Local Potterings

Whilst battling with my dodgy snotty nose and bunged up ears (I know!) I did have a couple of very nice dives yesterday.

The water has really warmed up, even though my computer doesn’t seem to be registering it… I almost felt too warm on the first dive yay!

The first potter was at the infamous Ras Katy, supposedly a nice mild mannered site, however for the area, the current was positively howling today! We trudged against it for 20 mins and then drifted back in 5!

The same happened on Temple, which was great for all the fish coming out in their hordes, but not so much for my guests on their first day of the week. This is not normally a site where I have to encourage people to tuck down against the current, but I had to on this dive, using the pinnacles themselves as shelter against the full force. Ok we are not talking Shark and Yolande here, but for a local dive, it was quite a lively one.

I even wore a shorty on this dive too.. and had I been wearing a snug jacket, I would have been fairly warm. As it was, I got more than a bit nippy.. brrr. I guess I was being a little too hopeful there.
