I'm keen to get very wet this year as I will be starting my DM in the Autumn. Happy to dive anywhere and I can normally dive mid-week if given enough notice; Saturdays are also good for me. I also enjoy diving from boats so if you're aftr a buddy and fancy a trip to the coast, give me a call.

to being self employed, I have been out of the UK diving scene for over

kitted out for single or twin rigs and I'm really looking forward to
getting back into the water.

I have recently moved to the area from kent where I dove with the guys
from Simply Scuba. My last dive was in March due to moving house. I now
live 20 minutes from Vobster Quay and I'm looking to get my dive
numbers up and just to get
back in the water. I am available weekends and sometimes in the week as
well, being only 20mins away does mean a short notice dive after 2pm is
sometimes worth a shout.

I have been diving for about a year and I'm keen to rack up some dives
so I can progress on to do my Divemaster course. I am looking to dive
two to three times a month at Vobster. Never dived there before, but
the way the British weather is this time of year thought now might be a
good time to start. If anyone is interested don't hesitate to get in

Having just done PADI Rescue course, I'm looking to rack up lots of
experience this year prior to doing Divemaster next year. Mature,
sensible and safe. Happy to potter at Vobster or go to the coast. I do

acquiring the gear slowly and am happy to hire. I am willing to dive
with anyone who is responsible and conscientious. I hold the enhanced

I work weekends which means I can only dive midweek (and few odd
holidays). I am looking for someone likeminded - ideally with a PADI
background - who is an experienced diver like myself, although not
necessarily at the same level. Living somewhere close to me would be an
advantage too, although I appreciate that I will need to travel since
Aylesbury is the furthest town in the UK from the sea! Transport is not
a problem, though, as I have my own car. Thanks for reading and get in
touch soon!

weekend or evening dive as I'm only about half an hour away from

| Been to Vobster twice, first time was a
nightmare, due to freezing cold weather and freezing regs, however came
back again to bury the ghost (so to speak). Had a great time - aircraft
was fab as was the viz! All in all, a great place to dive. Will return
many times in the future. Burgers are great too - can't have too many
though might have to buy a new suit!!!

I am really keen to get down to the coast to do some diving but I'm
also more than willing to buddy up with anyone wanting to dive at
Vobster - I am usually available at fairly short notice most days of
the week. You can see me in the picture above (I'm the one on the
left!).

| Recently completed my PADI Rescue Diver
through Vobster and PADI Deep & Nitrox specialties but now need
someone to dive with. Interested in diving on a Friday, Saturday or
Sunday at Vobster and perhaps the occasional trip to the coast when
weather permits.
