The Fins Shop
01772 788032 |
You can usually meet many of
the shop and club members at the Withy Trees on Saturday afternoons from
around 4.30pm.
Social Events
have a red background, Club Trips have a dark blue background and in
between are the Club Monthly Dives with a yellow date and for reference the
shop events are also included in orange.
Have a look
below
if you want to organise a dive and want to avoid anything already booked.
We'll try and keep it up to date.
If you are organising a dive email
club@fins.org.uk
and the whole club will be told about it.
Several trips
have already been organized for 2010, many thanks to those who take the time
to arrange these trips on behalf of the club. As these trips are charged at
cost with no profit, a non-refundable deposit is required (to cover cost of
boat charter) and you will have to leave your names in the dairy at the
shop. The way it works is the first people to pay go on the trip so there
should be no names “penciled in”.
There is now
another way of finding out about Fins Club dives. Get onto Facebook and sign
up to membership of FINS SUB AQUA CLUB. All the events are listed on there.
The shop also has a Facebook group called FINS.

Weekend Camping and Diving, St

From this tiny,
ancient and picturesque harbour on the east coast of the Scottish Borders,

everyone can see the amazing geology, exciting history and wonderful
wildlife and birds to be found along this spectacular coastline.
More details will
follow as the time get closer however shore diving from and

on the campsite. There is only one campsite and, when we last asked, they
had 12 pitches remaining for the Easter weekend (2nd, 3rd and 4th April
2010). The idea is you 'phone them and book your own pitch, turn up and dive
if you want to. It really is that easy. You need to let us know you are
turning up by adding your name to the events diary in the shop. Campsite is
Crosslaw caravan park (www.crosslaw.co.uk)

This is one of the clubs more popular trips so
get your name and deposit into the shop early. Details will be available

Familiar to most of us, again using the same boats as the shop Oban trips
and visiting many of the same dive sites, but with the opportunity to head
further up the sound of Mull towards Tobermory (Balamory for those with
young children).
Situated in the small village of Lochaline, 44 miles west of Fort William
on the West Coast of Scotland. With easy access to the clear waters of the
Sound, which boasts some of Britain's best-known wreck dives, in addition to
an abundance of drift, shallow, scenic, and shore dive sites. There is
access to some of the most beautiful and tranquil scenery in Scotland, with
an abundance of local wildlife.
