Hi Madmole,
good to have you back on the surface and board again.
madmole once bubbled...
... Martin Parker on Saturday was giving out some rare info on the inspiration... :wacko:
I assume you're talking about the little get-together of Inspirations. :)
Please drop us a few lines and fill us in, will you?
I'm curious how it went, and what news there are. :rolleyes:

Yep, this sat and sunday something like 60-70 yellow boxes got together in Plymouth for some diving. We had 5-or 6 hard boats booked
On saturday, one boat went off to hit the deeper stuff but all the other boats headed out to the Persier in 30m. Was 30C bright sunshine and 10m+ plus viz on the wreck, water was 12C. Was amazing to see so many yellow divers on a wreck at the same time and so quiet. Great dive, Then in the after noon we all hot the James Egan Layne and WWII liberty ship in 20m and begining to break up, I swam the whole length of her inside and left quite a bit of yellow plastic on several holes and doorways
That evening we had presentations from Gordon Henderson (of DDPlan fame), Penny Glover (BSAC rebreather head honcho) and Martin P. Nothing new to report, but Martin had some great slides on what not to do to your RB. He's provisionally agreed I can host them on my site, so I'll put them up as soon as I get them
Sunday was another scorcher and Our boat went out and did the Eddystone Lighthouse (and I seem to have a leak in my right sleeve, probably from crawling through the sharp bits of the JEL the day before), we then did the JEL again sunday eve
Great weekend, magic weather (a bit too hot?), we were all sunburnt and frazzled and glad to be heading home
Now to find that leak!!!

Final count is in it was 78 Turtles on 7 hard boats and 2 RIBS
Hey, nearly more turtles diving at the same time than most over CCRs have ever sold!!!

sort of thing.
