Murk - 08/05/2017

It is a rare occasion when so many of the Avengers assemble, but tonight was one such night.The Kingmaker (in his new drysuit), the Zookeeper (with shiny new regs), Jester (with his usual bad chat) and me. We had deliberated over sites, but house on the back of a truck had convinced us to stay at Loch Long in what was to be a poor decision.

We kitted up at the roadside next to Conger Alley before splitting into to Red & Gold Squadron. Jester's job was to was to ensure Paul didn't have a drysuit disaster and mine was to make sure the Zookeeper was alright with her new kit.

It seemed simple enough as we slipped into the calm water on a bright sunny evening. However, once we got to 5m the true nature of our dive was revealed as the murk set in. Quickly visibility dropped to around one metre. A distance that was enough for Jester and the Kingmaker to be separated.

Without too many problems the Zookeeper and I successfully navigated the reef even spotting a nice sea lemon en route. 

Other than the banter, it was quite unremarkable.
