Hi from a british dive chick!

Hi,

Found my way over here following people's views on the diving of HMS repulse by the GUE team. I'm normally part of a couple of fora in the UK.

Been diving a couple of years, usually fairly distinguishable by the bright pink twinset. Dive all round the UK, south, scotland and wales. Love both wrecks and life. Not a huge tekette (although the dark side is drawing ever closer.....) and saving up for a YBOD.

Will be nice getting to know a whole load more divers although the odds of meeting up for a weekend dip might be somewhat reduced!

Welcome to the group! Please share a little background on the HMS Repulse dive. I'm not familiar with the project or the controversy.

It's nice to meet divers from the UK. From what I read in Diver/Divernet.com it seems like you folks are a pretty interesting bunch.

If you're ever in the mood for some easy dives in clear, warm water, just pop over the pond and visit us in South Florida. The diving is wonderful.

Best wishes and safe ascents,
Grier

Ah yes, Divernet! I pop in once in a while but most the time I'm part of YD (www.yorkshire-divers.co.uk) a far friendlier bunch with pisstaking by the bucket load.

As for the HMS Repulse issues.....

A somewhat differing group of opinions, just personally i wouldn't have dived it although I have dived many wrecks on which life has been lost i have never and would never dive a designated war grave. As for other wrecks my personal view is look but don't touch. What most disturbed me about this "documentary" was the showing of human ramains to rave music. This was completely unnecessary and thoughtless.

Anyway back to nicer subjects....

Whats the best brand of underwater mascara? still not found the ideal brand

Welcome from a flat hat shandy drinker in Florida. I am also on YD and followed the GUE thread there. As you say two different camps.

A Ha! Cdiver2 thought that seemed familiar, nice to bump into you!

Nice to meet you guys, I'm sure we'll get chatting about a dive or two.

Have you dived any of the wrecks around NI yet?. There are some great ones there.
