 First dive of 2010
Sunday, 11th April saw 14 divers, three non-diving partners and Rebecca as record-keeper at St Bride's Haven for our first dive of the season. The weather was perfect, the sea was, well, cool, and underwater viz was stunning! Colin brought along his new camera so those members who couldn't make it can see just how good it was.
  
Jackie & Maureen had so much to talk It's okay from him . . . . . . and he's having a reely nice dive!
about - did they ever get below the surface?
