| The guys
meeting at the shop ready for the Xmas trip. |
Signing in for
the day. |
All aboard the
Mermaids 1 vessel for the Xmas trip. |

|
 |
 |
 |
| Jason's
friend, Lee - looking very festive. |

boat briefing under Will's close eye. |
Will's turn to
take the stage and give the dive briefing at Koh Rin. |

|
 |
 |
 |
| Mr. David
Chandler, our renowned Videography expert is out for the day to capture
the event. |
Will and Mark
share a joke in the cabin. |
CDC Boss goes
through the surface side of the FFM equipment with Elf Stuart. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Steve wonders
why his suit is too tight even before Xmas lunch. |
Stuart has
been primed in the FFM and is ready to go. |

the OK for the dive. |

|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Lee on the
surface ready for the organizing of the "underwater Xmas". |
The boss and I
wait whilst Santa's helpers get the table and chairs - oh, don't forget
lunch also. |
After managing
to successfully kick up the bottom the visibility goes to zero - but here
comes the table. |
| |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| The Christmas
tree make it's appearance. |
Lee and Steve
take the "first" attempt at attaching the tree to the table. |
Lucy looking
very dapper in her FFM and Tinsel - pity I cannot hear what she is saying. |
| |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| In come the
chairs. |
Lee listening
to Steve's commands as he brings down the Xmas lunch - bananas and coke. |
No drinking
and driving and certainly no drinking and diving - unless a coke that is. |
| |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Santa kept
losing hi hat. I believe that it was retrieved 200 meters from the boat
but Alex. |
Lee
surfacing from a dive with an unusually dry face. |
Jimbo has just
finished the washing up and forgotten to take off his marigold gloves. |

a shower after the dive. |
|
|
|
| The
conditions for the underwater Xmas were not ideal but all had a great day
out. Lucy, Stu and Lee had a good experience with the Full Face Mask
diving communication gear. We'll get them certified and possibly
instructors in this field also - we like to give good bonuses here and
there - we're kind like that - well, after all - it is Christmas!
