Newhaven Divers meets FACEBOOK

For all those people out there on Facebook, you'll be glad to hear that we have gone "Facebook". We have created a Newhaven Divers Group. Just search for the group and away you go.

This is so everyone can see what we are doing, when we are doing it and whos doing it with who.

We also plan to have a monthly newsletter for those of you not up to speed on Facebook - email us your address if you wish to go on the mailing list for the Newsletter. First one is due out mid april once we return from Nemo.

Look forward to seeing all those going to Nemo next weekend, so be good fun

May Liveaboard

Just had confirmation that the last place as just been booked for our may trip to Egypt.

Catherine is going to be joining us taking the remaining space.

with just over 40 days to go it can t come round too quickly as the weather is crap and Ive got withdrawal symptoms from not getting in the sea!

PADI DM's

After starting a successful training season,our 2 new training DM's Steve and Alan are excited by the challenges that lay ahead.This Easter weekend kicked off with 2 new students doing their PADI OW course under the watchful eye of Ron,their instructor.
A visit to NEMO 33 and NDC at Chepstow,in April will further their training,closely followed by a weeks liveaboard to the Red Sea.A full boat of 18 'Newhaven Divers Ltd.'divers will give them ample experience to extend their knowledge towards their qualification.
I wish them well and am ready for medical queries etc that may arise!

PADI OW

The start of a new dive season has started on a good footing with 2 newcomers to the Newhaven Diving family. Starting their PADI OW on friday, followed by 2 days in the pool and now awaiting for more favourable weather temperatures to do the 4 qualifying dives. Rebecca and Catherine have faired well under the watchful eye of Steve and Alan and their instructor Ron.
Teaching in perfect water temps, 30c, is a lot better than freezing out in the open to start the diving adventure. Their journey will take them to Nemo 33 for 2 dives then 2 more dives off the RIB MacD running out of Newhaven, giving them their PADI OW certs.
We wish them all the best to complete their PADI OW and onto greater diving adventures.
Newhaven Diving Team.
