I hate children! Well actually I don't hate them, but when I'm doing shark talks to groups aged seven to eleven, they terrify me. You never know what's coming next. Question time at the end of the talk, and an innocent little hand goes up...

Best Dive Worst Dive

Richard Walker
To me, the worst dive is the one that doesn't happen. I usually find a way to have fun on all of my dives, but you can't do that if you don't get into the water...

12th March 2010 - Separated at Birth
Dude, where's my teeth?

You have my mum to thank for this, although I'm not sure whether her remark of "Is that Jaws from James Bond?" was a wry observation or an honest question, since she doesn't know what a Quentin Tarantino is.

I meant to post this a few days ago but I bought the wrong kind of bread and became distracted by the ensuing discussion of "what kind of a son would buy bread with bits in rather than normal white sliced bread like what we have in England?".

As a result, as well as not being particularly funny, the picture opposite is also no longer topical what with the Oscars, like Avatar, having faded into a distant memory.

As an aside, I took some footage of ickle baby seadragons at the weekend. I even set the white balance properly. I thought you might be bored of them by now but if anyone has some sort of debilitating urge to see them, please comment here and I'll post ten-seconds' worth. I won't hold my breath, though.

A message from Ed

You can hear the contestants' hearts beating.

The slow drum roll, sweaty palms and knees unsteady.

Pulses racing... are they ready..?

For the result of the new name for the magazine in your own hands right now. It was a tight fight, closer than a Ricky Hatton return to the ring. But the winner is...'Tanked Up' by a nose from SportDiverDiveyDive.

You knew that already though, as you read the front page before this editorial. 2010 is going to be a bright new future for us all. I predict. And here are some more for this new decade: Holland for the World Cup; hung parliament with Clegg holding the balance in May; the new freedive record to 1 kilometre by a mad Ukranian; the total extinction of flies and lizards. And Tanked Up getting better and better.

So I hope your resolutions are to send in more of your trip reports; some off-beat letters and don't forget the photos. You know us, we'll publish anything, so don't be afraid to upload your finest jpegs of fish and stuff.

This issue sees Tyson seek therapy, Rob weaving his magic and trip reports taking us from Lundy to Brazil.

Now what other mag on this whole darn planet offers all that for free?

'None, Sir' I hear you say.

Enjoy reading. And enjoy 2010. I will.

Ed

And so: Upload your Club Night photos and the good photographs you've taken in the deep. Even take a step on your journalistic career and write up your last dive trip. Whatever sort of diver you are, from a violent sociopath like Tyson the triggerfish to a sexually-retarded instructor like Brad, enjoy this website and get hold of a copy of Tanked Up Magazine.
