you BSAC or PADI?
Click to expand...
Both

Started with PADI in 2010 on holiday and am now with BSAC. I stopped doing PADI certification after being qualified to dive to 40m and probably will stick at that as a depth qualification. Just doing rescue management now.

I dive with quite a serious group really. It isn’t unusual to find that they have just come back from a trip to dive something like the first HMS Victory. One was very involved in the raising of the Mary Rose. That sort of thing.

The Kingston Panthers basketball team was one of the teams the Allams threw out of the Arena.

Personally, I don't know why Acun would be interested in such a minority sport in the UK, even the twelve top flight clubs only have average attendances of about 2,000. He could probably buy a rugby league club that already play in the same stadium for a quid.

He'd be better off sorting a tie-up with Hull City Ladies first.

Perhaps if he did he may think what he is doing for the club might encourage supporters to also follow his basketball team if he did do it and he is a showman so an indoor event regular would definitely have glitz attached to it.

Excellent, I dived the Swan up near Duit Castle, which was one of the supply ships to the Mary Rose.a really interesting trip watching them lifting bits & bobs of it ( a 5 yr project I believe) and it now resides in Sterling university
 
Anyone else been to the bomb range between wid and hornsea? Just south of mapleton. Oh what fun finding what appeared to be unexploded ones on the beach, lug it all the way to the top of the cliff and lob it off to see if it would detonate.

I've heard people tell of being up in the hills with military jets flying past beneath them. That must be a bit special.

Yes. It happens to us frequently in North Wales. The RAF uses the hills around Beddgelert for low level training.

That looks a great site to dive. Last year
I dived the Coronation which is just cannons now.
I also dived the HMS Scylla two weeks before it claimed the life’s of two divers and was closed.
I have cancelled a dive trip to Sweden this year. Diving on near intact 16th century wrecks.
 
He gets around, does Acun - Dominican Republic, next day Hull, Next Day Istanbul, Next day Miami

We have helicopter training base not that far from us and the Apache gunships had a dedicated route and hover points. They would hide near the junction of the A34 / A303 and seem to pop up right in front of you as you drove along. They are quite scary, when the point at you.

deffo agree with this. used to work at agusta westland for a while and would see the apachies doing this popping up from behind a hedgerow quite a lot. scary but cool.

If you ever get the chance to dive Scapa, they are the most spine tingling wrecks I've ever done
