First dive Last dive 		20 Jun 1982 Eyemouth Forth Scotland 12 25 25 Iain Hosking, Ceri Reid Three stars Ceri was borrowing Susan's dry suit, so we first checked his buoyancy, venting and inversion recovery. Another scenic dive, notable for numbers of squat lobsters and sea anemones (one of which was eating a squid!). Also fish of various types, and jellyfish. Vis not so good, about 6m. Some trouble with sinuses on coming up - pretty sore. Saw divers jumping off 50' cliff into cove. own

First dive Last dive 		22 Mar 1987 Eyemouth Forth Scotland 12 20 20 Iain Hosking, Craig McQueenie Three stars Took Craig McQueenie in for his first dive. Turned left at Weasel loch (won't do that again). Suffered the unnerving sensation of feeling water pouring down the back of my neck (confirmed by a post-mortem on the woolly bear). Very, very cold.
