12th / 13th / 14th Sep 2008   Pembroke (South Wales)
New diving area for us going with Celtic Diving (
www.celticdiving.co.uk)

The diving is potentially 'challenging' in September and we would therefore want to take experienced Sports Divers only (you have the opportunity to get there by September - by experienced I mean - planning to be dive fit in September, dived from hard boats, been to 30m in the sea).

First dives may well be in the 30m range with 2nd dives shallower. Diving will be mixed. Wrecks and scenic.

There is always the risk of a blow out. If it is bad, diving will be cancelled and we will be offered a new date.

The initial plan;

3 days diving - Friday 12th/Saturday 13th/ Sunday 14th September.

Accommodation Thursday night-Saturday night. Those who want to stay Sunday night can (extra £20)

I am looking for responses from people able and willing to do the 3 days in the first instance. (Team of 12 divers). If you are interested in a just weekend option then let me know because that will be the fall back if I can't get the numbers for 3 days.

Cost £60/day including accommodation (bunkhouse) and light breakfast (cereal & toast). So £180 for 3 days).

Deposit of £15 per person required.
