Date: 09 & 10 June 2007

Venue: Plymouth

Boats: Venture & Amoco.

Itinery: 30m. Wrecks & Scenic. Boat Vote.

Spaces: 7 spaces.


Due to needing more than one boat this year we have several spaces. We will be doing a mix of dives. I hope that we can get to the Eddystone or Hand Deeps as this is smack on neaps. We usually go out for a modest drink and bite on the Saturday evening.

Please PM me if you are interested.Neill


The way I am now organising trips way in advance like this is to ask for £30 deposit from people and then the balance 1 month in advance. Once I receive the deposit you're booked onto the trip - if you can't make it then it's your responsibility to find a replacement (although of course I'll help) and if a replacement isn't found then you're liable for the cost of your space. Hope that's fair.
