Loading ...Jo has unfortunately ended her philanthropic ways when it comes to the Portland shakedown trip and has handed the baton to me!
So, will be putting a notice (first come first serve) on the club board tonight for this trip based on the following speculative details…
- When: Arrive Friday 9th Jan, Depart Sunday 11th Jan.
- Where: Portland (it has a harbour so hopefully won’t get blown out).
- Who: Experienced open water divers with drysuits and the appropriate training (please talk to me if you are not sure whether you qualify).
- How: Taking the club RIB (6 places + cox) and will book spillover places on a Fathom and Blues RIB (www.fathomandblues.co.uk) (12 places).
- Accommodation: The Bunker (www.skindeepbandb.co.uk/bunker.htm) - Margaret isn’t skiing so you get a good fryup every morning!
- Cost: Approximately £100 per person based on 2 days diving. I have added 10% contingency but any money left over will be refunded. I would like to take this money up-front (within the next few weeks) so as to minimise my financial exposure.
- Ents: There is a good pub (I will book a night there) and a disco with pool table nearby.
It is expected to be cold and murky, but last year in January we saw some fish! To sell it some more, F&B have a shower thing outside their slipway so you can wash out your kit before brining it home 
Oh, and if you have an issue loading or unloading cylinders from car boot spaces then please let me know so I can make special arrangements to ensure tail lights remain intact.
