Happy Birthday to Gill for this coming Monday, 4th August. (No you cant have a day off).
We will be closed tomorrow, Friday 1st August until 12 noon as we are doing Try Dives at Bridport Leisure Centre.
M2 Submarine wreck dive plus one other dive on Thursday 21st August. Only 4 spaces left.
The Fridays evening dives are becoming very popular, so we have decided to book Huntress II on a weekly basis for the next couple of months. If you wish to join us please get your names on the list as soon as possible to save disappointment.
This Saturday, 2nd August, weather permitting, Jon will be diving off Chesil Cove. Hopefully completing an Open Water Course. All welcome to come along.
Last Sundays dive off Seatown was a bit disappointing, as the visibility was not very good in the morning, but once high tide had turned it improved dramatically. Also a large number of membrane neck and wrist seals split. If you have a membrane suit please check the seals after every dive and anytime the suit has been stored or not used for a period of time. Also follow the manufactures guidelines on storing and looking after them. If you are not sure, please just ask us. A few of us were lucky enough to go out on Paul's boat, diving the wreck of the Baygitano. As usual full of life including a large Lobster and lots of Congers. Second dive we just winged it and dived a new area with a depth of 11 meters. Huge rock formations resembling spinning tops and flying saucers all over the seabed. Large shoals of Ballan Wrasse and Pollock plus a large Dover Sole spotted. One of the most enjoyable dives i have had. Sometimes these speculative dives turn up trumps.
Diving Insurance. It has been bought to our notice that many of you probably only carry diving insurance whilst you are away abroad. Although here in the UK it is not mandatory to have any kind of diving insurance we highly recommend you take out third party liability insurance at least, the sign of the times i am afraid. If you belong to the BSAC or SAA your club membership should cover you, but do check. If you would like to talk to us about this or who provides diving insurance please feal free to as us. www.aquabluedivers.co.uk
Next pool session for Try Dives/Refresherc/Seal Team etc will be this Sunday the 3rd August from 2.30pm to 4pm. Please call the Dive Centre for more information. Phone No 01308-422105.
A range of second hand wet suits now available in store.
West Bay Diving Thursday Evening Club dive aboard Huntress 2 running as usual. Departure time 7pm. Friday Evening Club dive tomorrow, 1st August, diving the wreck of the Baygiatano. Leave time 7pm. Weather permitting.
Once again can we remind everyone that ALL booked boat dives have to be paid for, unless we can fill the place if you cancel.
Have a safe and enjoyable dive where ever you may go.
Please pop into the dive centre for a cuppa and a natter any time.
Regards, Jon and Gill and everyone at Aqua Blue Divers
