Dear all,

Due to a glitch in the booking system, the Open Water course wasn’t showing on the training pages! It is now.  Please book your place, or register an interest.  If you can’t make this weekend, there will be others, we have also booked the pool for 18th & 19th September too and will be running part 2 very shortly for those who wish to complete in the UK by the end of this season.  Any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

All the best

I am in South London and could pick up on route, there should be enough space for 4  and gear.

 I am flexible on the date.

Please let me know if you are interested.

I also have friends that want to come and snorkel while I dive – any suggestions for the good site to look out for?

Any info would be greatly received.

Regards, Ali

The lovely Fiona M and I are returning to The Cocos Islands on 14th September. Please check out the GLUG trip post for full details, as well as the most up to date, trip reports on Undersea Hunter. Humpback Whales, Tiger Sharks, hundreds of Hammies, dolphins etc etc have been gracing this amazing place!!! Don’t miss out folks!

The lovely Holly from Maldives Scuba Tours has been in touch with me to say that there is 1 place left and they would be prepared to discount this by £600 making the new price £2635 + flights. I have just had a quick check for flights and BA, which Fiona and I are using, can do it for £714 (approx).

If anyone is interested on this great deal, please contact Holly at MSC through the web site link.

I hope someone can avail themselves of this great offer and join me and Fiona to return to the amazing Cocos Islands.

Cheers all.

See the previous Announcement for more details.

For all those who came to our Try Dives and want to learn to dive, this is the course for you. Or if you’ve never done a Try Dive but want to learn to dive anyway, come along and start the journey. All training in GLUG is done in small groups in a gay friendly environment and this course is running on a first come, first served basis.

Part 1 is the pool work and theory, Part 2 takes you out into open water and gives you a licence to dive to 18 metres with a buddy of your choice! You can complete Part 2 here in the UK with GLUG (why wouldn’t you?), or you can complete the course either abroad with GLUG or in a destination of your choice in any of the PADI centres across the world.

Check out the details on the trips page and reserve your place using the booking form there.

I look forward to diving with you shortly

A brief reminder that it’s our BBQ Social & try dive on Saturday (see the Try Dive page for details) We do still have a couple of spaces if anyone still wants to book a Try Dive and several spaces for the SCUBA Review course too. This is a great way to freshen up your skills if you haven’t dived in a while or are planning a dive holiday in the next 6 months.

Even if you’re not planning to dive, come along to the social, meet the rest of the gang and knock back some beers, burgers or toffu ;-)

Also keep an eye on the training page if you’re interested in furthering you dive training, as Ian and I are offering a number of training courses in the next couple of months, as well as an introduction to UK diving trip out of Portland on 11th & 12th September.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, or one of the monthly meetings.

All the best and happy diving
