Thumbs up Scuba Santas 2008

Being as its cold and wet I've been pondering winter...

I'm getting back into running as my neck is finally getting sorted so I've entered a couple of races around christmas (one is my fav Evilprofessor.co.uk » Blog Archive » Merthyr Mawr Christmas Pudding Challenge 10k 2007). So it got me thinking... what else is there to do but plan the 'Scuba Santa Dives 2008'!

For those of you who missed it last year here's a report: Evilprofessor.co.uk » Blog Archive » Santa Dives - Vobster Quay 2007

I've applied to the guiness book of records again this year - was denied last year, possibly due to late application and no history of event. This year given the BBC coverage and the event 'history' we might have more of a chance.

So anyway, here's the first post about the event simply to gather consensus on which day the event will be held.

Plan is to have it at Vobster again, as Tim was great last year, but I'll have to have to chat to confirm that this is ok with him.

Event to be held on Saturday 20th December 2008
