You should try to do some uk cave diving whilst there its 100% different, more a means to an end rather than the purpose itself - whole different kind of fun

Heck Duncan wants to take me digging when Im there in Oct - mad - raving mad - all of them!

as mad as a box of frogs!

But I figured I should go digging at least once - if for no other reason than I can stand in the Hunters and understand the lingo, talk about drafts and stuff

, box of frogs - all of them

I decided to take the trip down memory lane and drive to stoney and get some liposuction on my dry bag, Now you can stop taking the piss and saying I look fat in it when we meet next month

.

If its back before I leave I have a few offers and may just take a dip.

I going to drive to Delta p and take a tour of the factory, need anything bringing back?

Cheers Matt

I'm sure you could hire a wetsuit while you are stoney

Anyway, gutted for you, first for missing out on the trip and secondly for having to stay in the UK... I bet you are wearing your thinsulate full time

No but we saw your reel.

haha well if you were at 110m you saw my 1st reel that I abandoned clipped to the line cos it all went tits up and unspooled itself

(so much for my cool homemade reel design

) the cave steps down shortly after to 120m and the line continues for some way further before dropping agian to 140m

(guess Id better go clean up my mess next month and pull that birdsnest out

)

btw did you see if the habitat was still ok?

Hi Dave

hope you and the better half are well,

sure guys and girls were in wet suits, none were smiling and it's no wonder as it was only 16 degrees surface temp let alone in the water.

I did order a new set of undies from O-three when I arrived and have not taken them off yet, as its so freekin cold.

Im sure our trip to PI will be a much smoother ride than this trip looking forward to it already.

See you both soon

Mike
The habitat was almost on its side and filled with water, other then that should be salvagable. I made it to 123 meters without a scooter and made it there just shy of 20 minutes. Is it possible to reach 140 m without a scooter? I was thinking of going back down and trying to reach the section where you said it starts going horizontal. Your reel is still there, not to much messed up.
