There was nothing to pay at the moment - everyone pays their own on the day in the shop.

If anyone else wants to come along then phone Divers Down on (01929) 423565 and add your name to the booking (mention Yorkshire Divers and any of the necessary details above).

Please post here if you do so we have an accurate indication of who's expected on the boat. I'll send out my mobile number to everyone nearer the time, just in case there are any delays on the day - we wouldn't like to leave anyone behind if we can help it

More info on meeting times, etc will be posted here nearer the day.

Sat works better for us (no holiday needs to be taken) and my diary is chocca for weeks on end...

So! If you could make it the 29th Mrs F and I would be well up for it (maybe 1 other)

Preference would be to arrive mid afternoon for a boat dive and then chill out under the pier until it goes black followed by a few sherbets in Swanage??

Hi Dave
If it's in the afternoon I could probably make it, would prefer to make a booking for a boat space rather than just hope for a space, have you looked at tide times yet etc. If it's on the Saturday I can get down for OMGIE.

Keen but diving out of Eastbourne the 30th so not sure if it will work Probably means Sat best due to needing to stay over "dan sath" and could not take leave for the Friday. I'll look into it

[ShinyD]

I'm flexible, well, in mind anyway.

If people would prefer Saturday 29th than I'll change the initial post to that date. Just bear in mind it does get really busy there on Saturdays

Chris, I'll book boat spaces once we get past the fundamental issue of the date and can work out numbers

Edit... stoopid me didn't read the title, just went to thread from PM. Doh.


If I know the date for sure, I will take it off work and fall in with everyone else seeing as I am so close to Swanage.

Boat/pier/ afternoon/evening...all sounds good to me.

I'm game, as discussed Dave.

It's not that I'm anti Saturday it's just getting on the pier on a Saturday morning. However, if we make it an afternoon and evening dive on the Saturday then I'll go with that OR the Friday. Don't mind. Whatever the majority is.

As for staying, here's a link to a website for various places to stay there if anyone's interested?:- Accommodation in Swanage - Swanage B&B, Swanage Hotels, Swanage Guesthouses, Swanage self catering, Swanage Bed and Breakfast, Swanage Farm Houses

I'd hazard a guess at September as the thread title says so. Take those multi-coloured speccies off your eyes

I'll change it to Saturday 29th September and see if I get loads of requests for Friday 28th then

[Edit] Ok - now changed to Saturday 29th September.
