Ticked off a third resolution at the weekend, and took the PADI Advanced Open Water course with my local diving club, Big Squid. Had a great, but knackering time (three dives a day for two days takes it out of you it seems).

And before anyone says it, here are some pics to show it did happen ;)

Was dang cold, so dry suits were mandatory.

Richard and Stephen discovered that "dry" often meant "damp"

And that using talc on seals gives you a fetching grey halo. David (foreground) was kind enough to give me a lift on Sunday.

But we did all the dives, and after a bit of form-filling, we were sorted.

So now I'm 30% of the way through my aims for the year, and its only March. Might go look at those kitchen cupboards now...
