Sunday 19th will be a training weekend - specifically aimed towards Sport Divers, though where possible we will squeeze in some shallower MD stuff as well.
As this weekend will be geared towards training - it is vital that you let me know if you planning to come out and want to get some training in. We will pick a site so that anyone not training can get a dive in (eg Conger or Finnart)
Please note that there are only 3 instructors and the trainee Sports Divers will get priority - however if you want some MD training I will try and get something slotted in for you for at least one skill.
Names advised so far
Sam
Ronnie
Paul
Mike
Mark G
Terri
Colin K
Fiona Gal
Martin G (poss)

My lovely husband would very much like a lift with you and your puppy. He's prepared to sit behind the dog grid where a person of his station should be whilst sharing a car with landed gentry like yourself.

It certainly was a good day - great to see a number of people, including me getting stuff signed off! And if we dive Carrick Castle again we need to call the Queen's Harbourmaster (Clyde) 01436 674321. ...And I thought Ronnie had sent in the MOD to test my expedition leader skills  |

Just like to point out martin that you were like a true leader when the police arrived. Namely that you disappeared off and left the catering queen to have her name put in the book instead. You will go far sir.
Many thanks to Fiona for her catering and to pepper for cleaning the site after.
It was good to see so many out diving on a winter day.
