Porthkerris III - The Cat's Back

[sch]

OK, following on from our trip a couple of weekends ago where much fun was had by all, we'd been talking about heading on down later in the year.



I've had a word with Porthkerris (website: www.porthkerris.com) and their hardboat the 'Celtic Cat' is available on the weekend of the 8th/9th of October. Boat costs are £40 per day including lunch.

Diving is generally in the 20-35m range, although there are a couple of shallower dives if people want to do them - I can recommend the Rock Island Bridge as a nice little bimble!


I'll probably be down and doing some shore diving on the 7th if anyone's interested in coming down a day early.

If you're interested let me know - I'll need to get a 50% deposit to secure spaces, the rest will be payable 6 weeks beforehand. There's no onboard compressor so you'll either need twins or 2 cylinders - Porthkerris' prices are on their website.

Rick, added you to the list as a possible.

As for deposits, if you can get one to me as soon as you decide you're a definite - either cheque or PM for bank details for a transfer if that's easier.
