Hi Everyone.
Following on from GLUG’s last two fabulous Southern Red Sea trips on the magnificent Blue Seas, I have booked her once again and, this time, we will be doing The Brothers, Daedalus and Elphinestone. These are mostly drop off dives with wonderful coral covered walls on one shoulder and, on the other, the blue with great chances of seeing Hammerheads, Grey Reefers, White Tips, Blue Fin Tuna, Baracuda and, the killer turtle on Daedalus!! You will need to have at least 50 dives under your belt for this trip.
Feel free to read the trip reports on previous trips to these reefs to get a feel for a day on board Blue Seas. Also, for those of you who went on last year’s trip (2006) Berga and Tobias ( 2 burgers and a beer) are back on Blue Seas and we are keeping our fingers crossed that they will be our dive guides for next year!
To book please call Oonasdivers on 01323 648924 with a deposit of £200 (only refundable by replacing your canceled place with someone new) and then please email me so as I can keep my paperwork up to date. This a first come first served trip with booking only accepted once you have paid your deposit. Presently there are 18 places left. Thanks.
Finally, just to sound bite this idea-if anyone is interested in me organising what I can only describe as a ‘pretty’ trip, doing The Fury Shoals/St Johns including Dolphin House safari liveaboard, with less challenging diving, but equally very beautiful, especially for photographers, let me know and I can then price it up and arrange. For now, it would be on Blue Waves which holds 15 people and I would be looking at a May trip for around £895. Looking forward to hearing from anyone interested and then, I will ‘event’ it.
Best wishes to everyone and please feel free to get back to me with any questions.

Hi there,
Wondering how this trip is filling up?
I’m in Canada, but it is such a fantastic deal that I’m very tempted. Al so think it would be fun to catch up with an international group, nad you seem to be a very adventurous bunch. The only thing I would question is experience - I do have 50 dives, and am very confident and comfortable underwater, but I have to admit that over the years I have not kept a log. Just recently came back from Roatan where I was certified PADI Advanced + Nitrox, with only 8 booked dives. Would you see this as a problem?
thx…Brian

Hi Brian
Yes, this is a fantastic deal and I am pleased you are tempted. I will make an inquiry regarding your non logged dives and get back to you asap. I do not see it as a problem, and would imagine that the dive guides will assess you on the first few dives and then make a decision.
My email address for further contact is in2theblue@mac.com
I hope you can join us and I will get back to you in a few days time.
Best wishes
Charlie

Hi Brian
As promised, I made an inquiry re your non logged dives and it shouldn’t be a problem. However, as previously suggested, having assessed you as a diver, the dive guides and boat skipper, will have the ultimate call on this.
I hope to hear from you soon.
