UK Net divers trip to Dorset
============================

Following the sucess of the last UK 'Net' divers trip to Eastbourne, stage2
of the Lyme Bay trip is now underway.

This trip is open to all UK divers, and is an opportunity to put faces to
those 'network' divers names.

Diving
======

The plan is to dive four wrecks in Lyme bay over a two day period.  The
wrecks I am considering are:

Salsette (48m) P&O liner sunk 1917
Buccaneer (48m) Admiralty tug
Empress of India (48m) Royal Sovereign Class Battleship sunk 1913
Pomeranian (39m) CPOS Cargo liner sunk 1918
St Dunstan (32m) Dockyard Bucket Dredger sunk 1917
Moidart (39m) Collier sunk 1917/18

This list is negotiable, but I plan to do one deep wreck in the Morning, and
a shallower wreck in the afternoon.

All of the wrecks are deepish and silty.  Visibility ranges from excellent to
not so excellent, currents on all wrecks should be fairly negligible.

Dates
=====

I have booked the 'Channel Warrior' for the 15th and 16th of August of this
year (Monday and Tuesday).  This boat sails from Westbay harbour and has
access to all the main wrecks in Lyme Bay.  This trip is limited to twelve
divers, and spare bottles will have to be taken for the second dive each
day.

Costs
=====

The cost of diving will be 20 UKP per diver per day.  Air (available in
Westbay) is 2 UKP per fill.  Accomodation will be organised nearer the time.

Equipment
=========

All divers should ideally have an alternative air supply and a means of
carrying out decompression off the shot line (deco marker).

==========================================================================

For those divers who have already shown an interest in this trip, and for
any new divers interested, I am now collecting a 20 UKP deposit.  I need
to confirm the boat booking within the next fortnight.

Feel free to mail me to clarify any details of the trip.

More details of the wrecks can be found in Dive Dorset, or direct from me.


Deposits should be sent to

and you should confirm via e-mail that you are sending a deposit.

Note, that due to the nature of Lyme Bay, if the weather prevents the
diving from taking place, then there will be a full refund.  There are no
'Alternative' dive sites as there are at Weymouth.  If we can't dive what we
want to do, then we can't dive at all.
