Weekly News Letter - 20th September 2009
Lochaline trip
"We had another great club weekend in Lochaline (near Oban). There were plenty of wrecks and some scenic dives which made for a great weekend in beautiful surroundings. We'll definitely be back there next year for another trip so start saving your pennies. The weather was perfect and there were surface sightings of seals and porpoises as well as lots to see underwater. Off the boat there was excellent food (especially by our own team of master chefs) and some unusual highland seduction techniques in the local pub."
New Qualifications
Congratulations to Richard and Tom who completed their Dive Leader training on the trip so are both qualified Dive Leaders now. This is great encouragement to the rest of us as the club is stronger with each new qualification.
Last dives of the season, next years' dives
Dover booked for Sunday 11th October
Anne needs definite commitments for Swanage for the weekend 3/4 October. This is designed for Ocean Divers but I need Sports Divers to buddy them up. This will be a cheap week end - diving around the pier is free and if people are happy then there is a shallow wreck the fleur de lis which is teeming with fish. We can organise more challenging dives for Sports as long as they give the Ocean divers some of their time. Costs would be for accommodation, food and getting there and back. I will look for caravan or house rental to save accom costs.
Also Lochaline Dive centre in West Scotland has been booked for Sept 10/11/12 in 2010 costs are : 3 x £35 per 2 dives a day on a spacious hard boat, plus 3 x £25 for b and b. This year 3 people sharing the driving cost us £50 each in petrol. £100 deposit to secure a place, cheques made out to HSAC
Try Dive Night
We have a big try dive night on the 5th October, so if you have a friend who's curious - invite them along.
