Anyway we were diving at Roseneath in the Clyde, across from the submarine base at Faslane and we could hear a very loud engine noise which seemed very close, so came to the surface and exited the water. One minute later from the shore we witnessed the biggest nuclear submarine break the surface. Suddenly a guy was on deck with a loud hailer and was trying to tell us something, :unsure: we hurriedly jumped into my friends sports car and fled, never looking back. :huh: A bit of an adventure in a Bond sort of way :laugh: No car chase though. :laugh: and no rap sheet thankfully.
:laugh: A couple of weeks later I was an invited guest at the very same base, through my diving club. I thought better of mentioning my previous encounter with a nuclear sub though.

Hey Tom,
When were you at Faslane? I spent a lot of time up there between 91-96 when the base was gearing up for UK Tridents ... maybe I was on the boat that almost did you in ... ?
I can remember Green Peace run-ins, but not subba clubs ... maybe it was a smaller fast attack boat - nonetheless I appreciate your story. However, the "official word" is that you encountered the Lock Ness Monster! 
Hey, the best Indian food I ever had was at the Akash in Helensburgh, just down the road. I ate there whenever I could. The owner loved it when I broke a sweat from his vindaloo! I can't tell you how many Americans have eaten there and are here in the states looking for a place that comes close! I have found a place in Silverdale, WA that's a distant second. I've been in Southern California for 18 years now and drive my Indian friends nuts insisting they find me an Akash here at home! 
Or maybe there is video-footage by Neil (he records just about anything!), at least he recorded some when wearing a wetsuit. I of course felt very sexy in that one! :laugh: B)
