The 50th picnic!

Everyone remembers certain milestones in thier diving careers. Ashley's deft planning created a wonderfull adhoc BBQ to celebrate her 50th! As with most dives it started with those famous words we all love to hear "hey wanna go for a dive?". From there the magic begins, and soon after others tag along.
9 of us gathered at the Brule road quarry for a leisurly 45 min swim in almost crystal clear 65 F waters. It practically felt like down south in our dry suits. A bright sunny day with a few clouds in the sky meant Gaetan and myself could snap away with our cameras to our hearts content. Even Ash got a chance to work in her drysuit and luckily had no leaks this time. Finaly a few folks got a chance to work in thier open water dives to start thier diving milestones.

Big thanks to Scott, Kim, Mike, and Dianne for all the help getting things together.
Here are a few pics to savour the day:




1. Ashley celebrating underwater.
2. Gaetan losing his head.
3. The site and weather conditions
4. Gaetan's dog wanted to dive too!
Just one odd note for folks looking to spend some time in this fine training site. There apparently is a new owner who showed up just before we were ready to dive. He plans on rebuilding and cleaning up the site with the aim to create a pay to play facility in the near future.

Stay tuned


Until next time keep blowing bubbles.
