As always, the above fees need to be paid on or before 1st January 2008. If you are not
fully paid up at this point then you are not covered to dive, use any club equipment or partake in training in the pool.
Fees will continue to be accepted after 1st January 2008. If however you pay after the 31st of March 2008 you will be obliged to pay an additional late fee of €50. This late fee is reduced to €25 for student divers.
Dive Fees
It was decided at the AGM to revise the system by which divers pay for their dives. The €10 ‘pay as you dive’ fee is no longer an option. Instead any adult member wishing to dive must pay a dive fee of €100. This fee will cover all your dives for the season. The fee must be paid before you commence diving for the season.
This fee will not apply to student divers and divers under 18. Student divers and divers under 18 years of age will continue to dive for free.
Search and Recovery
Training is happening every weekend. Any member is welcome to come along and participate in the training. The only pre-requisite is that you have to be a club diver or higher to dive. The S/R team are also changing things a bit this year with Nitrox now being used instead of Air. Contact Damien Mellet for any S/R details.
Christmas Social
The Christmas social is being organised at the moment. At the time of printing the date and venue were awaiting confirmation. A club text will be circulated and notices at the pool when these are confirmed.
