It's funny because it's true. In so many ways.

Nah, when you're doing real Consultancy work you don't deliver anything more than a presentation mate, that way you can't be blamed for anything!

When you're doing real consultancy work all you do is say what's wrong with the presentation, and how you could have had a better presentation if you'd only invested in consultancy in the first instance

Apparently Spartacat in Brighton is free on the 18th Feb if anyone fancies a dive - was thinking of something in the 20 - 30m ish range followed by something shallower later on. Usual rules apply - If I get 6 or more interested we can book and go ahead!

Right. Haven't heard back from Tim of Spartacus, and unfortunately Steve of Nauticat is unavailable that day. Going to try Brighton Diver and Girl Gray today and see where we get. Sorry for this guys, hopefully I'll sort this out today

I'm getting seriously concerned at the lack of scope control being employed here, I could supply you some PM resource for c. £3.2k/day

Right chaps and chapesses, we have a Brighton boat - Girl Grey, going from Brighton Marina, next to the big free car park - booked all for us. I'm calling Mike later to confirm price etc, but it's likely to be around £40 for a 20-30m dive then a drift later. I'm going to send an £80 deposit to secure the boat, so I'll probably pay for the whole boat on the day and collect cash on the day or after the day to cover the deposit and boat fees.

Start time will be firmed up after a call to the skipper at 5pm this evening, but it's likely to be an early one due to the tides - approx 7.30am but I'll confirm this later.

I'll post anything else asap, and if we're happy, I'll chuck the deposit in the post!

Most boats take 12. I presume this one does too although I have not dived from it before.

Dave you're in for a treat if you've never dived the South Coast before. It's much warmer than up in Scotland. In February, the water should have warmed up enough to dive in a 3mm shortie.

There are indeed 12 spaces available on the boat. Welcome Dave, though you may need the 5mm shortie as it's probably still around 9oC
