I disagree about there not being enough population base. You don't need that many people in an internet forum to get this kind of thing going. For a boatload of 12, you need something in the region of 20 or so regulars and about the same occasionals. It doesn't need to be a formal club. You just need a bunch of like minded people to book the boats and sort the logistics out. And it's a PITA, but it's not rocket science.
And I'd think you'd at the very least get plenty of DIR curious people coming along. It got to be a bit of a joke on the UKRS dives that people would turn up on their first dive on a single and 6 months later would be on a backplate and wing. TBH I thought that some of them did it a bit too quick. And we were making no conscious effort to promote any kind of diving. If people asked questions, we answered them.
