Monday 25 January….Monday morning and another PADI Equipment Specialist course

Monday 25 January….Monday morning and another PADI Equipment Specialist course, well done to James and Tim on getting to grips with the spanners today. Trying to clear a little of a backlog of Regulator servicing before we are away to the sunshine on Friday, in between diving of course. Will promulgate the 2016 Trips schedule later tonight or tomorrow on FB, Email and website, and there’s quite a choice, the UK trips will appear separately due to weather considerations etc.
