| Today is the
big day and Thomas is so excited that he is skipping with a UV-36 on his
shoulder. |

 |
Jerome, scooter
king of Cassis. Whatever you want, going cheap |
| The last day...
that means no more carrying these b*stard Aquazepps. |

Micheal preparing
to do a set-up dive prior to Jerome's push. |
| Jerome kitting
up prior to his big push. It starts with a 400m scooter just to get to
the cave, 500m to the barrage, crossing (somehow) the barrage and then
2000m just to get to the top of the shaft before actually starting the
deep dive. |
 |
 |
Thomas and
I help Jerome to put everything on. |
| Almost ready
to go |
 |
 |
And him setting
off towards the cave. He should not be due back for around eight hours. |
| Bad news, Mister
Murphy strikes again. He is a frequent visitor on these trips. A series
of minor incidents meant that there was no chance the push was going to
happen. |
 |
 |
Jerome and
Mr Murphy happen to be good friends. |
| The great Enzo |
 |
 |
Michael's Aquazepp.
The blade snapped as soon as he switched it on to begin his set-up dive
for Jerome. |

local fisherman and saviour of a completely burnt-out bunch of divers. |
 |
 |
As the deco
chamber wasn't needed for the dive, we decided to take it in turns seeing
who we could blow up. To save having to go inside, Michael pretends that
he knows what he is doing at the controls. |
| Personally,
I think he is making it up |
