DIR-X Baton in Canada

se2schul · March 26th, 2008, 03:33 PM

Hi guys,

I've had the baton in Canada and have now done more than a half dozen dives under the ice with it. It's more than ready to be passed on to whoever wants it.

On one dive with the baton, a group of crazy freedivers asked me to film them as they swam under the ice. If you're interested in seeing the video, here it is:

Sheesh... all this time, you've had it, and you never shared! *shock horror!*

If it gets back to the UK in the next couple of weeks - I'll happily take it to Asia and hand over to the guys there...

Too bad it wasn't passed arround...it could have showed up in a "WE GO DOWN" video.

If you want it, just ask and I'll pass it to you - that is of course why I posted and offered to pass it on.

I was under the impression that the rules of the baton were to dive with it, then post on DIR-X to pass it around.

??? Did I misunderstand something ???

BTW, I'll be at the quarry for 1pm Saturday if you want it then.

Aww.. we won't be in town this weekend... Heading to Beneath The Sea. Would it be possible to get it next weekend?

Sorry.. would have asked, but we didn't even know!

Have fun at BTS. I'll get it to you guys the following week.

I was only planning on diving with the Baton once and getting rid of it, however with the new toy (RB80) my attention has been focused on the pre-dive gear prep, keeping the scrubber warm, etc. I didn't even remember that I had been carrying the baton around.

You are forgiven.
