Whats Diving in the Dive Centre....?

Its that time of year when we start thinking about our Annual Halloween Fancy Dress Dive!!

The dive is on Thursday 27th October meeting at Babbacombe beach at 19:00 or at the Dive Centre by 18:30 for kit hire etc. 

As ever there will be a competition for the best fancy dress which will be voted on via our website after the event! The aim is for fancy dress that you can dive in or at least try to dive in!! Take a look here at some of the previous ideas  http://www.teigndivingcentre.co.uk/index.php?option=com_expgallery&page=show_cat&cid=16&Itemid=99999

The dive costs £5 per diver and all proceeds go to DDRC!! Tea Coffee and hot drinks will be available at the beach.

Drop us an email to let us know your coming and join in the fun!! 

Over the last couple of weeks the Diving Centre, mainly through Karel has been running an intensive Open Water Diver Course for a local film company, Realm Pictures. 

This has been a really interesting project for us to be involved in as the team at Realm Pictures  were learning new skills so they could produce a film set entirely underwater!! The Course was also required so that the Team could shoot some footage and effects in Pinewood Studios world famous U Stage. In doing this, and to keep their blog up to date they shot some great footage of their training both in the pool, kindly supplied by Sea & Sea, and also at our local Open Water training site. Check out their blog and website here http://www.theunderwaterrealm.com blog week 21!!

Take a look at The Underwater Realm site to keep up with this filming project and show your support for the project!!

I know we had a great time with the Realm Pictures Team making a conpressed course great fun for all involved from our end, especially Karel who has a bit of a starring role in the blog footage!!

We will follow the project with interest, and look forward to seeing the film!!

There are some great new products on the market these days, but how do you know if the slightly different or new products will be any good for your diving??

Well at the Centre we are now offering some products for test diving!! To date we have ScubaPro products including, SeaWing Nova fins,  A700 Regulator, Galileo Computers, X Force BCD and more!! We also have Fourth Element Arctic under suits with a full range of sizes!

As a DUI Dealer we also have DUI CF 200 and CNSE suits for test diving, a chance to find out why DUI suits are the best available! 

 

Tuesday December the 7th at TCYC will be our last club night of 2010 except of course for the Christmas party!!!

We have updated our Blog now to allow website users to comment and join in the "Blogging". You do need to be a registered user to comment on articles on the site.

Let us know your thoughts?? 

Tuesday night was our monthly club night and as ever a great turn out of over 30 people!! This months speaker was Terry Griffiths, a local diver and very keen photographer!!

 Terry has spent several years diving local sites particularly Babbacombe where he can be found for many hours regularly exploring and last night he showed us some of his amazing photo's of the bay!! I think it is fair to say that most of us didnt realise there was so much in Babbacombe bay!!

 Many thanks again to Terry and keep your eyes open in Babbacombe next time your down there!! 

Quick reminder about the Christmas Party on 17th December at 18:30 at the Pickwick as ever! Tickets on sale for £20 each. 

 

Well the conditions in this part of the world have held up remarkably well considering the recent weather!! Viz in Babbacombe was reported yesterday as 3-4m and likewais on Thursday night.

We will be trying to keep this up todate as much as possible over the winter!!

As many of you will already know there is a major concert in teignmouth on Friday and saturday night, the band Muse are coming home to perform on the Seafront!! So we will be restricted in our diving on Saturday...... however we now have some parking arrangements with Teignbridge so if you are looking to dive in the morning on saturday let us know..... we will probably sort the site to suit the divers who are coming!! Cheers Mark
