Everyone returned to the harbour with a really big smile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But for an ECSAC diver the dives are not enough, we all went to the pub to warmup for a curry dinner. After the dinner the group returned to the pub for some more drinks and to share more stories.&nbsp; On Sunday the day started very windy and cold, but despite the conditions we managed to do one dive and see lots of seals.<\/p>\n<p>All in all It was a great dive weekend, I think we should repeat it next year :)\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecsac.org.uk\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/farneimage2.jpeg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3363 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecsac.org.uk\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/farneimage2-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" height=\"225\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecsac.org.uk\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/farneimage2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.ecsac.org.uk\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/farneimage2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ecsac.org.uk\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/farneimage2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Feedback from the trip and photos from Vesta, Steve and Alison.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fantastic dives.
