COVID-19

So, 2020 has not quite started the way we had hoped!

Under the circumstances, in addition to all diving since March being cancelled, we’ve had to postpone some try dive sessions from potential new members and will reschedule these as soon as we feel it is sensible and safe to do so.

We’ve continued social club nights on a Wednesday evening via ‘Zoom’ – and both members and guests are equally welcome – we’ve already been joined one week by a potential guest diver from Somerset. If you have not got the Zoom meeting details, contact us for details.

We hope you are all keeping safe and well. We recently held our AGM and re-elected our committee with one or two minor changes – notably welcoming John Potten as Training Officer and Sophie Turner as Social Secretary. Certainly when circumstances allow we look forward to getting back in the water and having some social events to shake off the effects of lockdown!

In the meantime, keep safe, and we look forward to seeing you in the water as soon as is safe and sensible!

Safe diving,

ECD.

Happy New Year, 2020 Dive Plan!

Posted on by

Happy New Year from all at East Cornwall Divers!

For the 2020 dive year, we are going to try something a little different, and put together an ‘advance plan’ for the neap weekends of the year.

Of course the weather will still dictate the final plan on the day, but the idea is to try and allow members to plan ahead for dates they might want to keep free, and to enable us to plan a little further ahead for some more adventurous day or weekend trips either our from our base in Torpoint, or taking the boat to launch a little further along the coast. We will also plan some trips from charter boats, for ultimate UK dive luxury!

Libby and a few others are finalising the plan with input from other club members and it will be published soon. They are looking for volunteer DMs for each of the planned weekends.

On the non-neap weekends, and weekday evenings, we’ll still run our usual local dives on a ‘best available dive’ basis, planned a few days in advance.

The plan is not set in stone so if you have any specific sites/areas you would like to dive this year, please contact Libby and we’ll find a good weekend to fit it into the plan 🙂

It’s 2020 – lets go diving!
