Go diving!

March 9, 2010 · Leave a Comment

The new dive season is fast approaching. The club has put together another full schedule of Rib diving this season. Newhaven is just over an hours drive away with some great wrecks within easy reach. A days diving, with 2 dives, costs between £15 – £20, so it’s really cheap too. The schedule is up on the board at the club so I’d encourage you all to take a look and book some diving. Everyone is welcome. Read More →

June 7, 2009 · Comments Off

I have slowly been prising old copies of the Club’s newsletter (‘Triton’ then ‘OK’) out of Uncle Al’s hands and now have a year’s worth of news, reviews and comment from years gone by which I plan to revisit each month to see what the hot topics of the day were. This month sees us re-visiting June 1976. [Read the full story] Read More →

2010 Dive Trips

Surviving the Sea Survival Course
