If you can help organise a dive weekend, why not contact the club (>18m) or orientation (<18m) dive organiser? They can give lots of guidance and will really appreciate the support!

Club Rebrand:

The new logo is complete – hope you like it! We took feedback from the membership survey of last year and came up with the logo on the left to reflect UK diving and a sense of fun.  and the web site is due to go live in April. Watch this space!! Many thanks go to Andy at Divestyle for the original artwork and bringing the ideas into life. We hope to go live with the rebranded web site in April – so keep watching this space!

Update from DiveStyle:

Meet TV’s Monty Halls (and his dog, Ruben) at the Dive Style BBQ on Saturday 9th April at the new dive centre! 

The new dive centre's address is Unit A, Bridge Farm, Reading Road, Arborfield, Berkshire, RG2 9HT. There will be a BBQ and plenty of great launch deals to be had. Put the date in your diary, come along, meet Monty and have some fun! Official cutting the ribbon around mid-day.

And Finally:

Fancy a dive holiday in Malta?

Tim Burge (club member) is arranging a dive trip to Malta the week of June 12th. A number of club members are already committed but we need more and would rather not go outside the club if possible. The aim is to have a technical dive group (60m/Trimix) and a recreational dive group who will meet up each evening to swap stories of derring do! The dives in the first part of the week will be split and the latter ones combined. If you are interested please contact publicity@thedivingclub.co.uk asap.
