Washout 2 September 6, 2006
Posted by chris in : Uncategorized , trackbackOur week in France started windy and hot. Too windy - the vis was not promising. The dive shop suggested we joined the “advanced” dive Saturday morning. Hopefully one of the wrecks we have been trying to do for a while.
We thought we would have a go off the beach meantime but the water was too cold for our shorties. Last year it was 24C.. Oh well.
On Saturday morning we got up and left the flat at about 5.00 am and began the drive towards Marseille. It was misty and cold, at one point the car showed outside air temp as 13C (it was 35C the previous afternoon).
At the dive shop at 7.00 am it was still cold and a bit misty, but the wind had gone and as the sun broke the mist it looked like a decent morning. We were both tired, grumpy and uncomfortable after having got up at about 9 all the rest of the week’s holiday.
“What’s the dive?”
The skipper smiled “the big rock with the bear cave”. Hmm.. again? One of the most boring dives I can think of…
“Sorry…..”
We got back in the car and went home.
