Tuesday 24 January – Wow! Thanks for the responses re pleasure dive on Thursday, I now realise why the economy is suffering, and GDP down.. too many people able to take time off during the week to go diving !! Will text you back on Weds am to confirm Dosthill or Stoney. Not many takers for the Night Dive next Wednesday, same old dogs going, see if you can make it…post, text or call !!

Tuesday 24 January – Brrrrrr ! damp n grim today but inside Reg n Tank testing. No teaching today for me. Fancy a pleasure Dive Thursday ? Dosthill or Stoney Cove let us know. Don’t forget night dive next Weds for those intrepid explorers, chance to warm up in the bar afterwards.

Saturday 21 January – After some prompting, have finished typing our Dive Club events Calendar for 1st quarter 2012. Regulars will know that we visit Spain n S.France at least once per month, however Ryanair have restructured their flight n prices for Girona n Perpignan, Beziers etc. Prices have been affected as a result, and timings are not as accessible for us for weekend trips. This may change again soon we hope !

Friday 20 January – Dismal and grim start to the day at Stoney cove, surface run off misted viz at the edges (see eerie sub photo). Well done to Des on his PADI Refresher dives, like riding a bike. New Tec diving courses to be introduced in next week or so, so watch this space n website !

Thursday 19 January – Excellent dives at Stoney cove today, Congratulations to Hannah who qualified today as a PADI Open Water diver, she fielded the demands of UK winter diving with ease, well done !
