Club Rebrand:
We are making good progress with the rebranding of the club. We should be launching the new website during February if all goes well - look out for it!

Update from DiveStyle

Look out for the DiveStyle feature in SportDiver, the official PADI magazine for divers. DiveStyle will also be running some features over the comming year to allow you to have your say and appear in the magazine:  Instructors and dive-masters will have the opportunity to say the ‘why I became an instructor’ anthere will be a 'Diver of the Month' where any diver that has recently completed a course can enter.

Plans to move the shop to the new location are progressing - stay tuned for the announcement of the moving date.

DiveStyle have an offer on drysuits at the moment for those interested in getting their first drysuit. Buy an Oceanic Drysuit and get a free drysuit speciality course.
 

And Finally:

If you are diving over the winter, why not let people know using the discussion forum on the website? The forum is a great way to log details of potential dives, find buddies etc. You can also use the forum for non-diving topics, such as ideas for club nights, social events, ask about kit and so on.  You'll need to log in and select the 'Members' tab.
