look at all the pretty fishes!Howdy CharlieHope you are well. So this'll be my 5th post on your forum, prolific user that I am! There is a new second edition of Paul Naylors fantastic "Great British Marine Animals". Also if you buy through easyfunding at amazon you can get it for £9.90 instead of £15. It has pretty pictures and all those funny latin names too, so you can impress others! Nah. Incidentally anyone ever looked up the latin for "diver"? I chuckled, especially as I am a frequent one of those! Did you get any nice pics from our quarry dive? Haven't quite figured out how to eject the 35mm film from my £5 Lidl camera yet! Good luck and an advanced well done to all of you taking part in the Atlantic Divers event. Not so many of you going, uncharitable bloody students! I think you all know that I would be well up for it if I wasn't stuck down here in Plymouth. Take Care and dive safe Cheeky P.S check out my new workplace! www.ddrc.org We have a hyperbaric chamber capable of 200m dives! Let you know what I see down there!! |

yip, that naylor book is the one i have and it seems pretty good, and as cheeky says not too dear. also photos instead of drawings which always seems better to me.
i've spent too long looking at drawing which i know are meant to represent the animal i have seen but it doesnt. good good |
