NEWS

Congratulations first to Tim and Claire who got engaged at the New Year, well done you two.

Training;

Sam, Nuala and Alex finished their Ocean Diver training, and we have 5 new members training at the moment. As we haven’t a dedicated Training Officer at the moment, please could everyone keep in touch and offer help with training, loan of equipment etc. Perhaps someone would like to take up the position???? :~/

Diving;

It was decided to put the boat in to wet mooring at Littlehampton again this year.  But before that there is work that needs to be done on it.  The weekend of 23^rd/24^th February is a possible date for boat maintenance.  There will be plenty to do for EVERYONE regardless of your experience, so please put this weekend in your diaries.

Holidays;

Since the last newsletter we had a great week on a super live aboard on The Red Sea.  The Boat was 4*, diving excellent and company great fun.  The usual shenanigans occurred, losing the crews phone overboard and then retrieving it. (Well done KD!) Dancing in seedy belly dancing gear, and that wasn’t just me. If anyone would like to write something more complete about the trip, I’ll happily put it in the next issue. Thanks for organizing a fab week Tim.

14 of us have just returned from our annual ski trip.  We ventured to Italy, a first for many of us, Sauze d’Oulz was a great place to stay.  The skiing was fun, the town picturesque, except possibly the hike up the hill to the Hotel Splendid where we stayed.

A great week was had by all, and no significant injuries either. There was a certain amount of moral happening at various times.  Games were played, shrines built and worshipped at, tee-shirt nominations gathered. As for 2007 tee-shirt award, that went to Keith for gross exaggeration of the state of the slope! Having led a few of us down a snowy off-piste section of the mountain – bushes had been cropped and trees hugged – a small voice came from below claiming ‘it gets a bit steep here’. When we got to said point we were faced with a 10 foot drop over rocks and roots!  We all got down ok, leaving KD scheming on clip art possibilities…….

Are you a qualified diver?
BSAC, PADI, NAUI, TDI, etc?
Do you book on charter boats and get paired up with any old bozo?   Have you qualified abroad but just not sure what the UK has to offer? Perhaps you want to become more qualified, but without the big cost of training?   Do you find your non-diving friends find your  talking about diving boring?  Come see our club - K2 Divers - a group of people with a love of diving in common with you.  At last someone to talk to about that huge lobster you saw the other week! Expand your diving opportunities, both in the UK and abroad with a group of people you know.
Come see us, try out some gear in our pool, perhaps arrange to come diving with us to see what we're like!
