Almost every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday PAINTING WEEKEND before The idea of splashing a bit of idea that those who actively assist will receive a “free” paint around the club-house dive. The club waives all charges on any equipment and sprucing it up a bit is now needed, you only have to pay the boatman. So people out of the starting blocks and are needed for taking stuff down, clearing stuff up, even over the first hurdle. For sorting stuff out, putting stuff the outside, including the cannon and anchor, the MMCS back in, cleaning stuff, will take care of it. For the inside - several have come sanding down stuff, forward to say that they will lend a hand. Someone has basically…stuff. This stuff will offered to donate paint: another has said that he can happen on Sunday 4th July after provide painters as long as the surfaces are as ready for from 09:00 am onwards for as painting as can be. The committee has approved the long as it takes. □ Negativity: gets you down, man The human body is naturally buoyant. People float. and 50bar because that’s what you’ll be surfacing Well, normal healthy live people float. Add with. neoprene and they get really floaty. Divers need weight to sink. Now some of this is provided by It’s just as important not to be overweight either. your equipment. A 12l steel cylinder filled to OK you get to sink all right, but then you have to 200Bar holds about 2.8kg of air and is negatively keep air in your BCD to counteract that additional buoyant to roughly 1.6kg. Then there’s your regs, weight. Again, during the dive it’s not too much mask, computer and any other equipment most of bother – but what happens at the end? Now, as which is probable slightly negative as well. you ascend, you have to keep air in your BCD to Sometimes all this negative buoyancy alone will be keep counteracting that extra weight. For every enough to start you sinking. And that’s what we’re kilo at 6m you need an extra 1.6 litres of air. Since, really after. Because when the water pressure as we know, the pressure differentials become doubles and reduces the volume of your wet-suit more severe the shallower you are, the more extra and anything else compressible then your positive air you have at that depth the more dangerous the buoyancy will be reduced further and you’ll carry situation. on sinking. Performing a weight check isn’t rocket science But what about the end of the dive? Say you’re either and can be done as part of any ordinary coming up at 60 BAR. 140Bar of air weighs 2kg. dive. You pick a nice easy dive, with a familiar And as you are ascending, particularly in those experienced buddy. Your buddy carries at least 1 last 10m, your suit is expanding again, even if not extra kilo. You agree the plan. You dive to the same extent as before. So now you are at conservatively. At 6m you stop, preferably on a 6m, and you are now short of weight, by about 2 dSMB. You empty your BCD. You dump your air to kilos. At the start of a dive there is no danger with 50bar. Your buddy (who is of course over- being underweight except current or hitting your weighted) keeps hold of you and you hold your head on the boat as you are bobbing along in the buddy. Friendly stuff this. On your agreed signal – sea. You’re not going to suffer DCI from being on agreed in the plan of course – your buddy lets go the surface. But if underweight and shooting to the of you and you let go of your buddy. If you still surface at the end of a dive then you’ve got sink, you are over-weighted – give your buddy a serious problems. So the most important purpose kilo. If you begin to rise you are under-weighted, of your lead is to counteract the weight you lose now take that kilo. When you just hang, then you during a dive. The real aim of weighting is to be are just right.□ neutrally buoyant at 6m with no air in your BCD Brass Monkeys It’s cold. It’s official. Jumpers are on at MUG and the body to warm it. It makes a difference. Just the shivering has started on the boat. The fair- these 2 simple things can help stop a dive from weather divers will be packing their stuff away, being aborted early due to cold. But nothing while the passionate push on through. The best vis changes the wind chill effect when you’re back on I ever saw here was in the middle of winter. Under the boat. So don’t sit in it! Sit down in the boat.

Vade Retro is getting 5mm colder water, a hood would be it. Instant neoprene in the middle of June, and I assume that improvement. A tight t-shirt under a wet-suit the Saekodive outlet in Rosehill also has 5mm provides an extra layer to trap water which allows suits.□ While we’re on the subject “Cold enough to freeze the balls of a brass When it got cold, ice would form on the monkey” is an expression often used in England to cannonballs making them liable to fall, and when it mean “Gosh, it’s really jolly cold”. The usual got really really cold the monkey would contract, explanation of its origin is that it comes like many the pile would be unstable, et voila, balls would be other odd expressions in the English language frozen off the brass monkey.

In early 2008, the music community lost three significant community members, Chuck Day (blues musician), Alton Kelley (prominent poster artist) and Martin Fierro (saxophonist), accelerating the need to capture the histories of these unique cultural contributors. The Marin History Museum took up the charge to preserve this dynamic history while the key contributors were still alive to share their unique stories.
