Either you guys have really impressive salt water aquaria or you have been diving abroad. All my dives were in the UK with limited vis and subdued colours. Still great adventures though!

BSAC - Southsea SubAqua Club. So a fair amount of diving in the Solent (various pipes discharging into the water meant it was just going through the motions :slight_smile: ). Also Poole, Portland and Plymouth with the occasional freshwater dip in Stoney Cove. I mainly dived on wrecks but nothing deep - 40m was about my best.

Thanks for the pic of you going for 80m. I have a copper ingot retrieved from a wreck off Littlehampton at 90 metres. The guy who sold it to me (it was micely cleaned and mounted on a wooden board with the wreck name and date) said that he and his buddy went down on Nitrox, going as quickly as possiblt, attached the ingot to an airbag and came straight back up, no stops!

Sorry I understand now . F22 apature …5 second shutter speed and iso on 100 '. Tripod and low light as its just going dark . The longer the exposure the more fluffy the water gets

The beach in Monifieth at about 07:30am

Over in the distance you can see Tentsmuir Beach. At high tide this is where the “smaller” oil discovery rigs come in.

This is looking up the beach towards Barry Buddon. It’s an Army range and there’s a bloody great “Restricted” zone over it that almost reaches down to the beach. You can just make out the Air Traffic Control / Radar tower.

And this is why I prefer early morning walks, no people just gorgeous morning colours as the Sun rises. Oh, and I haven’t managed to levitate, I’m stood on the Monifieth rail bridge. It is made of wood and “bounces” when a train goes under at speed. Needless to say my kids get the hell off if they see anything coming. :grin:
