Much has been written about the jewel of Coll (see previous news letters), so it will come as no surprise to you that club members have made two trips there this year. The first trip was very enjoyable and Martin has supplied some pictures, more on the second visit later.

Ready for  a lift!

Bag inflating -
air is fed from the surface via a dedicated hose.

Curious spectator Wrasse!

Quite a site, it flew right out of the water before settling.

Grumpy and Martin also have a much bigger bag than this, but it does take a lot of air.

Tranquility returns

oOo

Coll in August

A new facet of one of our members was revealed:

Guess who had become ...

a photographer?!

...constantly on the lookout for a subject. 

All the while though a 'Special Personage' had been seeking out a place of 
tranquility for her birthday, not knowing 'Paparazzi Pete' (a. k. a. - Grumpy)
was there to record the event.

Well done Peter, this is one for the album!

Not even a bit of brass therapy could take away the urge.
Look out! Is he about to snap again?
