Barzero is great, but as a diving club we have one minor disadvantage: we're about as far from the sea as it's possible to get in the UK. To that end we've set out in search of inland diving opportunities a little nearer home.

There's Stoney cove and Guildenburgh (two muddy puddles) - but still a lengthy drive. Nearer home there's Arlesey pit - a 12metre deep quantity of liquid mud that's used for sailing and dumping miscellaneous body parts. This is within our catchment area, although you'll have to be at the water's edge by 7am! OK, so you'll be back in time for a breakfast fry-up, but we'd rather find somewhere that allows you to have a lie-in first.

Arthur suggested (somewhat in jest) that we should try diving the mill pool in Langford. This has turned out to be a good little site - and it was Joe who suggested that Jordan's Mill, near Biggleswade might also be worth a go. So it was, on 8th May 2011 that certain intrepid (and decrepit) explorers jumped into the murkey waters. John and Joe got wet, while Arthur, Jose, Deb and Kriszta watched. We had an interesting tour of the mill from our host - a unique insight into a bygone age of british industrial supremacy.
