[Mr T.]

OK Troops,

We're all in the habit of reading some very good and truly entertaining dive reports from the various YD members who travel to the 'far-flung' and come back and then have us in the aisles laughing or making us dead jealous that we weren't on the trip........

So, what say you we cut to the chase and organise our own Troop Gig to say, the Red Sea? Liveaboard or shore-based - I care not a jot!! The crack would be fierce and it would be something that we could all share as a team experience!! Oh, and have a few moderately polite, medium-sweet sherries as a group into the bargain ;)

So come! Let's be having your suggestions for dates and venues. I'll kick off so we can put a stake in the ground at least:

Red Sea - July - Liveaboard - Northern (wreck and reef) Itinerary.

We could use Tony Blackburn or Regal (or any of the biggies) and get a stonkin group discount. Not everyone has to dive, so non-diving partners and bairns would also be welcome - although if the latter were planned, it would probably be best if we were shore-based (something for them to do during the day, pool, bar etc.)

I have to say that I'll go anywhere, any month, boat or land. But then again I'm a completely sad git! Like you didn't know that already, right?

So let's be having you...!!
