High altitude tarns
reveal hidden secrets >

"Tigerdive" - We've dived Small tarn and Grisedale tarn!

Webmaster Paul has updated these sites - so head to the Haweswater page and select Small Tarn. Also Grisedale tarn for an update on a bud who claims to have dived virtually all these tarns in the pioneering days back in the 70s and 80s !
We cant wait to read Barry Graham's reports on these.

The dive seaason is back and the weather looks glorious in the lakes. Have a safe dive and remember to let me know if you see any changes like Log felling with roads closed, dive site entry and exits out of action etc.

Steve had always been a hyper keen diver. Always keeping me posted of his latest exploits and offers to dive with him.

His photographic prowess made him the envy of many and many will be deeply saddened by his departure.

Our deepest condolences to Karen his wife, his family and his friends.

quote: "Death of Steve Carmichael-Timson – Funeral Arrangements It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that my husband, Steve, died on 2 March 2008. His funeral arrangements are as follows: An informal, non religious service will be held at Parc Gwyn Crematorium Narberth Carmarthenshire SA67 8UD 11:30 on Monday, 10 March 2008 and I ask that close Family and Friends say a few words about this wonderful man.

He does not want any flowers or wreaths but would like you to make donations instead to the RNLI in his name which is the only charity he supported. I need six strong men to carry his coffin. I hope some of you will volunteer. "

AGM's are on the cards, some have been held already, and inevitably there have been changes - please inform us - its in your own interest!

Yours kindly - Webmaster Paul

Global Warming Affects Lakes

Our latest readings from the lakes show that there is an unmistakable and alarming rise in lake temperatures.

Our previous temperature readings over a three year period (see dive sites such a Ullswater or Crummock for charts) show today that if we remove the February and March figures then add some - we come closer to the actual temp readings. Another method is to take the readings from the following month and you have an accurate idea of what the temperature might be in the current month.

We are now gathering a mass of new depth and temperature readings from local divers. If you have dived a Cumbrian body of water between Jan 05 and now - please email us Date, Lake/tarn name, dive site, depth reached and temp. Start and end temp are also valuable if you have uploaded your DC data to a PC. freshwaterdiver(at)tiscali.co.uk
