Hi there!

  

So I've got good news, bad news & better news, unfortunately you dont get to choose which one you want to hear first unless you skip read!

 

So the good news is that I and 39 other lucky divers are leaving for Guinjata on the Party Bus this week, for some sun and fun!

 

The bad news is that the rest of you guys have to stay home :(

 

The better news is .... that in four weeks time we are leaving for Mos again for our fav Malongane trip, so all is not lost! So if my bad news pee'd you off, hope the better news helped!

 

Other than that the BEST news is that we are almost half way through winter though I have to say that we had one of the best Miracle Trips in a long time last weekend. Looking like a ghost town, we were almost the only divers leaving viz better than in the Red Sea. The water was reasonable (even if you did not have a drysuit), the weather was an awesome sunny, winters day and the evening was spent next to a huge fire with coals under our bums!

 

Really guys do me a favour and join us on our next Miracle trip and see it for yourself because I know all of you are muttering under your breath yeah, yeah.

 

However if you are going to be stubborn we have scheduled a lot of non diving - diving courses (if that makes any sense) so stop producing flubber on your bum by sitting in front of the TV, next to the heater, under the blanket the entire winter and join us at the club where life happens and flubber disappears. Did you know how many extra calories you burn on a cold dive... food for thought...

 

The 25th of July is our next social and we will be leaving on a liveabaord cruise to the arctic (or is it from the arctic?), anyway it's a free cruise to get you in the mood for our Red Sea trip.

 

Anyway let me not carry on, a hello from you guys would be awesome when you get this newsletter, it's flippen hard work you know!

dolphin rape
So the other day we were sitting around talking over a couple beers and Alex told us about Dolphin Rape! At first we all looked at him like he had lost some of his marbles,until he googled it on his phone.
  
So this lead to a huge discussion with a lot of laughter.
  
Here are some of the links - we are not dolphin bashing just having some fun!
