At the moment I can't take the spaces on Saturday and Monday so open them up to everyone, if there's still spaces left I'll see what I can do

Also he has sent me the following list of accommodation they use. (this is copy and pasted from his list) I haven't stayed at any of these so cannot vouch for them. I am also taking a look around for campsites in the area.

A bit of an update on the B&B list that you posted.

Loyal Watcher will probably be in Ireland, so not available for accommodation.

Heidi Collins no longer does B&B

Royal Oak were doing a refurb, I think, so not sure if they are doing B&B

Borringdon Arms, definitely a great place.

Just a reminder to everyone now, that you need to have paid in full for this trip by now, there are still a couple of outstanding individuals (and also those who haven't paid !! )


I am speaking to Skipper next week to look at more precise times for each day but the rough plan is ropes off around 9am each day with a most probabe return on Monday afternoon between 3-4pm depending on what we opt to do.

Just to re-emphasise, although our plan is to go for Eddystone and Hands Deep over the weekend, if the weather gets in the way we may need to change sites. That's part of the joy of UK diving!


Fintan picks up from Mountbatten, nearest place to get fills is at In Deep within the centre there.
