First dive of 2008

It took until the 28th of January, but I've finally got back in the water for the first dive of 2008. It was a sunny, but very chilly day at Gildenburgh on the 28th when the Test Team gathered to put 14 regs through their paces. The water was just 5 degrees, but the payoff was some great underwater vis! After several hours in the water the Test Team were well and truly frozen, so we all headed to a nearby KFC to defrost and refuel on dubious chicken. Nice. We're going to go back in a few weeks (Gildenburgh, not KFC) while conditions seem really good to practice launching SMBs in preparation for my first trip on a liveaboard. Hopefully it should be the start of things to come in 2008 - plenty of diving!
Cheers, Martin.
