Plymouth 20th Jan - DIR Fundamentals

*Brian Allen* · December 18th, 2005, 03:56 PM

Hi all,

Aquanauts is hosting A GUE / DIR Fundamentals Course, with Andy Kerslake, running from midday on Friday 20th January through till Sunday 22nd. This will be the normal DIR Fundamentals Course as opposed to the new extended version. Cost for the course is £300. Dives will be run from our hard boat Aquanaut, or if the weather is bad, our favourite shallow quarry.

There's 4 spaces, 1 left

1. Marco
2. Polaris (Paul K, I know you lurk are you gonna introduce yourself or should I?)
3. Fraser C
4.

Mr Kerslake will be coming back down to teach a Tech-1 course in June so if you're keen to move this way now's your opportunity.
Thanks,

Brian

sorely tempted but Jan might be a bit cold for me :p . I'll give you a shout a little later in the year when it's a bit warmer.

Go for it sonner than later.

We just complete 30 min and 40 min dive, water temp was 3 degrees Celsius! :D

...and you'll save yourself £100 - £200 depending on how long the new course has to be cover the extra nitrox and rescue skills.

but it's cold........

Lol, i'm in Scotland that weekend anyway but will get my DIR-F done ASAP. Need some regs first. My current ones finish on eBay in an hour.

As a local lad I guess the water temp will be about 10 degrees.. now thats not bad!

Oi Polaris did two controlled ascents from 30m with me the other weekend, both took 14 minutes....... so there, see he can do it, he just pretends otherwise.

Come on down folks the water is warm, the boat is big, the locals are friendly, and some new DNA is needed.!
