Scuba Shack Dive Brief 31st August

Hi All, and welcome to another edition of Scuba Shack Dive Brief.

The overseas travellors are back from their fantabulous trip to the Coolidge in Vanuatu and by all accounts a great time was had by all. For almost everyone on this trip this was their very first time to the Coolidge and what a gob smacked lot they were too! I just loved the expressions on their faces when they surfaced after their first dives on her. Dem even said "Ive died and gone to heaven! .......Gosh Dem dont do that to me! For her 15th Birthday Present Nat Clenton was given her trip to Vanuatu and after her dive she was speachless for almost 5 whole minutes!!! Believe me that is a record! We are looking at doing another drip in October 2010. But unfortunately that last trip was about as cheap as it was ever going to get. To hear all about our trip see below for more!

As we mentioned in last weeks ezine, love was certainly in the air (compressed air that is) in August as two more of our members were engaged last week too whilst on a dive. 2 engagements and a wedding! We should make a movie with a title like that!

(*NAME*) Don't forget that this Sundays boat Dives are only $35. We are putting on a whole day of it at Terrigal with the Sausage Sizzle and marquee. The first boat is already booked out so get in quick for the second boat run. What a great day to spend Fathers Day! a boat dive followed by a sausage sizzle! As usuall friends and family are welcome! Bring a chair or a blanket and BYO drinks.
