seriously we might all be on to something....... Me and my wife dive but only when we can get a baby sitter! what about organising some local meets and diving in shifts, so some dive and some baby sit then vica versa???

not ideal but at least we all get to dive…

I’m gutted as my club are diving angelsey Sunday, wifey is working so I have to babysite, Love my daughter but what a bummer!!!

babysitting service would have been a great idea

I know what you mean Dave!!! But that is what the grandparents are for

Haven’t Dived Anglesey yet might try and get over there sometime in the future! Not to far for me when you think about it!!!

Adrian,

That is what I believe grandparents are for, however my mum is of a rather differing opinion.  David’s parents are virtually never seen.  My step brother lives miles away and all the rest of my family live abroad.  Consequentially I am completely scuppered as a rule.  David has no leave left which hasn’t already been booked and I work Saturdays (other than during school hols)

DivingDave - I’d go for that - the daft thing is that each dive isn’t that long and if it’s near a beach or something, my two will potter for ages in rock pools or building sandcastles, or, in a playground.  Maybe see who else may be interested?  We could maybe have a mass babysit/ shift-diving in Cornwall????

best wishes,

Maria

I could go for that Maria!

Maybe I could talk my wife into having the lot I think I would have to approach that subject very carefully lol or just turn up at the site with them in tow and spring it on her last minute  

Better to as for forgiveness rather than permission

Maria - I total get you, I have taken to including activities for none divers in all shore dives. Still think its a good idea, maybe its something divefest should consider!!!

Adrian - I go back to my previous statement you are one brave man!! if I tried that on my wifey various parts of my baby making equipment would be removed and handed back to me in small pieces lol

Yeah mine too!!!!   

Still I like to live dangerously

I taught my girlfriend to dive after going out together for 6 months, that was over a year ago and she wants to dive every weekend now.

Hi Pete

You don’t say where you like to dive, perhaps we could arrange something.
I am always willing to travel for a good dive.
