One of the first signs of the impending dive season is our annual pilgrimage to the Dive show.
Normally we go to the show at the Excel Centre in March, however on Saturday we went to the new show at Olympia. The Show was a lot smaller than the others at the NEC in Birmingham and the Excel in London, but it had the same attractions and the advantage of being held in a location that was a bit more central.
Being slightly early it had the same effect on us as an extra warm weekend has on bulbs in the garden.
We retired to the pub after the show and spent many hours over many pints doing what all divers do best; we chose the sites we should visit first this year season, the best dives of last season, the biggest mistakes of last season/ever.
Anyway with a thick head on Sunday i realise that we are in fact many weeks away from getting in the North Sea.
