Global
Dive Newsletter - July 2008
Welcome to the July edition of your dive club's
newsletter.
Hands up who hasn't had a cold or flu in the last
month. Nobody eh! We'll at least the shortest day
is behind us now and Spring is (almost) in the air.
Remember what your Mum says too - the best way to
avoid a cold is to stay warm (forget the bit about
eating lots of fruit and veg though, I'm convinced
that's an urban myth). And there's no better way
to stay warm than in one
of
our rental
drysuits with Fourth Element undergarments ;-).
Did I say we're now offering a drysuit option on
all courses as well? Even on Open Water.

| Dive
club meeting |
As always the last Monday evening of every month
at Global Dive shop here in Westhaven from 6pm onwards.
Dive club meetings are strictly social events -
just a BBQ and a few drinks, and chance to chat
to some fellow divers looking for dive buddies (or
dive buddies with boats). Plus of course there's
the monthly guest speaker to inspire you on to great
things diving.
This month's dive club meeting is Monday
28 July.
This month's guest
speakers
Presenting
this month at the Global Dive Club meeting, Ian
Skipworth and Pete
Mesley are going to make you drool
over their amazing photos from their trip that
was just completed to the famous
Chuuk Lagoon. Second to none for
its variety of wrecks in good visibility, warm
water and medium
depth range, Ian and Pete will present a wealth
of Information and photographic footage. Chuuk
is a once in a life time experience but most people
seem to agree, once you've been there, one must
return!

fantastic feedback from those who took part. Particular
favourites were the Broadnose Sevengill Shark and

a single shark dive in the aquarium. This is an
fantastic, unique opportunity to dive up close
