A message from Ed

Things I hate about the United States of America: Their mustard. Their speed limit. Getting arrested at Miami airport. Yes, you read that right dear diver. Your humble Ed was pulled over at the Immigration queue, whilst only moments away from baggage and freedom, with those dreaded words, "Please step this way sir, there seems to be an irregularity..."

No explanation of what, no idea of how long it would take, but just a plastic chair in a holding pen surrounded by assorted drug smugglers and gun runners. Mobile confiscated and nothing to eat or drink. Five hours later I was set free with no clue as to what the irregularity was.

But a little bird told me it could have well been the assorted Arabic stamps in the passport, from years of diving in the Middle East. So watch out, you have been warned. Avoid the Great Satan at all costs.

On a cheerier note, March brings the London Dive Show. And I personally insist you come say hello. (Unless you are called Karl and work for US Homeland Security). We are on the LDC stand, 822.

This issue brings riches beyond your diviest dreams. From Dominica's best dives, through Tyson getting rowdy to our very own delectable dive dentist – Celehte. She will be with us now to answer any of your dental issues. You know the email address.

And do you want to win a free holiday to the Florida Keys?

No – nor do I.

On with the show. 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 London Diver Magazine.
