Thurs 12th don’t forget club night this Monday.
Dive at Stoney tomorrow just for fun before the colder weather strikes again, glad I am in the pool all this weekend lovely and toasty yeah for me.

Weds 11th welcome to our new team of Padi first aid at work candidates Gerry Ian and Paul (see photo), now fully qualified thanks to Mick for his help today, and welcome to Paul for stepping into UK diving.

Tuesday – Day of servicing Regs n cylinders, a sign of people taking to the water. This is one of the best diving winters in recent years, good water temperature, surface temperatures into double figures, its almost mediterranean. No excuses, come diving ! Note… Dive club members free air fills for w/c 22 Jan to 27 Jan.

Monday – Kept dry today with PADI equipment speciality course, well done to Steve and Morris, and welcome to Ken on his PADI Discover Scuba experience. Night dives will start again in February, we have a dive club presentation on this exciting aspect of diving on Mon 23 Jan in readiness, so if you’ve never tried it, come along.

Sunday 8 – Morning in Pool for PADI Rescue Diver skills, busy afternoon in servicing school and shop compressor filters etc. Just a reminder, first Dive Club meeting of 2012 at new pool, is on Monday 16 January, not tomorrow evening. Time to forget the xmas hols, time to get active again !

Saturday 7 – Early morning dives at Stoney cove, not many there, must still be recovering from xmas sedation. Stoney Cove is a real joy at the moment, come on down ! Nice to hear from some old friends/students today, Rob and Helen R. who moved to Poole, Dorset , intrepid adventurers, I remember their winter training dives at Swanage, brave souls indeed. Welcome back to Liam too, and to Tom who is joining us soon.

Friday 6 – Apologies missed the post last night as PADI Divemaster candidates insisted the communication and integration sections required a lengthy visit to the local hostelry. Diving at Stoney cove is excellent at the moment, the viz is superb and there’s lots to see. Weather has calmed and is very user friendly. For those who are reluctant; come and take your PADI Drysuit qualification as your missing out !

Thurs 5 Jan – Wow ! wind n waves at Stoney cove today, almost like being at sea, great dives crystal clear and not too busy. Spent this evening putting together our mid January sale clearout, with 20% or more off of selected Regs n BCDs and wetsuit clearance. Will be posting some flyers in next couple of days.

Weds 4th Jan, first day back and we have been putting the pool and classrooms to good use, well done to Steve on completing his pool work for his Padi Open Water ( next stop Stoney can’t wait). And well done and welcome to Suzanne on her Padi discover scuba experience (see photo below) we will look forward to starting your Padi Open Water in a couple of weeks.
