Went on my regular Thursday evening dive off Sawtooth Ledges last night with Rob,  first evening dive this year where I haven’t needed a torch.  May bloom is starting early this year as there is already some large bits of “gloop”.  We dropped down to about 25m and got a few Scallops to give to a couple of locals then went hunting in the ledges to see if we could bag a decent crab or lobster.  Spent 10 minutes wrestling this brute out of his lair.  All in all an enjoyable dive with a good 5-7m viz

As you can see from the picture Rob is absolutely comfortable with holding Crabs and in no way at all is he scared of them.   He made me take another picture where he managed a nervous smile but being the mate I am that one didn’t make it on here

First dive since our advanced nitrox and deco procedures course in Malta.  Good to see the skills have stayed pretty fresh in our minds.  We managed to do a decent bubble check/s-drill and definately dived as a better buddy pair.  Just need a stage now
