Have you been thinking of doing a PADI open water SCUBA course? Great -I need you!

It lets you SCUBA dive in open water down to 18m - great for holidays to tropical places, or exploring Wellington's south coast.

I am trying to organise a private course with New Zealand Sea Adventures www.scubadiving.co.nz/ so that I can fit it in before I leave New Zealand in May. Annabel the Awesome (Not Annabel the Smelly who some of you may have met) is keen too.

The course is two full weekends - the 19th-20th April, then 26th-27th April. It costs $425 usually for everything provided(which is the cheapest in Wellington -as it also includes the hire of mask, fins, gloves etc which other courses don't) But it doesn't give you free diving on weekend afterward -just a discount. 

 If you have some snorkel gear already then it is cheaper -and the more people we get the cheaper will get too. Plus you will get to enjoy hanging out with other members of the tramping club
