Exmouth - May Day weekend - 4 spaces

[aquaholic]

I have four spaces on a three day trip 29 April (PM) to 2 May (PM).

Diving will be from Wave Chieftain, Skipper Richard Tibbs (see http://www.wave-chieftain.co.uk/)

Cost for the boat is ukp 105 per person.

Min Qual: Experienced BSAC Dive Leader or equiv.
Equip needed: two tanks, dSMB
Air fills/Nitrox available from local shop.
B&B can be arranged on request for ukp 23 ish pppn, subject to availability.

Plan is for two dives per day, ideally both wrecks, but tide and weather dependant, second dive likely to be a reef. We dived there last Easter and the reefs were great with losts of flatties and other fish about. See Paul's report http://www.yorkshire-divers.co.uk/fo...ead.php?t=1316

Current dive plan:
Sat: Bretagne 30m (http://www.divernet.com/wrecks/wtour211100.htm)
Sun: Boma 33m - Merchant ship
Mon: Lord Stewart 38m (http://www.divernet.com/wrecks/wtour341201.htm)

If you are interested please PM me.

I've dived off Richard's boat twice now and I'm going again at least once this year. He's a fantastic skipper and the Bretagne and Lord Stewart are great wrecks - plenty of life on them although the vis wasn't great on either trip. I can highly recommend the Dolphin Hotel - slightly more expensive than a B&B but very comfy, great b'fast, has a bar and is run by a diver. The mexican in town is also worth a visit.

If I wasn't already diving the late May bank holiday, I'd have my name down here in an instant.

The Dolphin:

Dolphin Hotel. 4 Morton Road, Exmouth. Jo Knowles
01395 263832

I forgot to mention, it's walking distance from the harbour. We've always driven the kit down to the boat, driven the car back to the car park then walked back down.

The Mexican is in town - almost opposite the Wetherspoons. Can't remember the name at the moment but will make enquiries at the club on Thrusday.
