Scuba Santas 2010 postponed until 9th January 2011

Unfortunately due to the current bad weather we are going to have to postpone the event until the 9th January 2011.

With the heavy snowfall overnight and freezing conditions for the evening of the 18th December the Met Office have released weather warnings for the South West and advised people not to drive unless necessary. We are Scuba Santas feel that in the interest of safety (in getting to/from) the event its is better to postpone the event until the weather (and more importantly safety factor) improves.

Vobster Quay will still be open however and if you wish to dive they will be happy to receive you.

The programme for Scuba Santas 2010 will remain the same but the fund raising will be extended and the prize draw will now take place after the 9th January 2011.

We hope to still see you at the event on 9th January 2011, there’s still goody bags, diving prizes, and still a world record to aim for!

Merry Christmas, Lloyd.
