Events at a glance
Saturday 18th June - Chepstow
Darren Hawkins is arranging a trip to Chepstow on the 18th June. Fairly informal but a great way to get some dives in in a nice controlled environment.
The guys are meeting from about 9am onwards and would love it if you would care to join them. Diving from 8m to 80m (yes really!)
£15 for the day and the viz is usually pretty good. There is plenty to see and the underwater layout means that you will see most of it.
Sunday 26th June - Selsey Lifeboat Station
Darren is also arranging a trip to Selsey to Dive the Lifeboat Station
This is a really easy shore dive with plenty of critters to see and if you are lucky you will see the family of cuttle fish!
Its free to park, free to get in and only a short walk from the place where you will park. You can dive as many times as you like and its easy to dive for an hour or more regardless of how good or bad your air consumption is!
Thursday 7th July - Club Quiz Night
Now that Summer is well and truly here its time to finally get in the water and club night is a great place to find some inspiration and a buddy
And what better way to vet your buddy than to check out just how clever they are!
All money raised from the event will go to the RNLI and the winning team gets to hold the Golden Snorkel for the next year.
Any Weekend!
We want to get in a lot more local cheap diving so keep an eye out to see who is up to what.
We will be organising some days out to dive Swanage Pier, Selsey Lifeboat station, Chesil Cove, Chepstow, Vobster and Stoney Cove. We may even venture over to Kent and try out Buckland.
If you fancy organising a trip (which simply entails you telling some people that you are going) then please jump in!
Facebook
There are plenty of people diving regularly with open invites coming from all angles!
Check out the facebook page to see what's going on and when...
Wednesday Evenings - Wraysbury
Don't forget the house reef! There are Wednesday evening dives going on most weeks as well as weekend splashes for anyone who fancies it.
Rescue Diver
The PADI Rescue Diver course will expand your knowledge and experience level. Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves and consider the safety and well being of other divers.
About the Course
Although this course is serious, it is a fun and enjoyable way to build your confidence.
Many divers say this is the best course they've ever taken.
Challenging and rewarding best describes the PADI Rescue Diver course.
Through a combination of knowledge development, pool practice and a number of realistic open water rescue scenarios,
you will quickly develop the skills necessary to carry out an effective in-water rescue using a variety of techniques and resources.
Most importantly, you'll learn how to prevent relatively minor situations from becoming more serious.
Cost
Rescue Diver Course: £275
Before you start: To participate in the confined water training sessions and knowledge development, you'll need to be certified to
PADI Open Water Diver (or equivalent qualification from another training agency.) You'll also need successful completion of a sanctioned CPR program within the past 24 months. The
Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (First Aid)
courses meet these requirements.
Prior to the open water scenarios:
You'll need to be certified to
PADI Advanced Open Water Diver
(or equivalent qualification from another training agency).
You'll also need to have logged a total of 20 dives.
These fees include all required study materials and certification fees.

Oh, and your bacon sandwich & cup of tea!
