Special Event - An evening with some of the team from the BBC series "Oceans - 11 September 2009

We have brought you some great guests in the past including TV personality Monty Halls and underwater film cameraman, Mike Pitts. Well next month on a similar TV them were bringing you some of the personalities from the BBC series "Oceans".

Tooni Mahto and Lucy Blue (shown in the photo above taken from the BBC website) were two of the presenters on the recent BBC "Oceans" series. The programme took a year to film and went around the globe to explore the underwater world. Tooni was the marine biologist for the programme while Lucy, a lecturer from Southampton university, was the marine archaeologist. Both of them have kindly offered to give a one-off presentation on the making of the series, as Tooni put it to me "a bit of a behind the scenes look at the programme".

The event is taking place on 11 September at the Royal Beach Hotel in Southsea at 7.00 pm. The cost will be just £15 (£10 to club members) and this includes a meal. All proceeds are going to go to charity. After the event there will be the opportunity to have a bit of a social with other dive clubs in the area, as well as meet the presenters. You can find out more about the presenters and the series by going to the website on http://www.bbc.co.uk/oceans

For anyone with a vague interest in diving, marine biology, marine archaeology or the marine environment in general, this is a unique opportunity, and I am sure that it will be great fun as well. If you would like to go, the tickets are available from Triton Scuba. Telephone 02392 838773. Payment by cash or cheque only please. Closing date to buy tickets is 7th September and we expect this to be a popular event so get your tickets early.
