Photographs

Unfortunately, the football got in the way at the weekend, so in spite of having students completing advanced, nitrox and wreck diver courses, Tony (well you have to blame someone don't you) managed to forget to take photos of the courses! A big apology to all the students. So instead, here are some of the Portsmouth Athletics team that came second in the Hampshire mini games held in Aldershot.

Website Hits Soar

Still 8 days to go in June and we have already reached our normal monthly target of 1000 unique visitors to the website. And it is great to see some of our regular viewers have been really busy browsing (some even as much as 30 pages in one day yesterday!.... do we have that many pages?) Glad you are all enjoying the website so much.

Another Quiet Weekend.....

... or not as the case may be. Another 8 students passed their Open Water course and helped us get through several bottles of bubbly. Ian managed to capture a few embarrasing moments on camera and sunshine and calm seas meant that Worcester BSAC club had a great introduction to diving in the area with some superb viz on the U1195. We hope you come back soon and try some more of the Solent and IOW dive sites.

IMPORTANT SUUNTO SAFETY NOTICE

The Kids are Loving It!!!

Water Watch Week is continuing to be a great success. The efforts made by the staff at the Blue Reef Aquarium and here at Triton has meant that more and more kids are getting involved and becoming aware of the environmental issues that are facing us today.

Well done to all and keep up the good work

Scorchiooooooo!

What a belter! 30 degrees, England win one-nil (a bit close though eh chaps) another 6 pass the OW course, the experience programme kicks off and another SMB workshop is full and a great success. To cap it all, Katie blags her way in to the IOW festival and gets a piccie of Kate Moss, clothed and not even slightly slaughtered unfortunately, so the mega deal with Hello magazine is off for now. Pictures from all said events can be found on the gallery http://diveclub.tritonscuba.co.uk/modules.php?name=gallery - except for the one of Kate Moss which is currently being passed around the staff!

Dahab Photos

The photos from Dahab are now in the gallery section of the main website (courtesy of Julian Pike). If anyone has any more to add to the members section please let us know.

Changes to the PADI Enriched Air Speciality

PADI have changed the performance requirements for the Enriched Air Speciality. This means that there is now no need to complete any dives. As a result of these changes we have reduced the cost of the course.

Call in to the shop or give us a ring for more details and to book on a course.

CCR Success

Many congratulations to Neil Holden who completed his Evolution CCR course this weekend. Neil brings the number of CCR divers in the club to 7. I think I can see a plan coming together .... anyone fancy a CCR away trip?

Club Weekend Dartmouth - The "Touch Me" Tour

Glorious weather, flat calm seas and a picturesque Devon Town. The club weekend to Dartmouth was one of the best so far. We had 4 dives, including the Maine and the Bretagne with Tony Noiles on his boat Falcon http://www.dartboat.com/home.htm Visibility on the Maine was in excess of 10m and the marine life was incredible. Why the "Touch Me" tour? Because we were chilled right down to the core...... if you haven't seen the advert it will mean nothing. A full report will be published in the relevant sections of the website. Images can be found on
