Aqua Blue Update. 24th August

Well, as i am sure you can well appreciate the last week or so has been pretty traumatic to say the least! Both Gill and I would like to thank all of you who have e-mailed (over 200 emails received) offering support, good wishes, and even jobs. I hope we managed to reply to you all individually. Also all the phone calls and text messages. THANK YOU. It's so good to know we made so many fantastic friends, from all walks of life over the years and look forward to continuing in the future.

As previously mentioned we intend to carry on organising the Club Dives and Trips as well as offering Diver Training, Kit Servicing, etc. Just no coffee shop! Courses that are still on going will be completed as soon as we get a break in the weather, so keep watching this space.

So moving swiftly on...

We have two spaces available for the Lundy Island trip on Thursday 4th September. Including diving/snorkelling with the Seals. Please call for details on 07771906101

Last Thursday 21st August we managed (although a bit bumpy) to go out on Huntress II for the latest of our all day dives. Diving on the wreck of the M2 Submarine and a good drift dive on Swyers Ledges. Plus the evening dive out on the far side of Saw Tooth Ledges. Commiseration's to Hughey Louis, sorry Louis but that nickname might now stick.

I have provisionally booked Huntress II for this Friday evening 29th August. More than likely doing a Drift dive, depth over 18 meters. Depart 7pm, minimum number required 8 divers. Call on 07771906101 to book your space.

West Bay Diving Thursday Evening Club dive aboard Huntress II running as usual. Departure 7pm. A few spaces still available. Call on 0777190610

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.

Congratulations to Julian in passing his I.E. last weekend. VERY Well Done. Also Congratulations to Mat in passing onto the next level of Master Chef. Can't wait to watch it.

We were asked to incorporate a Forum page so you can discuss different issues, get advice from other divers and also look for other divers looking for a buddy, add photos, etc. Check it out and lets get it busy.

Have a safe and enjoyable dive where ever you may go?

Kind Regards, Jon and Gill.

Divers urged to report marine life sightings (Paul_K)

Divers urged to report marine life sightings

UK marine conservationists have appealed to divers and other sea users to report encounters of marine wildlife.

UK marine conservationists have appealed to divers and other sea users to report encounters of
marine wildlife to help establish a report on how the environment has changed. The Wildlife Trusts has launched the national campaign to highlight the massive loss of marine mega-fauna in UK seas, including dolphins, whales and sharks. The launch in spring was timed to coincide with the peak of basking shark sightings around the southwest coast.

The charity's campaign leaflet, Seas of Plenty, sets out to show how much the UK marine environment has changed in a short period of time. It is hoped the campaign will put extra pressure on the government for the creation of a Marine Bill that includes marine reserves.

Callum Roberts, professor of marine conservation at York University, teamed up with The Wildlife Trusts to produce the Seas of Plenty campaign leaflet.

He said: 'Today, we tend not to think of the UK as a place that could ever boast a profusion of giant fish and marine mammals, but even as little as a century ago it was very different. The seas around our islands were home to remarkable marine megafauna. Their extinction is happening in front of our eyes and only today's generations can prevent it.' Email your sightings to marine@wildlifetrusts.org. http://www.wildlifetrusts.org
