Steve Cain is continuing to update the website but is asking for more reports/pics/events news. Subsidized Diving – the policy we will follow is that the club will set up dive days, and when they are busy enough to go ahead, we will then decide whether to subsidize a particular day. Ben Horton will be working in California next year and there may be an opportunity to dive the Pacific for very reasonable cost. More news on this as it evolves.
