WC IV Exmouth weekend available 6-7 Sept 08

[Sixsquid]

Okay, I have a little bit more info on this.
The tides/slacks may mean a ropes off around 11-12 midday, with associated return times after 2 dives of, say 6-7pm.
Given this could be a bit late for some with some distance to travel on Sunday evening there may be an option to catch an earlier slack but this would mean a ropes off of about 7am. Decisions on this will first depend on whether we can fill the boat and get a go ahead but food for thought

In case anyone wants to dive one day I have split the list but I imagine we will still need to fill the boat both days to make it viable for some of us so one day filled will not necessarily secure the trip

The sea will be warm, its neaps and I just bet, being early Sept, the weather will be wonderful So .............. sign up, you know you want to .......

To re-iterate :- at the moment Adrian is estimating a cost of approx £45/day based on filling the boat with 12 divers. Adrian would probably look for 50% deposit and would need prompt payment. Usual rules apply whereby if the spaces are filled and makes the trip a go'er so those signed up are obliged to pay for the space or secure a replacement

As per Adrian, ('cos I've never dived out of Exmouth) based on a 35m max, that gives a fair few options of Boma, Lord Stewart, Peronne, Bretagne, Geffion and Radaas and the vis also tends to be better that time of year than now (April)

How have you calculated these times Sixy. My tables show different. (Will recheck tonight)

All nice enough wrecks, the Bretagne is best left as a second dive though as it is only about 20 metres on the deck. Of the ones mentionsed above, I would like to do the Radaas as that is the only one that I have not done.

Likewise Steve, the Radaas will be on the top of the list to do.

I have had a bit of interest from within the club, with a bit of luck we can make this a go if a couple more confirm and it is still available.

OK no prob as I calculated slack on the saturday as 3:15 pm (ish) and 3:50 (ish) on the Sunday. Or the earlier tide at 9:45

So it does make sense to jump the tide for the second day.

Just made a change as one of my dive lists shows me already booked that weekend, and another one doesn't. Will get it sorted by tomorrow.
