Comments on: Oblique reference to GLUG in Diver magazine http://www.glug.co.uk/archives/3269 The UK's first Gay & Lesbian Scuba Club Mon, 06 Sep 2010 22:03:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Jason http://www.glug.co.uk/archives/3269/comment-page-1#comment-5321 Jason Fri, 28 Aug 2009 08:42:58 +0000 http://www.glug.co.uk/?p=3269#comment-5321 I think it's really sweet that he mentioned us again. And I liked the original article too - okay, it was a bit 'Carry On Diving', but anyone who was on the trip knows that it wasn't without moments of high camp. Also, did you notice that the photo on the cover of the same September 2009 issue is from that GLUG trip too? There is only on GLUG member in shot (Swiss Jimmy), but Birga and Tobias are unmistakable. It was part of the same series of photos that both illustrated his article in the October 2006 issue and also graced it's cover. Which means that GLUG has been a Diver cover star twice in three years. Eat you heart out, Gisele Bündchen. Jason I think it’s really sweet that he mentioned us again.

Doesn't everyone know that us gay divers fold over our dry/wet suit after each dive, iron it once a week and even have a go at sewing back the odd tear together! I wash mine with the new "In the Pink" Lenor lol I did see the article and was quite pleased of the mention, despite it no naming GLUG or being stereotypical!

That was in Diver magazine in October 2006. He doesn't mention GLUG in the current article that I was referring to; he just says 'a gay dive charter'. See the box on the left side of page 35 in the September 2009 edition of Diver magazine (as I said above). This article is not online yet.

Perhaps someone edited it out ahead of it going to press... Cheers Mark Hi Alan,

I’m fairly sure that the article does indeed mention ‘GLUG’ and explains what it stands for… at the end, on the online version at least! Perhaps someone edited it out ahead of it going to press…

Cheers
