A couple of weeks ago I destroyed an ants’ nest from the wall of the gear-wash using a water hose. Today, as we were packing up our gear, I found another ants’ nest – in my dive boot! It wasn’t massively huge, but there were ants – loads of them – with eggs and everything.

Creeeepy.

I dumped both of my boots just in case in the chlorine water of the pool run-off trough and Heikki finished them off with yet another installation of water hose. To make absolutely sure, I soaked the boots in the water troughs and washed all other gear too, just in case. Now they should be gone.

Did I mention I had a dream about a house full of ants last night? Ants covering the walls and the floor? With eggs?

Yeah, creepy.
