Good for Wales..........probably bad for Whales!

Imhave never understood why more use is not made of wave power.

Wind is unpredictable

Solar is unpredictable

There are algorithms that can tell,us the state of the tides in 75 years time

Guaranteed twice a day....tide comes in, tide goes out. I do not think it has ever been known to stop

Just wavering

[binky 1,076]

totally agree, but you have to remember what an agressive environment the sea is  - it has bad habit of breaking things

In the past we have tried underwater

Shove ha'penny

Table tennis

Snooker

Tennis

Darts

Long jump

High jump

Moon walking

Ironing

Eating mars bars, bannanas, drinking....all fairly standard Deco stuff

Never tried kiting though......yet

All,the above usually done at about 30 m

Unfortunately there are no pictures...nobody wanted the responsibility of carrying the camera for the duration of the dives!

Somewhere i have pics of us holding huge dead salmon in the style of ZZ Top guitar stance

Why would you take a DEAD salmon into the water for a picture, couldn't you catch a live one?

Nah, they were just lying dead on the bottom.

Made a change from being overtaken by a rotting sheep carcass whilst on a drift dive!...Nice!

[Sharpend 1,169]

You need to choose your dives more carefully, what's the enjoyment of watching dead animals drifting??

My mate thought that when he elected to "vigorously poke the body with a tree branch"

This was considered by all on the dive to be a 'bad move'! Neither he nor the sheep will do it again. The two kayakers above us on the river were less than impressed

[Sharpend 1,169]

And that's what puts me off diving in this country.

[binky 1,076]

there's dead things in the water everywhere.
