Hi everyone,
I'm a member of Mid Herts Divers (http://www.midhertsdivers.com) and I'm organising a dive from Portsmouth on Saturday 16th August - that's this Saturday!
The dive is with WightDiver (http://www.wightdiver.co.uk) who we've used before and found to be very reliable and safety-concious.
The two dives we're organising are in the 20-30 metre range (http://www.wightdiver.co.uk/pages/sites/20-30m.htm) and include two of the Asbourg, a Torpedo Recovery Boat, HMS Boxer, HMS P12 or the Shirala.
We have 6 spaces available at a cost of £40 per person.
The boat is a 38ft/11.5m Cygnus Revenge hardboat fully licensed by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) to operate up to 60 miles from any safe haven.
With a beam of over 4 metres, she has in excess of 30 square metres of deck space and is one of the largest vessels in her class. She also sports a convenient diver lift.
Every diver has a seat that will support their tanks with storage for bags, dive gear and stage cylinders underneath.
Just set up all of your equipment before leaving the mooring (enjoying the customary cup of tea or coffee) and enjoy the ride to the dive site.
Once there, simply sit down, strap on your gear and go diving.
Wightdiver is powered by a 650HP Iveco marine diesel engine and has a cruising speed of 19 knots. With a light load, she can reach a top speed of 25 knots, getting you out to those distant sites with the minimum of fuss.
If you or any members of your club would be intersted in joining us on these dives, please contact me on 07979 693 003
Safe diving
Adrian
