Zonguldak...
Welcome to 2007, we hope you enjoyed a fabulous Christmas and didn’t over exert yourselves as you saw in the New Year!
Des, Rick & Geoff were lucky enough to spend their New Years celebrations in Istanbul, Turkey, before heading to Zonguldak, (yeah we had trouble with that one too), where they have spent the last 3 weeks assessing 17 Turkish divers from their 35 metre dive vessel on the Black Sea. Having just returned into the county after what Des describes as another successful adventure. We’re sure they’ll have some great stories to share with you on their return. We’ve got a few photos at the link below to share with you;

Jervis Bay Liveaboard...
If the thought of sliding out of bed and sitting down to a lovely cooked breakfast followed by donning your dive gear & literally stepping off the back of the boat for a dive sounds inviting then Jervis Bay just might be the trip for you! Back on board for some fresh cake, a cuppa & some surface interval, then back for another dive and back just in time for lunch, could be a BBQ, nacho’s or burritos. After a leisurely lunch, an afternoon snooze or some lazing around the sundeck with a good book, then its time for an afternoon dive.
For those that want something truly spectacular a night dive is a must, and only to arrive back onboard to a lovely cooked dinner. What a way to spend a few days!
