Havering Scuba Divers

Please note that the final Havering Scuba Divers pool session will be on Sunday 26 July 2015. So if you need to get your gear wet you should get in there soon!!

It is with huge regret that we must announce the death of our Chairman, long standing member and great friend Mark Smoothy. Mark's funeral will be held at the church in Havering atte Bower on 2 February 2015. Our thoughts are with his family.

Toby and Pete just spent a lovely day at Wraysbury where Toby completed his first Ocean Diver open water dives. The sun was shining and the air temperature hit about 7 degrees. The water temperature hit a huge 10! We managed 3 dives covering all the basics plus more and it all went very well. We look forward to moving on to the next dives in December when we will aim for single digit water temperature!!! Lovely.....

Pete & Becky at Decathlon on Saturday!!

Becky, Gary and Pete spent a few hours at Decathlon in Lakeside today saying hello to shoppers and handing out BSAC freebies. If you stped to chat, why not come down to the pool one Sunday and arrange a Try Dive. You may enjoy it enough to join the club!!

Thanks to Tim for his dive report from Brighton. To read it log onto www.hsd1223.org.uk and select Club Dive Reports on the left.

Havering Scuba Divers The club has a number of BSAC nationally qualified instructors and teaches according to the BSAC diver training programme.

Yes the viz was average but there was still life out of Brighton. I even saw a good sized lobster hiding in the silt.

Just back from a dive out of Brighton on Brighton Diver 2. The boat is so big I got lost at one stage!!! The storms did not help the viz with about 2m the maximum. Still, it was nice and warm both above and below which always helps. A decent wreck (well Tim and Pete thought so) and an average to poor drift. Still, after the season so far it was a successful day.

Pick up a copy of this week's Romford Recorder. Our Scouts' try dive from last Sunday is covered on page 67. Good stuff!

2nd Romford Scouts joined us on 29th June for a try dive session. 11 scouts got wet and all had an excellent time! Thanks to all club members who volunteered to assist on the night in making it such a success.
