Weds 25 January….Brrr. A cold one today, photo of Peter n Kevin, taking to the waters today despite the chill, three good looking chaps eh. Not many sleeps and we will al be in warm waters and sunshine, last minute prepping is underway. Anyone else interested in the PADI Self Reliant diver Speciality qualification course, please let us know, its running week after next, over one day. Learn some useful skills, dive planning, air calcs, independent air systems etc. etc.

Saturday 21 January…Apologies for the lack of FB posts this week, but busying away moving shop and teaching. Only a few sleeps now until sunshine and warm clear waters, the Red Sea awaits. Lots of diving still going on, we have a couple of spaces on our next Nitrox course and Archaeology Diver Speciality course. Well done today to Dan on his PADI Open Water course today, and to the Instructor team refining their skills.

Friday 13 January….So, a good day despite Fri 13 and nothing but a sprinkling of the white stuff here. As a reminder to Amy and David, who phoned to see if pool training was still on this morning, we do still teach in the snow as you can see from our past Navigation course at the Cove. Lots of diving still going on, and winter dives mean great viz and fewer people about. Apologies for delay of January newsletter, we are awaiting price confirmation on 2 of our trips, it will be out in next couple of days.

Thursday 12 January….Apologies, we have been busy with late nights getting ready for our shop move, and very little time to post on FB. Thought this photo would stir the 20 adventurers who are on our liveaboard in only 2 weeks, just napping here between diveson our last liveaboard. We have one space on a PADI Rescue Diver course in February, if anyone is up for the challenge?

Thursday 5 January…..Enjoying some winter sun diving at the Cove, blue sky n clear water, and plenty of room to move around, certainly beats weekend diving, don’t miss out on this cracking part of the seaon. We have space on our next PADI Self-Reliant diver course, if anyone is up for the challenge, learn how to be fully independent, how to dive plan, risk assess, and be safe, come and join us. Space also for one on our PADI Underwater Archaeologist course, come and learn how to survey underwater, undertake some real work and learn a great deal about wreck sites, artefacts and their protection.

Weds 4 January….Showing our commitment for the first Night dive of 2017 at the Cove tonight, cold and becoming crisp, as the temperature is dropping. Nevertheless, daytime diving is very attractive, superb viz and great fun, so come on down and join us. We now have stock of the new Apeks MTX-R extreme cold water regulator, new to the market. It breathes a dream, if your face lights up like ours (see photo), then give us a buzz and become a proud owner, like me, (Peter requested no publicity for his). In to the Cove pub for food and a warm now !

Sunday 1 January…..Hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas and New Year celebrations. You may want to shake off the cobwebs now with a refreshing plunge in the water, we have lots of diving throughout January up to our liveaboard on 29 of the month. We look forward to your continued support in 2017, so we have constructed a schedule of tempting dive trips for UK and abroad. In addition, we have secured new premises, on a main road location, and look forward to welcoming you there, and hope to see many of you popping in for tea, coffee and biccies from end of this month.
