Can I come? I haven't dived off St Abbs in YEARSOriginally posted by cojak View PostOff to St Abbs and East Scotland diving for a week, beginning of August.

no no no no. they start little, then grow big.Originally posted by Menelaus View PostThey're flipin' HUGE.
Never been up close and personal with one other than in a zoo but they're massive.
We knew there was a male adolescent in the area, and I came face to face with him, about six feet away. He was about the same size and build as I am, maybe a little shorter. He turned round and disappeared into the trees.
the missus was behind me, ten feet back, so I guess he thought he was outnumbered.

She is fine, as long as I am between her and the monsters.Originally posted by Churchill View PostYeah, the last thing you want to come across is something huge and hairy when you're in the forest. How is the Mrs btw?
If you want to see a grown woman cry laughing, ask her about the time I got between a ten foot male camel and a couple of his harem.
Believe me, there is nothing funny about being chased across the Australian desert by a ten foot beast sporting a three foot boner
