hello all, mike marsh, skipper of the "killer prawn" (till she moves on to her next berth) at swanage.(divers down)
I sometimes get to take the "swanage diver" to sea!
I have been skippering dive/angling and fishing boats since i left the army (rgj) in 1984, although i had a local boatmans licence prior to that. I served in the swanage lifeboat for some years (father was coxn/mech) my brother in law is the current coxn, and a couple of nephews are crew so still links to the institution.
i dont dive myself anymore but get to take lots of divers out to the wrecks/sites locally.
followed the link on yd, and hope to stay abreast of developments, trends, and of course gossip on this and other (swm, bsac, traveldive, and all the usual suspects:D) sites.
I have taken some dir lads out on occasion and have been impressed by the teamwork and good diving practices that i have seen!

looking forward to keeping up with whats going on!
mike.
