Hi All,

• Saturday 4th June: Vobster Quay – Colin & Kevin attended their Accelerated Decompression practical on a lovely, surprisingly uncrowded day at Vobster.  There was pretty much an instructor or an instructor support per diver (we were 4 trainees); there was plenty of advice & tips exchanged among the group.
• Tuesday 14th June: Vobster Quay – Sue & Colin popped off to the quay for some practice (on a nice quiet weekday)
• Saturday 25th June: Plymouth – Kevin organised a somewhat more eventful than expected trip to kick the cobwebs out down in Plymouth. Check out the full dive report for all the excitement https://aerodivers.net/2022/06/perilous-plymouth-jun-22/
• Thursday 30th June: Cromhall – Colin & Kevin met for a quiet bimble around the quarry. Good to see the place so busy, not just with divers but plenty of swimmers too
• Thursday 7th/Friday 8th July: Portland – Rob pulled off his long gestating trip & it sounds like it was well worth waiting for. Full report (from Rob) here https://aerodivers.net/2022/07/portland-paradise-jul-22/
• Thursday 21st July: Cromhall – Sue, Colin & Kevin explored the little-visited eastern wall of Cromhall quarry!
• Thursday 28th July: Cromhall – Sue organised an evening visit to keep those diving muscles oiled & get in practice for Isle of Man in less than 2 weeks! Colin, Pete, Neil & Kevin joined her with several of the party exploring the western wall – for a change! There were also plenty of other divers & swimmers too: Cromhall on a Thursday evening really is the place to be!

• We’ve had quite a lot of interest in try-dives the last few months, particularly in July with at least 3 enquiries that may result in 5 try-dives – hopefully they’ll get hooked!

• Lee, an old hand at diving (Advanced Diver & Open Water Instructor) has successfully completed his refresher training with the support of Sue.
• Nigel likewise having done his pool lessons is about to embark on the Open Water aspects of the BSAC Ocean Diver course under Tims’ expert tutelage
• Colin continues his Dive Leader training with support from Sue & did the Practical Rescue Management Skills Development Course in June with O2 Admin & a few more theory & open water sessions to go which may well be handled via a group organised by the BSAC South West Regional coach
• Kevin & Colin attended Accelerated Decompression Procedures (ADP) lecture 2, on the evening of Thursday 2nd June  before finishing things off with a couple of dives at Vobster Quay on Saturday 4th June. Qualifications gained with this course are not only ADP but also Advanced Twinset Diver & we also covered Primary Donate – there’s no stopping us now!

• Mondays: Don’t forget the regular Monday nights up at Badminton School where you can try out your kit, have a swim, have a chat & then repair to BAWA afterwards
• Walk/Pub: The walk & then a pub (or walk to a pub 🙂 ) organised by Hazel in early June seems to have gone down very well with over 10 people attending so there could well be more!
• Pirate Golf  event at the end of July has unfortunately had to be postponed
