  10 days, 10 hours, 10 minutes until Scuba Santas 2011
Hi all,

We're just 10 days away from Scuba Santas 2011 in what will be our first dive at our new site in Chepstow. We're very much looking forward to seeing how things work out at the NDAC and we're pretty sure its going to be another great event for Scuba Santas.

In this newsletter we'll be covering the event programme for the day, ways to donate, a nod to our sponsors and the big dive auction, as well as let you know about Scuba Santas 2012 (oh yes really!).

Safe diving,

Scuba Santas

Sunday 18th December 2011 from 9am,
National Diving and Activity Centre, nr. Chepstow

  Diving Prizes / Auction / Goody Bag
The auction is really hotting up with bids flying in already, that said people are being conservative at present so even if you're not attending the event there's a chance to grab an amazing christmas bargain!

Goody Bag contents....


Only registered divers are guaranteed a goody bag so register here today.

Dive Raffle

As always we're holding our dive raffle, each and everyone that registers for the event will get free entry and there will be tickets on sale on the day sold by our great RNLI volunteers. The draw will take place at the end of the day. There's a great number of prizes on the list already, the highlight being up to £1,000 worth of ski gear from Ski Alpine. We've also got free day's diving for 2 with Scimitar diving, Divesigns.com vouchers, Scuba Travel vouchers, Kevin Gurr's latest book, Fleetdive.com vouchers and much, much more to go on the list.

Dive Auction - Grab yourself a bargin!

This year we're holding a dive auction for the more expensive items. On offer are dive computers from VR Tech, PBB base layers from O'three, a Mares BCD from Simply Scuba, and a Poseidon Xstream Duration regulator set. You could grab yourself a bargain in time for christmas!

If you're not attending the event don't worry we're going to be putting up a proxy bid system on the website this weekend to allow you to put your maximum bid before event. The auction itself will then be held at the NDAC on the day.

Bid here now!
