The Far Mulberry!

|

Finally, a break in the weather and some sun and warm sea!

So, the planned dive was “go!” and we hit The Far Mulberry at about 3pm today.

Dive time was t53 Minutes, and there was plenty to see…. Teeming with fish, and only five divers down there in total!

















and finaly, Action Man gets a chance to breathe, having held his breath whilst strapped to may tank for the duration of the dive. No reg, no snorkel…. He’s just ‘ard!

Well, he isnt actually, because the Hasbro re-launch Action men are all a bit namby Pamby…. Only Vintage Action Man from the 70’s would be up to the task, but alas the salt would do too much damage…

Still, he appears to enjoy himself and of course, keeps an eye on my rear for any predatory fish ;)

Some video…

Palitoy back in the day….

I can fly!!!

With another skydivelooming, I decided to hit the tube to seek inspiration and maybe alittle rationalization in prep for the next jump. Everything about the jump screams “DANGER WILL ROBINSON” but whilst, like scuba, you must never forget that danger… keeping it foremost in the back of your mind yet always consious of it, you mustnt let it overide your enjoyment of the actual pursuit.

Watching that video, I can still feel the cold of the high altitude as well as hear the insane roar of the air as we fall.

Im going to see if I can forego the dorky overalls they provide at the site and jump in what I am wearing….

SO cant wait!

Enjoy!
