More website visitors than ever ...

We thought that June was good, but July has broken all records this year with over 1400 unique visitors to the site and an incredible 10,000 hits. And this was in spite of a very poor showing from one of our regular visitors who dropped from an average of 80 visits a month (nearly in the top 10) to a rather disappointing 10. Must have been something we said last month! We continue to add more and more information to the site and try to keep it up to date, so it is great to see that it is appreciated with so many visits.

"Tony, You're Scaring the Girls"

As you can see from the evidence below - Tony's phone is full of nasty little surprises.



Also here are some other random snaps of the night.

Random social on the beach

'The Tour' continued on Southsea beach last night, with a little bimble around the submarine blocks, a BBQ and lashings and lashings of wine. With the added bonus of a spectacular thunder storm over the Channel the evening proved to be a great sucess, with some of the more hard core members going on to party well into the early hours.

New FUJI Camera Now In Stock

As the only Fuji Dive Centre in the area, we are first to get in the latest cameras. Now in stock, we have the new award winning F30, which compliments the already popular F11 range. The F30 is smaller and more powerful, with amazing natural light setting and underwater mode features that enable you to take pictures even when it is almost dark, without a flash. The battery is good for over 500 pictures and the camera even has an internal memory as well as an XD memory card. As a Fuji Centre, we are offering this package at £429.99 including the camera, housing, carry case and XD memory card. For a demo, why not pop into the dive centre.

A bit of bondage at the Royal Beach

There have been more strange goings on at the Royal Beach Hotel - Davina Jones was caught getting all tied up with Bruno in one of the hotel meeting rooms.
Management and the Police are investigating.......
We need to know more.

New EFR Instructors

Many congratulations to Jo Scrimshaw who came all the way from Dorking, and John Marchant on completing their EFR instructors course on 18 July. Hopefully both Jo and John will be working with us (we might even "team up") in the near future.

Strange goings on in Southsea Hotel .......

The story so far .......there is a bit of latex going around, and then someone brings out some rubber dolls. Yes they are anatomicaly correct so although they might be armless and legless they DO still have nipples. Alledgedly, they can still be attractive in the right light. Do you think we need to know more ....

FUJI A400 Camera Snorkelling Package

Fuji FinePix A400 Camera

and

Waterproof Housing

£155

We are currently offering this package at a great price. The package includes:

• Fuji A400 Digital Camera

The package has been designed for snorkelling but the sturdy waterproof case makes it suitable for all kinds of sports and at £155 it's most definitely a bargain. For more details pop into the dive centre and we'll be happy to demo it.

The 'Touch Me' tour continues at Horsea

'The Tour' continued with the successful completion of an Open Water course with 6 students qualifiying. After the customary Champers back at the shop, we adjourned to The 3 Marines for a 'few quiet ones'!!! The night was then rounded off with an unusual rendition of Greased Lightning in The Alma by Tony on the karaoka. Congratulations to all!!

...its gonna be a heat waaaaave ...

Bit of a hot weekend you have to admit. We got out on Buccaneer on the Saturday for a couple of dives in Bracklesham, but could not get round the Bill due to the Easterlies that were blowing in. So with some fresh breezes it was a good job on Sunday that we had a shore dive planned. The dive experience programme took about 25 club members down to Seatown, the other side of Bridport. The shingle beach had a bit of a swell on entrance and exit, but once everyone had got to grips with donning fins while floating rather than trying to walk in it was ok. The diving is not brilliant but good for divers looking to gain further experience of different sites and conditions. Maximum depth is 7m and there is a shallow reef a few yards off shore festooned with Spider Crabs. After the first dive we had a cracking BBQ on the beach, before dive 2 followed by a couple of cold ones in the Anchor pub. We will let you know when the next diving experience session is planned in due course.

Club Night - 6 July

It was another cracking club night and the warm weather meant that many had their meals outside on the terrace of the Royal Beach hotel. At least 70 turned up to enjoy the evening and it was great to see some new club members, including Felipe from Chile, newly qualified open water diver Julie and many more. Many thanks to everyone who helped us to raise another £136 for charity on the night. To remind you, there is no club meeting next month, but we look forward to seeing you all at the summer ball on 5 August

Carlsberg

Carlsberg don't do mystery women ........ but if they did, they would probably be the best mystery women in the world.

Strange Short Bloke ..... answers to name of Donk

So there we were in the pub, Saturday night, lost on penalties again .... drowning sorrows .... the Portugese are cheats etc etc. Hey get over it. A blistering weekend with nothing but sunshine and fun. And another 9 successful OW students .... and some strange short fat bloke turned up. None other than trainee DM, Donk (also known as Mick), who decided to inflate his superstretchy neoprene suit much to amusment of the general public down at Horsea. Well we thought it was quite funny anyway.
