Registration for Scuba Santas 2010 now closed, but don’t panic!

Registration for scuba santas 2010 may now be closed, but you can still attend! Registration is to speed up administration on the day but it is not essential, you may not receive a goody bag if you have not registered but hopefully they will be enough for everyone.

36 hours to go… 208 registered divers! WOW!

With just 36 hours to go we currently have 208 divers registered for the event. That’s an incredible number and it looks like we’ll smash our world record once again this year (even if we lose a few people to the snow!).

Don’t forget to keep donations rolling in via our justgiving page or by downloading our sponsorship form and nagging family and friends! Donating money to crew training at the RNLI is an excellent cause when these guys head at at all times of year and in all weathers to save the lives of others as volunteers!

Looking forward to seeing everyone bright (, cold,) and early on Sunday 19th December 2010 at Vobster Quay!

Merry Christmas one and all!
