Lundy - Day 1 - 20th May 2017

20/5/2017

So the day had arrived after the boat being booked a year, for our much awaited club diving trip to Lundy.
Lets start with the weather, day started with a light drizzling of rain, followed by overcast conditions, with sea state slightly choppy... during the journey out a shout of "Dolphins" went up... Rachel who was asleep moved exceptionally quickly but nothing to be seen.  She moved much quicker later in the day!!!!
First dive of the day was a scenic dive, with lots to see (including a seal sighting -more about seals later!)...Crabs, lobsters, Jewel Anemones, Cup corals, pink sea fans and yes Nudibranchs..... The hour went really quickly, so surfaced we did.  So that was Rachels' 400 Dive.... unfortunately club rules were broken... yes she did it in a drysuit and not a bikini....forfeit time...

Then the sun came out, so a surface interval followed, in "Seal Bay" lots of seals, bobbing up and down close to shore looking at this boat of potential playmates.

​Dive 2, only one aim - Dive with Seals....so the question is Did we?  Well lets just say some of us did! where the others looked we still do not know... and we also know with no picture "It was not real"... so an unedited picture is presented.  It was an amazing dive...

Then to really make the day, on the way back from Lundy a pod of 20 plus dolphins came to ride our bow waves...
​Did we have a great day - YES WE DID...
