Hello from Scotland

Bruce Sloan · 1st October 2007, 18:02

Hi Rebreather World,

My name is Bruce, but most divers can call me what they like !!
Born and bred in Edinburgh where i still live with my gorgeous wife Wili. We have 1 adult son and 1 teenage rebel boy.
Been diving for 29 years (last 10 trimix) (7 inspiration) now upgraded to Vision (Dived with a Hammerhead for a couple of years)
Used to be a brass demon but have calmed down a lot since getting the rebreather (and grayer !)
Was a member of the BSAC21's then Clyde Cronies then Edinburgh Divetech.
Still diving with my usual buddies of old (Mostly wreck diving)
See you around sometimes

maybe ?

Hey there Brucie!! How are things in the tropical north?

Hi Bruce,

We (my girlfreind Josie and I) were members of Divetech for a few years between 2002 and 2005. I recognised your name from the old club list. Nice to see you on here. I'd love to move back to Edinburgh and Scotland. Next job maybe.

I see your mates with Paul and Ann, thought you might be.

Hi Donal(third class 130mtr snorkeller),

Are you turning into a nomad?
You never seem to settle in the same place for long!

Hope you enjoy London. It's a great place.I lived there for 2 years.

What diving can you do in London apart from the Thames ?

Take it easy and don't leave any spanners in someones cranium !

Bruce.

Hi Dave/Josie,

Divetech is a really good club but, I did'nt really do much diving with them.
I certainly remember yourself and Josie(you should change your name to Francie!) what a team!

I have known Paul since he had lots of hair and a beard!

I was his best man. Don't see so much of him now, but had a nice curry with himself and Ann a couple of weeks ago. They are are fine couple and great dive buddies. Nobody dives more than them!

All the best.

Bruce.

Hi Dave,

Really pleased with the Vision. Apart from a duff cell six months ago, it has been running like a good dream!
