Portencross Castle & Galleon

OK, so we didn't find the galleon (we'll leave that for another day), but still had a good day's diving. Sun was shining when we arrived at what is a very pleasant site (although it could do with a WC).

1st dive was the treasure hunt: good exercise if nothing else! Gus & his girlfriend Rachel appeared with their shiny new car: very nice! He and Sarah went in for an enjoyable dive on the reef followed by the 3 stooges: Scott, Euan & yours truly. We had a splendid dive including spotting a mermaid's purse & a massivo lobster.

Spookily enough, our dive was 75 minutes in length which was exactly how long it took for us to get home (despite getting lost in West Kilbride: sorry for leading you on a wild goose chase, S&E!) Wink

yup quite enjoyed the second dive in particular. 1st dive was pretty much a non event although there was a nice dogfish! 2nd dive much better, but did feel the cold quite a bit and came up with a horrible headache! lobster was great, few big crabs aswell! definetely taking a goody bag next time!! Very Happy

Edd

sore head, please tell me u weren't on the piss the night before and thats why u had a sore head???

Scotty Boy

i actually wasnt!!think it was more to do with the fact that my ears were slightly sticky. was a beast of a headache though!!had the olbas oil stuck up me nose all week for saturday so all will be fine and dandy!!

Edd

ah i can see u have been well taught young one and glad to see ur diving loads!!! keep it up!!! Cool

scubaeuan

maybe olbas oil was the cause of it! im oretty certain sniffing it concentrated all day is a good idea.
