Uk Diving » North Cornwall May '11 » Big boat dives

We felt for Emily and Angie when the wind really didn't want us to dive but they weren't down hearted and made sure we made the very best of every chance. A few of the fisrt dives were a bit murky but that was soon forgotten as the dives on Bawden Rock were spectacular.

Keith and Kat - Newquay Harbour	On the way to test the water - I was taking a short break...	The conditions weren't perfect	Not everyone was heartbroken at getting out	At least there was plenty of time for a snooze
Some people seem able to fit in a nap anywhere	Dave seemed to have built his trip around his sleep...	George counts us all	Emily briefing Jane Morgan - our celebrity visitor	Emily - radiant
Leopard Spotted Goby... we snapped whatever offered...	Wow, they have crustaceans in Cornwall too!	I do love a good urchin	Bawden Rock - vis at last	Who wouldn't be excited by all these Spiny Starfish?
Lots of Spiny Spider Crabs...	It's coming right us! What an aggressive crab!	Crabs meet to choose a starfish	The mussels couldn't quite overpower the Jewel Anemones...	Jewels surrounding a helpless group of mussels
Mussel - Anemone face off	The mussels were a buffet for the crabs and starfish	Dawn looming	Crab snacking as divers loom	Fighting over the best bits
Raring to go for another go at the rock!!	Nice kelp, shame about the vis - the Ballan Wrasse know's...	Down amongst the holdfasts and on the stipes there's no...	Leaving the crabs in peace	I think this one is a girl
Even a seaweed novice (like me) knows that the rough...	Very mature!
