m then you hit the reef which rises slowly to around 48m then sharply to 27m (The Hat). The shot was on the top of the reef but right next to the drop off. I descended to 48m through a shoal of Pollock which seemed to be swimming around me for the 25min I stayed at this depth. I swam over a patch of rough ground made up of large flat rocks which housed between 15-20 small Conger Eels. Ascending up the 20m wall which makes the sides of the Hat was a mass of colours blue, purple and pink which was large patches of Jewel Anemones, shinning my torch over these was just a wonderful sight. Once on the top of the reef I explored until I had done 40min, racking up 15min of decompression, it was time to ascend. What a dive it was well worth the wait.
Not content with one amazing dive we then went on to dive the Eddystone Lighthouse reef were I spent 60min under the water. Two of the best reef dives in the UK in one day. Result!

Thanks Danny and Dave

HMS Untiring


Diving today out of Plymouth on the wreck of HMS Untiring a submarine. She was sunk in 1957 by the RN as a sonar target and lies intact in 55m sat upright with a slight lean over to starboard. The visibility was around 10m but it was fairly gloomy and dark due to the large amount of Plankton in the water, so a torch was needed. She is covered in Plumose Anemones and is a mass of colour and life. We spent 25 minutes on the bottom with a total run time of 60 mins it was a cracking dive. Coming up we could see the sun on the surface from 20m. Water temperature was around 11 degrease so it was pleasant enough for the run time. Diving again on Wednesday night out of Plymouth on something in 65m all good build up dives for our trip to Malin Head at the end of June.

Red Sea

Just got back from another cracking week of diving in the Red Sea. Weather was unreal 42 degrease on the hottest day. Spent the week running an Open Circuit Trimix course for a lady from Australia. She had a great week in which we dived on Trimix on 3 days with the deepest dive being 56 meters. Her and her husband are planning a trip to Vanuatu an island off Australia to dive the President Coolidge in 2012. Guess who wangled an invite? Looking forward to getting back out there soon as the sharks are starting to come back, I heard stories of a 3m Tiger in Tiran and an Oceanic White tip around the Thistlegorm whilst the boats were moored up over night. It gets better and better.

Open Circuit Trimix course in the Red Sea


I am off to Sharm in May to run an open circuit trimix course for my friend Aaron, dust cloud permitting! I will be flying on the 11th and starting the course the next day. I will be diving with Werner Lau dive centre in Narma Bay which is where I was diving last month and where Aaron works. The course is the entry level course so we will be limited to 60m. I am looking forward to getting in the water again as it feels like I have been dry for ages!

Nitrox Qualified

No diving this Easter but it didn't stop Shawn Clements and Paul Oaten earning their Nitrox certifications. We spent a day going over Nitrox theory, gas analysis and they finished with their final exams both getting 100%. So well done. Now all they need is some good weather so they can use their qualifications in anger.

The Last Dive of my 3 week stay in Sharm

Yesterday was my last day of diving after a busy 3 weeks of diving every day so we had to make it a good one. We planed a 90meter dive to the bottom of Thomas Canyon there was myself on an inspo, Aaron on a meg and 3 others all on open circuit. Our bottom time was 15 minutes with a total run time of 82 minutes. The Canyon opens up at around 40 then becomes narrower and opens up into a reasonable sized chamber at about 75meters then there is a narrow swim through which drops down to 90meters.
However the best part of the dive is the deco which is done on one of the prettiest reefs in Sharm. When we came out of the canyon we were met by the biggest Tuna I have seen, it must have been 3.5m long. We used a trimix of 10/50 as our bottom gas and I was carrying 2, 12 litre bailout tanks 1 with 10/50 and the other with an 80% nitrox mix in it. It was a wonderful way to finish a fantastic 3 weeks. I am already planning my next trip.

Cheers

Inspiration Air Diluent Deco Course

I have just finished an Inspiration Air Diluent Decompression Course for Maceij a Polish Diving Instructor. We had a great 5 days covering all aspects of rebreather diving using air as a diluent. We did a total of 9 hours of diving to a maximum depth of 45 meters. We had a couple of days of strong winds which made the boat diving interesting. His certifying dive was to 45m with a bottom time of 32 minutes with 26 minutes of decompression. He also completed a open circuit bailout ascent from 30 meters using 2 gases for the simulated decompression. A thoroughly good time was had by all.

My student for the next week is Jacque who is from France and is doing the same course.

Cheers

Inspiration Trimix Instructor

I have just finished and passed my inspo trimix instructor course. The course lasted 6 days 1 day of preparation before the students turned up to go through presentations and course outlines and the 5 days of teaching on the course. During the course we had the students bailing out onto open circuit from 60m. A 70m dive to show all buddy/team skills during the dive. A 80m dive with simulated computer failure so they had to refer to their back up plans, plus a few Mod 1 skills thrown in for good measure. There were 4 students on the course all from Holland who went away having learn't a great deal and on a couple of occasions it was touch and go whether they would pass or not! But they pulled it out of the bag on the last day and they all went away tired but with smiles on their faces.

Megalodon 1st Thoughts


I have been doing my Megalodon Rebreather course now for 2 days in this time we have covered all the basics of setting up the unit, basic priciples, learn't the skills needed to dive it and completed 3 dives to a maximum depth of 30m.

After this time I can say that all my thoughts are positive, it is easy to set up, easy to dive, it fits really comfortably on your back and the trim is spot on. Even with the front mounted counter lungs you don't feel cluttered at all and there is room to lift your head to look ahead when swimming in the horizontal position.

I have been diving on the COPIS version which is a MCCR (Manual Closed Circuit Rebreather) this has a constant flow of Oxygen fed into the loop but you have to manually add Oxygen via the manual addition button on the inhalation counter lung to maintain the Oxygen Partial Pressure, this is easy enough but your finger is non stop to maintain the PO2 from 10m on the ascent. I will be diving the APECS version from Thursday this is an ECCR (Electrical) so the PO2 is maintained by a computer and Oxygen is injected into the loop when required via a solenoid.

I have to say I am very impressed with the Meg and will be serously considering buying one in the near future.

Megalodon Diving in the Red Sea

Hi Guys,

I am off to Sharm El Sheikh in March to meet up with some old friends and complete a Megalodon Rebreather course with Aaron Bruce. The main reason for doing the course is to get a better idea of what other rebreathers there are out there. This way when I get asked I can give a more informed opinion on the Inspirations competition.

I am off out there for 2 weeks and while I am out there I will be doing an instructor course (more on this when I get back). I will also be doing some gas diving, which will be a good start to the year. While I am there I will take photos of the hotel I am staying in and the dive centre and its facilities with the aim of arranging a trip out to the Red Sea later on in the year.

Don't forget the trips to Weymouth on Skin Deeper there are still a few places on both trips the first is the 6-7th March and the second 27-28th March for more information check the web site or drop me an email.

Cheers
