  Dive Club News Aqua Blue Update. 16th June 2009

Cornwall Weekend 15/16th August 2009.

Due to five people dropping out from this trip with deposits unpaid, we now have spaces that urgently need filling. If we can not fill these spaces soon (by the end of this week), we will have to advise Porthkerris as they have groups who desperately want that weekend. The cost is £60.00 per day on the big hard boat plus food & as much shore diving as you wish. This is a great weekend socially and the diving is very easy and very scenic. Some of us plan to stay over an extra day and dive from the Rib. If you would like to go please contact us ASAP by e-mail us or call Jon on his mobile on 07771906101.


Lots of you have been asking when our Master Chef Winner, Mat Follas, is opening his new restaurant in Beaminster.  We can now tell you that the Wild Garlic will be opening its doors to the public from the 23rd June for lunches and from the 25th June for evening meals. They will also be open for teas and coffee during the day.  Contact number for reservations is 01308 861446 or e-mail on mail@thewildgarlic.co.uk

We wish Mat & Mandy all the very best in their new venture.


Thursday Evening Club Dives.

Due to the popularity of these evening dives Club members get first priority.  If spaces are still available on Monday evenings then non club members who have put there names on the reserve list will be added, on a first come first served basis.

We have been approached by a local dive RIB operator who will run dive trips out of West Bay on a Friday evening and also at weekends.  They will run with a minimum of 4 divers, which is great news.  We are just waiting to hear back on prices.  If you would be interested in this service please let us know ASAP please.


If you have any requests on other locations to dive, please let us know and we will see what can be arranged.

If any of you require purchasing any dive equipment please contact us, as we can still supply most equipment, and probably at a better rate!

All Try Dives, Seal Team Courses, Refreshers, etc. are being done at Beaminster pool. Please contact us for further details. e-mail us or call on 07771906101.

It was great to see Howard two weekends ago. He has moved to Cornwall but came back up to do two very good dives out of Lyme Regis with us.  Thanks Paul for taking us out. I struggled with the 15 dozen scallops mind you!

For the fourth year running we are keeping the cost the same.  We can also adjust the payment terms and spread them over the duration of the course, after paying a deposit on the required materials.
