Mayday bank holiday, West Wales

[Iestyn]

Hi, bit of a takeover from Helen Ps thread on anyone interesrted in a YD gig in West Wales, thought I would put concrete dates down and see if we could fill a boat...

Dive in 2 Pembrokeshire still have a boat available may day bank holiday weekend, £36 per day per person if we can fill a boat for 10 (quoted rate is £40 per person with organiser free but I wouldn't be looking to take the free space), there is also a suggestion on their website that accomodation is available from £25 per head but I haven't queried further into this.

My buddy and I would only be looking to dive the sat and sun, ie the 29th and 30th April (EDIT-I originally wrote 30th and 31st!), the skipper has said he would let me book this, although he would obviously prefer to get a booking for all three days of the bank holiday, so it would probably be open (indeed welcome) for the other 8 people if I fill the boat to charter the monday as well if they wanted to, though I wouldn't be organising this and you'd have to discuss the costs with the skipper yourself.

Am open to suggestions on sites, would be a 40m max, but with a preference for keeping below 30m on the first day as my buddy hasn't done a sea dive since August(and I hadn't dives since August till the NDC yesterday, but hopeing to get more in this year!) Would have a preference to do the Lucy on the Sunday.

Hi Iestyn

I had a look at the web site but they do not list a boat that does 10? do you know which one we will have?

Thanks

James

Hi All, wow that filled quickly! I have asked re the boat and will let you know. Can anyone who wants to sort accomodation together let me know and then I can give Brian numbers. I am sending a £100 cheque to hold the boat, will then need a 25% deposit as soon as possible and the balance a month before. Will let you know tomorrow who cheques need to be payable to etc. Look forward to diving with you all...

[Iestyn]

had this message from the skipper, boat will be either "Volsung, a 105, if not Overdale with a lift"

[Iestyn]

spoke to Brian today, either boat will actually hold 12 if more people are up for it, but I think price would remain the same £36 per persion, so if two more people are up for it they are welcome, but no detriment if no one is. Also feel free to add a subs bench as James is provisional at the moment (I think).

Regarding the deposits, Brian said he's not that bothered about getting the deposit as there's a holding cheque, as long as he gets the full balance by a month before, which is the 29th March. Cheques need to be made out to Brian Dilly, but probably easier to send them via me so I can send them all as one clear bundle?

Bump, still a couple of spaces, and James still not confirmed so could be room, provisional plan is Dakotian and Behar on the saturday, Lucy and any recomended reef in the Skomer Marine Reserve on the Sunday.
