Home / Newsletter / Global Dive Newsletter – February 2009
A massive amount of congratulations to our two brand new freshly qualified instructors – Tara and Alex.
Both recently passed their instructor training with flying colours. We’re so proud!
Alex, Pete, Tara - and Hannah Mes
A big plug too for the beach and ocean clean-up that we’re running Sunday 1 March.
See the details below, and please let Alex or one of us know if you can help out in any way.
And for all those budding underwater photographers out there, check out the April liveaboard trip that we’ve managed to get Richie Robinson to lead. It’s a great opportunity to learn from a real pro photographer!
Dive club meeting
As always the last Monday evening of every month at Global Dive shop here in Westhaven from 6pm onwards.
Dive club meetings are strictly social events – just a BBQ and a few drinks, and chance to chat to some fellow divers looking for dive buddies (or dive buddies with boats).
Plus of course there’s the monthly guest speaker to inspire you on to great things diving.
This month’s dive club meeting is Monday 23 February.
Upcoming club dates
* Monday 30 March
* Monday 27 April
* Monday 25 May
