 | Norfolk Autumn '08 As Autumn arrives there's definite feeling of diving on borrowed time with each extra visit to Norfolk. This omnibus collects dives from September and October, including the wildlife on parade for our Norwich Seasearch course, the first outings for the Seasearch boat 'Dangermouse' and a day's diving which was disrupted by the discovery of a fouled net. |
 | Kalimantan '08 - Indonesian Borneo - Nabucco and Sangalaki What a trip! We'd wanted to extend our Borneo diving after visiting, what is now very busy, Sipadan 4 years ago, but Sangalaki had been off the radar for a while. Finally it was due to open again so we jumped at the chance but thought it would be prudent to spread our time between two islands in the area just in case things weren't quite ready... Still missing some captions! |
 | Holland - May 08 This was our best planned trip to Holland yet, and so only right that it should go off the rails straightaway... and the Zeelandbrug was filthy and pretty much free of cuttlefish thankfully some of the other sites were just as packed with animals as before, phew! Another interesting twist was that the regional tourism gods had started to update the facilities and now there were toilets even in the middle of nowhere! |
 | Swanage October 08
In the end this was my last dive trip of the year, many thanks to William for
inviting me along. We had the last of the good weather and in fact some of the
best conditions of the year - flat seas for diving the Kyarra! As we came back
after the last dive all the boats in the bay were being pulled out in
expectation of a BIG storm, perfect timing William! |
 | The Isles of Scilly September 08
We'd wanted to go to the Scillies for years.
What better way than with Sally masterminding the like-clockwork logistics
for a week of wildlife watching? Although the weather wasn't at its best we saw
lots of good stuff and we didn't miss a dive. The island was a great tranquil
base and it was very tempting to stay.There are two sets of galleries, one cheery set
with bad jokes and dodgey captions and a sneaky set of spotters guides where we
tried to name all the stuff we saw - take your pick but be warned that lots of
the same animals turn up in both! The Spotters Guide has its own index too... |
 | Norfolk Survey Weekend August 08
We had high hopes for our Survey Weekend but all bets were off when we arrived to 2m waves at Cley... We went for a walk but William went in! By the evening things had calmed and David dragged us away from a baked Alaska to night dive the Rosalie... it was dark, surgey and mostly covered in crabs. Sunday was a different story, we dived both wrecks and completed a GPS plot of the Vera - many thanks to Sarah for heroically towing the survey buoy. |
 | Skomer Scallop Survey August 08
With only happy Welsh memories we cried ourselves to sleep when Kate's trip was blown out earlier this year. Happily it was re-scheduled and we were set to survey scallops... god it was hard work! There were plenty of scallops, filthy old scallops, to clean so we could count their rings. The oldest were in their twenties and there were hundreds... Shellfish shaving apart there was a lot of interesting stuff on the seabed too, clingfish, porcelain crabs, mystery gobies and blennies as well as Pogges and a big Red Gurnard |
 | Norfolk in August 08 Part 1
By August the water was balmy... so we got in as many dives as we could. On this early weekend we dived the Vera and Rosalie twice each and the next Rob was treated to a dive on the Nubia off Sea Palling with GYSAC. Conditions were not yet at their best but Dawn found some tiny new nudibranches on the Vera and we were able to take wideangle pictures of the wrecks - oh and Dawn took some topless beach shots to show how warm it was... |
 | Crab rescue Sept 08
Put online for the MCS and any press to use. Pictures of the rescue - taken by William Hutchins, and a selection of the net underwater and 'jagged wreckage is perfect for snagging fishing nets' background pictures. |
 | Salthouse long weekend land and sea July 08
In July we had to spend a couple of days invigilating at the Salthouse Art Festival and that seemed like the perfect excuse to spend a long weekend on the coast diving as well as acting as 'artists' |
 | North Devon July 08
After being cancelled last year this summer's wasn't all wine and roses either, cue bibical rain! After a couple of days of National trust sight seeing we eventually found the the vis around North Devon hadn't recovered... so our last day was a trip to Lundy - where we had much better vis than on our trip in May. Many thanks to Sally for arranging the trip and acting as our minder for a few days of surface tourism too.. |

Norfolk
July 08 - Part 1
Our early July haul from Norfolk wasn't as large as we'd hoped as the weather has been 'mixed'. We got in a dive on the Vera on the day our exhibition launched in the Salthouse and Sam and Tony from Great Yarmouth bravely put up with Rob and freaky downpours so we have a couple of diving galleries. |

Norfolk
Omnibus Edition - June 08 digest
June was a very busy month... We held a Seasearch Observer course with 19 keen divers and (unfortunately) no diving, a Nudibranch ID course with Jim Anderson who travelled down from Scotland to tutor and still (frustratingly) no diving and then we were invited out by Mick from NEDSAC and suddenly there was vis off Cley and impossible numbers of slugs off Sea Palling. At last the East coast was open again! These galleries show all of that... |

Lundy
- Seasearch Lundy MarineID Course and diving - May 08
We jumped at the chance to join Sally's trip to Lundy, arriving fresh from Holland in time for a primer course on local marine ID. The course was hosted by Ilfracombe SAC who were a great bunch and dived from Obsession II. |

Plymouth
- Seasearch Sponge Course and diving - May 08 It's always a pleasure to join Sally's well organised trips, the conditions in Devon are usually better than those up in East Anglia and you really can't find a more authorative source than Bernard Picton. It was a very enlightening and great fun.The microscope sessions at the MBA revealed the amazing, beautiful selection of shapes which sponges create to form skeletons but give little hint at from the outside. |
