I have now decided to shelve my website for the time being. The combination of a blog and flickr account seems much more flexible. In any case, I only ever used my website for photo sharing, so I will shortly migrate what I had there onto flickr. Must remember this page of underwater photos taken in the Red Sea last year, as it’s not an easy address to remember and I have no other links to it. Other links to my underwater photos I can access from an index page.
Thanks to everyone who posted after my return from Nice. I hadn’t really realised more than 2 or 3 people were reading ‘Beyond’. If anyone reading now wonders why it has taken over a month for another posting to appear, it isn’t because I’ve been licking my wounds after the failed record bid. It’s just that I’ve tried to remain true to the blog existence, which is as an apnea training and underwater photography log, and I haven’t been doing much of either!
That will all change from this weekend, where I have a 56 metre dive to accomplish at the NDAC. That should put me 2 metres short of the NDAC record, I believe. It will be interesting to see if my hood alteration will eliminate the ear squeeze I had last time. Also what effect the intensive couch potato training has had.
I did feel inclined to post a fortnight back, when London was plunged into chaos after the tube bombings. I didn’t, because there would have been too much to say, and nothing that anyone else hasn’t already said. It isn’t what this journal is about. I do think it is important to remember the people whose lives were either wrecked or destroyed, which is why I write now. Nothing to add more than that, as the other important thing is for us all to get back to normal living again, even when normal means holding your breath until you go blue.
