Couldn't have had a worst start to any day.  I woke around 04-30; it was absolutely lashing down with rain.  I tried to get back to sleep but the noise of the down pour was too much.  I got up at 05-30 and washed up from last night.  A shower, some tea and toast and I got my kit ready.  Max arrived at 06-45; we had a slow journey west.  The rain stopped just after Bridgend;there was no wind; if it keeps up like this it'll be perfect for diving; so much for weather forecasts.  We arrived at WWD just before 09-00; the crew were assembled; there would be ten of us, so we needed to use two boats.  The logistics were difficult but we were on the water before 11-00 and heading towards Skomer.  I assisted Richie with the two female trainees.  The one with me had some difficulty on descent, but afterwards, completed a very successful dive were we saw lots of spider crab, Pollock, plaice, anemones and lots of seaweed.  Later in the day I dived with Max.

We were back at WWD by 4-30, but it was around 5-30 before we headed for home.  The weather had turned; it was raining really hard.  Arrived home 7-30; washed my kit down and settled down to a couple of hours in front of the telly.
