That takes me back. What a fecking horrible place to dive. It isn't *that* bad. I used to fill my wetsuit(*) with hot water from the showers before getting in, and the cheeseburgers in the pub were nice. Water temperature seemed to hang around 4C all year round. Hah. St.Albans Subaqua Club used to do a New Years Day dive there. Slipping on the ice while getting in/out was always a strong possibility. The club I learnt with (Leicestershire Scout Sub Aqua Unit) had (*) a tradition of putting a Christmas tree complete with lights and music in - usually on the 7m shelf. That tended to involve industrial quantities of cable ties, silicone sealant and car batteries so not that far off topic really. (*) Certainly back in the late 80's to mid 90's not sre if they still do it. |
