Very cold and wet this morning but down to the Deep 6 Diving centre for 0815 and sort my gear out.

I get on the boat and all the other divers are either wearing dry suits or semi-drys with these thermal-type liners underneath plus hoods, gloves, etc. Beginning to feel that the gear I have is not going to be of sufficient warmth for the conditions.

I was right! I dived with Sharon and Tim and after the first dive I decided there was not going to be a second that afternoon. Ultimately it is too expensive a sport if you do not enjoy it!
