Bloody early start... 6am!
Crazy boat ride out... we was on a inflatable rib like what the coast guard uses but this has a 225bhp v6 engine! 
Got all the way out... threw up once before the dive (girl i know! :lol
We dived a wreak called the Torbey which is a WW2 armed trailer... it was bloody awesome... decending down a line to the sea floor 30meters down was a real weird expirence... it gets black then lightens up when you get near the bottom.
Touching down on this wreak was fooking mental.
We had a good half hour swimming round it and looking in holds... i found loads of machine gun bullets, china cups and even had a run in with a dog fish which we grabbed and had a hold of! 
Accended up... got on the boat... and chucked up my guts again!
Overall was fucking mental... everyone should try it!
Ps... glad to be back on land... dont feel as sick as i did few hours ago!

I am a qualified diver.. however have never dived in the UK.. It does not really appeal to me.
It would be cold, visabilty would be crap and all you see when you get down there are fish like Cod, pollock etc.. Stuff you can see in tescos at the Deli!!!
I would like to give it a go i suppose..
I guess you were using a dry suit? You much be Padi Advanced yea?

I love diving. Went in the Dominican rep. its awesome following the line down, then sitting on the bottom looking up at the boat. Even tho it was only 16 meters, it seems like miles away
