Old Master Q Cartoon

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Recently the Hong Kong Standard have started running cartoons from the popular Chinese cartoon – Old Master Q. Well here’s the one from today’s Standard since it has a certain relevance to divers, even if he’s not flying an ‘A’ Flag.

Canoe made from giant pumpkin

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Recently our dive club has had a question mark about one of the junks we use. Apparently the boatman is not being “very helpful”. Personally I’m very surprised as I’ve always found him extremely helpful, he keeps a good eye out for divers knows where they are, and he always helps loading and unloading tanks. Over the last few years he has also made a lot of effort turning his junk into a suitable diving platform. I think people might be forgetting that when we started using him he knew nothing about divers or diving and I would hate to see us having to go through that same learning curve with someone else.

Anyway thanks to the BBC we may have a solution. In Wisonsin someone who obviously has too much time on his hands has carved a giant pumpkin into a canoe! He’s now planning to paddle it 150 miles in 8 days to raise money for children with special needs. Good luck to him. I’ve never been a big pumpkin fan, so the prospect of spending 8 days in one really doesn’t appeal to me!
