| 2nd-5th April 2010 | Pembrokeshire | 10 of 12 | mayday | £0 | £0 | BSAC Sports or equlivalent | form | |
| The cunning plan is to have 2 days' worth of course and 1 or 2 days doing project work and diving. Steve is quite flexible about which days we do which (weather dependent) and whether people want to do just the course or do some diving.
RYA courses: prices as per attached booking form. If you want more information about the content of the courses, go to www.rya.org.uk. Steve is doing the RYA courses, so should match what's on there.
Project work: Dave Bonney and I (with Steve Lewis's able assistance) will do an introduction to search and recovery. We've a couple of specific items we want to locate and raise - a camera in the Haven which was being used for a survey - it's on a big sledge and a tin ingot which came off a wreck.
Diving: £45 per person per day. NB it will be cold at the beginning of April, but the viz should be great. This is optional, but we need 6 people minimum.
A deposit of £11 per diving day plus the course fee secures a place. The balance (to GLUG) is payable four weeks before the first day of diving.
Please find enclosed details of possible accommodation. Early booking is advisable. More comprehensive details regarding the weekend will be sent 4 weeks beforehand. Packed lunch will be available. | Cold - drysuit. Early season diving and suited to more experianced divers |  | Mark, | smokiejoe |

Suitable for newly-qualified up to experienced divers.
You make your own accommodation arrangements, but there is a downloadable list of suggested B&Bs below.

However, divers are free to make their own arrangements - there is a list of suggested B&Bs below. The boat will leave from Mount Batten Marina, so anywhere near there would be fine.

Always a popular weekend, with lots of easily accessible wrecks and reefs.
