Dive Club Evening Dives
Experience some local wrecks, drift and pier dives, there’s a lot to see out there.
The Season has started.
Please be aware of the depths of the wrecks, ensure you have the depth allowance on your training to make the dives safely. Anything below 18m will require at least your PADI Advanced certification, or equivalent from other training agencies.
We will be going out of Brighton Marina onboard the lovely and spacious Channel Diver, with skipper Steve, and Caroline. This is a lovely big boat with everything you could need, including the all important and much loved lift at the back of the boat for easy exits out of the water.
BOAT RULES
The boat goes with a minimum of 6 divers, but can carry a maximum of 12 divers.
Make sure you have your own DSMB and Reel
NO DSMB….. NO DIVE.
Please note: the ropes away time is when the boat leaves the marina, make sure you are there in plenty of time to park up and get yourself and your kit onto the boat. The tides wait for no one, if you are late, the boat will have to go without you.

BOOKING RULES
IF YOU BOOK A SPACE, YOU NEED TO TURN UP
IF YOU CANNOT MAKE IT ANY LONGER, YOU NEED TO EITHER:
FIND A REPLACEMENT DIVER
OR YOU NEED TO PAY FOR THE SPACE
TO SECURE YOUR SPACE WE WILL NEED Cash upfront, or bank transfer to the boat, this is to ensure we don’t have to cancel the whole dive if someone cannot make it but doesn’t find a replacement diver.
Please drop into the centre before hand to secure your space with the cash, or if you live too far away, call us up and we can give you the bank details.
IF YOU CANNOT GO, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FILL YOUR SPACE, WE CANNOT GIVE REFUNDS AS THE BOAT WILL HAVE HELD THE BOOKING FOR US.
Also if you dropping out means that the minimum number of divers is not 6, then the other divers would lose out, which is not fun for anyone.
The above does not apply if the weather stops the boat from going out, the skipper makes the final call, always with safety of divers being the most important factor.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THIS BEFORE RESERVING A SPACE
DROP IN or CALL US TO BOOK YOUR SPACE
