Failed to dive the HF due to weather (Wind force 7, sea state 4) so 'Let's do 50m in the quarry!' Good idea, except the fantastic vis lasted till 8m, below which was a pit of a yellowish evil-smelling substance not at all conducive to diving in. So we stayed above it and raised a rusty bolt with a makeshift lifting bag. Haven't had so much fun since I crashed the car. | own, Rollo's twin 55s. | |

9 Mar 1986 | Breda | Benderloch | Oban | Scotland | |
28 | 23 | 25 | Iain Hosking, Ian Harrington |  |
Almost a year since my last dive on the Breda. It hasn't changed a bit - as silty as ever, especially after 8 other divers have been all over it. To make this a worthwhile dive it is essential to hit it first thing in the morning. Relaxed dive. | own, twin 55s | |

4 Oct 1986 | Bass Rock | Forth | Scotland | 21 | 28 | 30 | Iain Hosking, Ian Harrington | |
Beautiful, sunny, cloudless day. Quite good sea conditions, but old boat very soft on the way out (we pumped it up for the journey back). Undulating rock bottom covered in brittle stars. Highlight of the dive was a convoy of huge jellyfish, two of them lion's manes with 3m stinging tentacles (ask Ian!). A good day out. | Mark's suit, fins, weightbelt, tank, knife. Malc's woolly bear and mask. Own tank. |
