Yes,
by popular demand we shall be heading back up north to St. Abbs
for the FIFTH Annual Dive-weekend. Put it in your diary and tell
your boss that you need time off, for this is an ideal start to
the diving season.
For
all those newer members, I’ve decided to give you a brief rundown
of the weekend-maybe it will sway the waverers and swell numbers
(24 on this year’s trip!)
Normally, we set off Friday morning and congregate on the
harbour for a dive in the afternoon. Those unable to travel until
the afternoon/evening just miss out on this dive. Car sharing
is organized where possible.
Accommodation is in comfortable B&B (cost ~£20-£25pp
per night) in single, twin or family rooms, situated around the
village. A camp-site is also available nearby (please let me know
if you prefer this option).
The main bulk of the diving is done Saturday & Sunday,
from a hardboat (2 dives/day cost ~£7-£10 per dive). The dive
sites are organized to cater for the least experienced member
of the party, whilst still giving good diving for the rest of
the party. The area is ideal for inexperienced divers and there
are opportunities for building your knowledge-one of the benefits
of a Club trip.
Saturday evening sees the expedition dinner, held at the
local hotel restaurant. Other meals are as you wish – café/chippies/pubs/takeaways
all exist.
Total cost of the weekend is ~£100, excluding travelling
costs and drinks.
I
have eighteen names down already, which gives you an idea of it’s
popularity. Non-diving Partners are welcome, but be aware-there’s
not a lot for them to do whilst you are diving and the post-dive
talk is usually about diving.
I shall be asking for a small deposit (£10-non refundable
if you pull out) to confirm your place. Don’t miss out! – BOOK
EARLY!
What else can I tell you?
Oh yes-the dates!
Friday 10th May – Sunday 12th
