Another Great DUP Course completed

Congratulations to John Dagnall who completed level one Digital Underwater Photography last night in the Reading deep pool last night. John showed great mastery of his new found skills which showed in his interpretation of Collin’s reef. Next step is a trip to Egypt in April to complete the course. Good luck John and we look forward to seeing the result on your return!”

Due to extra demand we are in the process of securing extra places on the following holidays – Marsa Alam in May, El Gouna in August. Let us know if you want to join in the fun. We still have spaces on the Maldives trip in November but please note that we have seen a lot of requests for information on the remaining places.

Last month’s announcement of  Tobago and Thailand as possibilities for 2013 have created a lot of interest – we are collecting names all the time – if you want to try something different then let us know.

We had 3 people join up to the new  holiday savings club – during the month – this simple idea allows you to decide how much to save each month and we will collect via standing order – plus when you join you get a 50% discount voucher of a Divecrew Trolley bag.

Club Diving Plans

   clip_image011           

Who says UK diving stops in the winter – not here at Divecrew. The first club day trip took place on the 29th January – with a trip up to NADC – well done to Julio, Adam, Alan, Andrew and Mark for braving the water. More dates have been set for late Feb and March – check out the website UK dives

 

clip_image012The planned trip to Plymouth continues to gather pace -  UK dives – 4 dives, overnight accommodation and an evening meal – all for£105.00. We are using a hard boat with a lift – so a great introduction to UK sea diving – we plan to dive the HMS Scylla and others. 5 places left. AOW and above please. Friday night option also available for £30.00. To date all people are travelling      down on the Friday so looks like will be a great weekend away.

clip_image014Other new ideas we are working on for 2012 including linking up with the dive centre that Geoff R is running in Spain. Look out soon for the weekend deals he is working on at the moment. 

The plan will be to offer diving and accommodation packages with Geoff guiding and you book your flights direct into Alicante

John is going onto finish his course in Wraysbury on the 4/5th Feb with Neil F. Joining John will be, Mogens and Williem. Hope the snow stays away!
