Sorry for keeping you waiting for the info about this trip but I’ve just received a quote from the Tenerife Diving Centre and a package of 4 dives over 2 days, 3 nights of self catering accomodation and transfer from and to the airport will cost £110/159 euros per person. Therefore, the other costs will be the flights, food and drinks.

In order to secure your place on this trip you need to book a return flight to Tenerife South (aka Tenerife Sur, Reina Sofia or TFS) for 16th of March, returning on 19th of March and e-mail the confirmation to me. I’ll forward it to the center. They do not ask for a deposit but they need all flights confirmations as guarantee of your commitment to booking and also to check arrivals and departures to plan the transfers.

As the trip is not only diving but also a social event, please arrive at Tenerife before 7pm on the 16th March that we can have a briefing, go for a meal together and get to know each other before diving.

When booking a return flight for 19th March please ensure that you departure is not earlier than about 4pm to allow a 24 hours surface interval after the last dive.

I’m going to put this trip on the Events list tonight so please click the tick if you are interested. It doesn’t oblige you to anything but at least will give me a rough estimate how many people are keen.

Please e-mail me any questions by clicking on the envelope on the top of this post. 

One of the benfits of having online trip reports rather than a newsletter is that we are no longer limited to print and photos. I have set up a YouTube account in GLUG’s name to host any video footage that people may want to include in future trip reports.

I’ve used two short clips in my Mozambique trip report to give you an idea of how it will look.

So, if you have any video that you would like to share with the club or use in a trip report please let me know and I will send you our YouTube username and password so you can upload it (or email me the clip and I’ll do it for you).

I have almost finished transferring all of the old trip reports from the newsletters onto the website. We also have three brand-spanking new, never-seen-before trip reports which you might want to take a look at:
Scapa Flow by Lee Brown
Farne by Aleš
Marsa Alam by Robert Ho and Andy

I have loaded some of my pics from New Year in Djibouti into the gallery. (The GLUG contingent was Brian Broadbridge and me.)The highlight of the trip was snorkeling with several whale sharks and a manta ray for about an hour on New Year’s day - and again on the next day. Comments etc. gratefully received…
