DIR-X baton visit Belgium

jeroen73 · August 8th, 2007, 12:07 PM

Last weekend me and my buddy Jorg drove to Belgium to do some diving in La Gombe a former sandstone pit. It was a weekend of so called border crossing diving days. A-M you probably all know was also there and handed the Baton X to me. I was very honoured to receive this from A-M.
We had a great dive. Maximum depth is about 30 metres with some nice obstacles placed around an old F84 from Belgium air force, some small boats, a cabin and some plastic tubes to swim through. There were some great fish as you can see on one of the pictures. There were also two very small caves (which by the way they were shouting our names, but as we do not have the right papers yet to do caves we skipped ;-) ).

Anyway we enjoyed and it was worth taking the trip.

Greetings,
Jeroen

Hey Jeroen.

Nice pics!!

Guess you were in the first group to go in?

Anton and myself went left from the pontoon and didn't have viz like that

He Marijn,

visibility was not that great especially on the left side of the pit. but what can you expect with that amount of people in the water at once.
So you have made a dive with Anton and I saw you on the DIR-NL list.

welcome we probably see each other.

greetings,
jeroen

The baton was on the boat I organised out of Weymouth in July and was signed by Team Foxturd and Milldog

But who else has signed it?

I think the visibility would be much better if I could enter the water at 12:00 instead of 15:00 after 3 hours waiting...
