Big thanks to all those who decided to come out and brave the colder water today, ended up with a great turn out (Legobloxs, Birddog, Reefhound, Watermonkee, Drew, ElanorZ, Mclot, Vanessaarrr and toyzuki) not bad for local dive event 
Birddog and I arrived at the Blue Lagoon early to open up having stopped off to pick up the rest of her new BPW on the way. We were still filling tanks and screwing her new rig together when Mclot arrived, followed soon after by the rest of the group. With all the paperwork out of the way we proceed down to main beach on lagoon 1. Needless to say we had the pick of the shelters so everyone had plenty of room to gear up. The buddy teams were all soon in the water.
Birddog and I set off to with the highly precise dive plan of swim about and get comfortable with our drysuits and her new BPW. We crossed paths with Reefhound and Watermonkee early on then Mclot and Vanessaarrr later on as we worked our way across the lagoon zig zagging from platform to boat to boat etc... eventually making our way across to the cooling tower at the far end before heading back. Water temp was around 51f at depth but the viz was great despite the rain during the week. After about an hour we surfaced to see the rest of the group on the shore and made our way back, got packed up and headed to B52 brewery.
The brewery was very very busy with the market this week so we decided to head further south to Texas Beer Garden on FM1488, all of us enjoyed some B52 brews without having to queue for 1/2 hour.... All in all a great day of winter sunshine, good diving and great company and some beer.:beer
