Did 3 dives 2 acting as a student and one just a quick bimble about.  Vis was rubbish and no signs of fish life at all where we were.

 Fisrt time my cyber aqualand Nx had gone diving it worked fine.

New cylinder brought off ebay was good as well.

Should be a good craic!!!

I have also decided to camp and have booked a pitch at Budle bay campsite.

Had to change the booking though cos my wife and her friend are going to come with me to have a look round the area. so instead of my small tent got to take the huge great thing. Better for me can hang my kit everywhere and hack people off..

More soon
