August Bank Holiday - Any boats available?

[Scubee]

I know this is a bit of a long shot, but here goes.

I thought I had a booking for the August Bank Holiday weekend (23/24/25 August) of a highly recommended boat in Plymouth.

Sadly, it turns out that I haven't.

So now, I have a bunch of rufty tufty divers expecting to do some nice stuff over that weekend. The skipper has been very good, and tried his contacts, but it looks as though we have.. erm... missed the boat. Probably, with it being neaps and a long weekend, it was a popular weekend to go diving.

Has anyone got any suggestions, or know of any boats that might be a)suitable for rb's, twins etc and b)available for the 3 days.

Thanks

I´ve got several spaces if you want to do 45m stuff out of Weymouth on that weekend. Have a look at My Trips 2008

thanks, Jason. The group (which is any 12 from about 25) are due to go to Weymouth/Portland twice already, doing those dives - I had hoped to get them somewhere different on a whole boat, but if i can't find anything, I might take you up on that!

Thanks, Tom. He appears to be booked for half of Sunday, which kind of puts a hole in the weekend.

Yeah - i figured they would be. That's why I booked it in about July last year.

Steve, I'm sorry mate, I didn't realise I put you on the other way round!!!! Dude so sorry, You're first on the list at the mo, unless you push her off!!! There were no preferences honestly
I've not had all the deposits yet, so I'll send a reminder!!

Sorry scubee for hijacking your thread.

I had difficultly booking a boat when I did for that weekend and that was back in September last year!

The conversation about our rufty tufty divers generally goes along the lines of:

When is it?
What boat is it?
Does it have a lift?
Where does it leave from?
What dives are we doing?

in that order of priority. I reckon most would rather stay at home than take their twins/rb's etc on a rib!
But thank you for the thought.
