My birthday cake from 2 years ago. I also like sailing.
It is my birthday this week. Having reached the ripe age of 62 I find the possibility of a diving problem looming larger in my thinking. Older people are more likely to have a problem whether diving related or just through being older, less fit and generally falling apart. So I have become less aggresive in my dive profiles, taking more time on ascents and stopping more often. I'm starting to think the dive won't go away so I can always come back. I also carry oxygen now, especially as my son Alex dives with me a lot. I feel even more responsible. Yet we still do some good diving.
I was in the pool last Thursday and Friday, training with Stirling Uni on the latter. They have a lot of trainees this year so we are lucky to have a lot of helpers coming in from other clubs and two of the regional coaches also helping. Thanks everyone. I'll miss tomorrow as I'm going to Skye for a week and for once not diving. I'll be passing lots of good dive sites and be aching to get in. Ahh well.
Anyway for visuals this week I have a video. When we held a "come and try it" session last year I set the GoPro up in the corner and created a timelapse video of the event. So have a look and enjoy.
