Bass Strait Club Dive Day - Sat 21st July

[Sealinator]

hi all,

for our inaugural Club Dive Day, I have booked the 08.30 36m Sub and the 12.30 wall dive (Far Side).

If there are sufficient numbers, I will also book slots on the 26m sub immediately afterwards.

We aim to get the 36 sub dive changed to the VHB54 (42msw).

So far:

36 Sub - Neil Richardson and Andy Lowther - 5 SPOTS REMAINING
Far Side - Neil Richardson and Andy Lowther - 8 SPOTS REMAINING

There are another 4 people to be confirmed, so spots will go fast.

Preference will be given to BSAC members. The committee meeting will take place after the wall dive, and the Club meeting at the nominated time (5.30pm if memory serves ?).

At the Club meeting, people will be able to join the BSAC and the Bass Straits club, availing themselves to the benefits (cheaper charter fees, cheap training etc etc).

cheers

G'day Neil & Andy,

Confirming that I am available Saturday 21st July afternoon/ evening.
Can you please book me on for the FARSIDE Dive?
I'll then attend the BSAC club meeting at the Doc's later.

Look forward to it.

Thanks & REgards,
Simon

Hi Neal,

Nice meeting another dive slut - there's comfort in numbers

Please add me to Far Side - any idea what the dive profile is likely to be?

See you on Sat for all that BSAC hoopla.

3 spots left on the VHB54 - c'mon, you tellin me NOBODY ELSE wants to dive this awesome wreck in 40msw ??

5 spots left on Far Side......

clocks ticking....

[chewy]

Hmm too early: warm bed beats wreck dive everytime at 5am - i.e. when I would have to leave home to get to Portsea for an early dive.

you'll have to remind me of your dress size mate so i can get you one that fits....


hehehehe !

[neil_richardson]

Chewy, where do you live??? i'll pick you up on my way past / down???

[chewy]

Dress size: XL - something with a bit of give (jersey cotton) but still fitted (5% lycra)...dark colours work best (I'm a Winter/Summer). Probably best to have a high neck: a hairy-chested bloke in a dress is not for everyone.

Neil - I should be right (Kew) ... I think I'm travelling with Hev and later escorting Hev to Melb Airport to see her off (Bikini Atoll). Thx for the generous offer....

ahmm remind me again who wears a dry suit while diving?

[Hev]

All sensible people (who aren't totally broke) wear dry suits while diving wrecks in winter! There's very little worse than knowing you've still got 15 minutes hang time and you already can't feel your fingers, nose, toes etc. It's what made me give in last winter anyway

Hope you all have a great day diving! Those of us with flights to catch the next morning will do our best not to gloat.

See you all at 5pm for the meeting.

Guaranteed dive-slots close at 10pm TONIGHT. At the moment, there are 3 spots left on the VHB54, and 3 (though 1 person is battling a cold, so this may leave only 2) spots for the wall dive at 1230.

anyone up for it, contact divingofficer@bsac.org.au
