Resolution Update - Advanced Open Water

Ticked off a third resolution at the weekend, and took the PADI Advanced Open Water course with my local diving club, Big Squid. Had a great, but knackering time (three dives a day for two days takes it out of you it seems).

And before anyone says it, here are some pics to show it did happen

Was dang cold, so dry suits were mandatory.

Richard and Stephen discovered that "dry" often meant "damp"

And that using talc on seals gives you a fetching grey halo. David (foreground) was kind enough to give me a lift on Sunday.

But we did all the dives, and after a bit of form-filling, we were sorted.

So now I'm 30% of the way through my aims for the year, and its only March. Might go look at those kitchen cupboards now...

oh good god tom, how can you go swimming in britain? in this or any weather??

i say you ought to go on holiday somewhere warm in the summer and get the certificate at half the price. but of course that wouldn't be anywhere near as fun or as challenging :)
