More details on DiverNet

That means there is now no UK commercial diver training school.

And, it would appear, no small victory for Ron Mahoney and his new 'Beyond the Blue' mag!

To dive or not to dive - that's not even an option.

I can't remember the thread - but don't say I didn't point out 990s difficulties. Sad, but that's business.

Hmm

I don't think the closing of Fort William should be viewed as a victory for a magazine.

I realise it's easy to lay blame at mis-management of both mag and Fort William Bren, but it's likely they were run by different people.

You mean that there is no UK commercial bell diving school. There are several still strongly functioning teaching surface demand and SCUBA.
Also I'll think that you'll find that Stenmar haven't gone bust - they've simply pulled out of that well known loss making set up at Fort William.

Yeeharr

Perhaps Fort William and Bovisand were secretly run by the same people.

Could you tell me where these are? Particularly any within striking distance of Cambridge.

Thanks
