to seven battleships of the German Fleet scuttled on the orders of Admiral Von
Reuter at the end of WW1 - June 21, 1919. This is probably the finest wreck

the 2nd day getting out on the ribs after a go on the controls we
started with the import things like man over board drills, mooring the boat and
3 point turns as well as high speed u turns and figure of 8 turns. Apart form a

pedro writes " Come and join us on a cruise through the Leicestershire canal and river net work aboard the barge boat 'Blackbird'.
Ropes off will be 9am from Barrow upon Soar arriving back at 5pm.
The price will be £15 pp for the charter of the barge, insurance, fuel for the day and a jolly old skipper!!!!. We shall be stopping for refreshments and lunch during the day so you will need to budget for this as well.
The date will be June 27th and I have 12 spaces at the moment. If we get enough interest I may be able to make more spaces available. Friends and family are more than welcome but club members will take priority however I will try and accommodate everyone.
Please contact me or grab me at the pool to book a place.

| St Abbs |
pedro writes "Due to a mix up with the skipper the weekend that was planned for St Abbs cannot go ahead.
I have however re-booked for the 14th 15th August so please check your diarys and let me know asap. If you have already paid a deposit for the previous date but can't make August you will be refunded.
Accommodation will be in the bunk house with the option of upgrading to BB if you wish. The bunk house will be approx. £35 pp for two nights. (dependent on numbers).
Diving and air prices remain the same.
Regards
Pete Nicholls "

| St Abbs |
pedro writes "
On the 19th/20th June I will be running a club trip to St Abbs
Two days diving from the hard boat Topline including air fills will come to a total of £60 per person.
Accommodation will be organised when I have a firm idea of numbers but will more than likely be a mixture of BB and camping. Camping is approx. £15pn per tent. BB is approx. £30 pppn.
Travel needs to be considered but at approx. £80 per vehicle round trip the normal arrangments of car sharing keep this cost nice and low too.
All members are welcome and will be accommodated for regardless of qualification, so please come and join us for some fantastic scenic diving. If you've never dived in the UK before than you couldn't wish for a better place to start.
I have 12 places which will be given on a first come first serve basis . Once a £40 deposit is received your place will be secured.
Safe diving.
Pete Nicholls "

| RYA Boat Handling Course 2010 |
pedro writes "A boat handling course will be taking place in feb/March 2010, the exact date yet to be arrange. The course will teach you the basic boat handling techniques you need to skipper a diving RIB. The course is reconised by BSAC which will come in handy for your diving qualifications.
The venue will be Swansea and it is to be held over two days, the two days being a Saturday and Sunday.
I would encourage all club members regardless of diving qualification to consider this course, it is a great weekend and a great set of skills to obtain and enjoy.
The price of the course is £90 per person. In addition to this accomadation, travel and food need to be considerd. Once I have numbers I can start to look at accomadation, I do have some contacts in Swansea so it should be cheap.
To book a place or ask a question please call me
Pete Nicholls

| English Channel |
 pedro writes "Having completed the ERD course over the winter it was time to put my new skills into practice, and venture some 20+ miles out from Littlehampton to dive three fantastic wrecks over three days.
Someone aboard had brought the weather with them, which made the two hour journey out to the Moldavia an almost tropical experience. It also gave me plenty of time to get to know my buddy with whom I would dive with for the next few days. His calm manour and readyness to pass on his knowledge put me a ease which was what I needed before commencing my first 50m dive at sea. New boat, new people, new dive site and pushing my skills further put me back in touch with the feelings we've all felt in our early days of diving. A very humbling experience.

| Swanage |
|
pedro writes " August wasn't the best of the summer months so with fingers crossed we made the journey to Swanage to meet our Welsh friends and indulge in some of the wrecks the area has to offer.
Sunrise on Thrsday morning gave way to a flat sea and bright skies so before we knew it we were decending the shot line to the midships of the Kyarra. With 4/5m vis it was a perfect introduction to wreck diving for the guys who had come along to gain more experience at depth and futher the skills learnt over the long winter months. A 32% mix gave us a nice long bottom time with plenty to explore on our way from the boilers to the stern. On releasing the DSMB it was clear to see and feel the reason this wreck is only dived on a slack.
