There must be plenty of divers out there willing to donate money all above board mind.

now I'm either barking mad and missing the point here or it's a bloody good idea that needs a little bit of coaxing???!!!

I think it's a great idea. If you can get together just 100 divers, and they are all happy to donate, oh i dunno, 20 grand each, then we'll be set to buy the land we need and at least the beginnings of a fund to develop it. I'll have a look down the arms of the couch this evening and see what I can cobble together

There you go, but what about if we had say 2000 divers donating, Not beyond the realms of possibilities is it???

It could be in Sussex or Surrey, just an idea. no specific area as such so long as it isn't too far away from the central area.

Then you'd have somewhere to drive your boat around --- with no mooring fees. !

So I could drive down the M6, the M1, round the M25 for a dive? Maybe not for us Northern Based Yorkshire Divers.
