Thanks for this Bren, one question immediately comes to mind and that is there specific any provision for the camera gear eg dry tables, seperate rinse tanks, secure stowage areas?

I'll make it quite clear from the outset - I'm not sharing a double room with Tim!

Hi Tim,

We can certainly cater for your camera needs. We have a large dry table in the saloon area suitable for cleaning, preparing camera equipment.

We provide buckets/tubs of fresh water for rinsing/soaking camera equipment. In terms of secure stowage areas - I'd advise bringing kit in a peli case etc. and we can store these securely for you.

The kit will be secure both in terms of not rattling around, and also Zuza will be securely locked up when the team are all onshore.

Im not sure if it's been mentioned before, but we also have an onboard laptop for viewing photos.

Regards,
Holly

Hi Guys,

As Holly will have by now told you, your Snappers' trip is is now classed as 'Leg 1' of The Full Circle Britain Expedition


For anyone wanting to join later legs (Isle of Man, Rathlin Island, Scapa Flow Oban etc.) you can see details of this year's trip here:

www.fullcirclebritain.co.uk

We'll be posting more on the full itinerary for the Full Circle Britain Expedition on the boards shortly. There'll be a big splash in the dive and industry mags next year, so those YD'ers attending any leg of the tour might end up as media stars as the magazine articles and web-blogs covering the event emerge....

I can see it all now, I'll end up having to speak to Stevie Walker's press agent to see if he wants to come out for a beer! No doubt I'll have to call his people to get them to call my people so we can organise some symbiotic 'face-time' together....

Due to a change in circumstances an opportunity has now arisen for two lucky photo-oriented divers to take these places on this very cool ship to one of the coolest UK diving locations, Roll up! roll up! get 'em while they're hot!

Unfortunately it looks extremely unlikely that I will be able to get the time off work for this trip so regretfully I must bow out.

I sure you will have a fantastic time.
