It was just a try dive. My pal wanted me to keep him company. 40 mins dive, down to about 10m down in Puerta del Carmen.
I'm advanced open water, but gonna do the full course with him as not dived since 1986 on Great Barrier Reef.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Sweet. I did my PADI OW last year specifically to dive in the Maldives (which beats a purpose-flooded quarry in Kent, I don't mind telling you). Was going to do the Advanced out there but ran out of time and enthusiasm.
Always next year.
And remember, it's ok to do it in your wetsuit, never in somebody else's.....

Re: What have you done today thread?
Had a nurse around to assess the m-i-l for the GP surgery. I was listening whilst working and chuckling to myself, as she always does this when any 'official' comes around:
Nurse: Can you make yourself a drink?
MIL: Yes, I can get myself a drink anytime. Make a cup of tea or juice.
Now this is complete bollox. She can barely pick up a plastic mug, let alone a kettle or open the fridge door.
Nurse: Can you walk ok?
MIL: I walk very well for my age.
Again, complete bollox, you only have to look at her feet to see she can't, but up she gets and effects the most pained walk before giving in.
Nurse: How's your eating?
MIL: I eat really well, i make myself toast in the morning and I eat everything that's put in front of me
Again, bollox. If we can get her to eat half a sandwich for lunch and half a side plate of dinner we've done well.
Luckily Mrs. Gremlin was in there and put him right on her condition, but I had to laugh, as when the nurse left as the MIL said, 'I could do with a cup of tea now'
FIL turned to her and jokingly said, 'Fuck off and make it yourself being as you still can. And while you're at it we'll all have one!!'
Despite her arthritis she still managed to stick two fingers up at him!

We all used them for donkeys years. But we never knew which one was actually Geoff.
There was a skinny guy with glasses. And fat guy with beard.

Some pronounced gravitational effect on those bikes. Nice example.
