    Enjoying the Craic at Wang Chau

    Enjoying the Craic at Wang Chau

    As a very famous person said, what is lost is lost and what is found is rubbish. And so it turned out to be true. Without our talisman Herr Nicola on the boat this week the numbers were well down from the bumper turn out seven days earlier, but a happy if slightly depleted Band of Brothers and Sisters set forth on a mission that was worth more than just the enjoyment of diving.

There is nothing worse than a frustrated diver, turned paparazzi, DM without portfolio and buzzing drone driver. Many people have asked, why Wang Chau.
