yesterday was at dosthill quarry in tamworth , really chuffed with doing it , thanks to damon (smudge ) for the advice and encouragement and which rubber suits feel nice :lol: :lol:

Paul
Well done Rich…and wetsuits should be banned…ewwwwwwww
Dawn
Well done mate, now book yourself a trip to Egypt and really start enjoying diving 
Well done mate and congratulations :bangreen: took your time getting there but you did it 8)
Now you can really start enjoying your diving
Egypt is good, but THE place is ‘The Great Barrier Reef’,
you never want to get out of the water!!!
Carribean is the place for wrecks,
Indian Ocean is good too.
Happy Diving.

Bollox … to you know who you are ! :lol:
Dived at both locations (multiple times) and must say i prefer Egypt.
Though beeing (half) Egyptian, speaking the language (grew up there) and the fact that we own a boat there and now all the good (non-tourist invaded) spots might have something to do with that…
Congratulations :lol:
J
Congrats mate.
I second that Dawn. …eeewwww…
whats it with rubber suit fetishes :? :shock:
:lol: :lol:
What can you actually see in these places…there is one near me & they do diving, but god knows what is in there? I must admit it would be weird scuba diving and seeing a couple of carps swimming round.
Well done Rich.
Next time you’re at Dosthill give us a shout
Deano where abouts are you? and Nelster we could have a GTO/3000GT mini meet at Dosthill in rubber suits :lol:
well dean , didnt see any carp but when this swam past i realised why i hadnt seen any :shock: :shock:

cool… I remember seeing a black tip off in the distance in Mexico and that scared the ■■■■ out of me. Although later I watched a school of fish being followed by a single barracuda…both made me freeze.
going to have to give the local padi school a call I think and get mine sorted…
Errr, that sounds a bit kinky 
I was thinking about a meet at The Fox, just round the corner from “Dossy”. Nice little boozer and they do food.
I might have to turn up in the Shrek mobile (S-max) because the battery on the GTO seems to be permanently flat :oops:
