I would like to be able to visit the GLUG website without being told that I should consider the carbon footprint of my diving holidays.  I understand that environmental issues are very important to some & applaud them for their convictions; I wonder however if the GLUG website is an appropriate place to promote these.  We’ve given a menu tab to carbon offsetting, but we haven’t got any such links to “Save the Whale” or other marine issues. 

Issues such as global warming should be left to the individual consciences of the members & glug should remain neutral on them. 

I appreciate that I’m probably in a minority in my beliefs, however glug members should understand more than most that; just because 90% of the population holds a particular viewpoint, doesn’t make the other 10% wrong!!!

I’ve got a few spaces on a dive I’m organising for my local BSAC club. They’re GLUG friendly - in fact we often combine Dorothy Divers and West Wickham training. It’s a brilliant hard boat - Skin Deeper - skippered by Len Hurdiss who used to take GLUG out on Autumn Dream. Accommodation is at a nearby comfortable B&B. Let me know if you’re interested.
