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.

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