We wish all of our customers a happy & safe 2008 diving season

Just to reflect on 2007 a very strange year, first with a new boat, without a steering wheel but a joy stick, It has been a pleasure to skipper her, nice to have the space and the speed, pity about the colour I here you say, well at least she can be seen.

The 2007 season was without doubt the worst weather for diving in my 27 years of running a charter boat. April started off well but the viz was atrocious, May June and July the wind and rain caused cancellation after cancellation, August was an improvement, September and October was almost a Indian Summer.

We have some new projects for 2008, first looking at some historical sites west of the bill, which we first visited in the early 1980s & and also revisiting some of the lesser dived wrecks.

The major regeneration of Weymouth and Portland has taken a significant step forward when a revised plan for the £120 million redevelopment of Weymouth’s Pavilion and Ferry Terminal site was approved, one of a number of large scale projects planned in the run up to 2012. The proposed development is aimed at helping re-profile the resort as an Olympic venue, offering a new 4* Hotel, a Marina, a Jurassic Coast visitors’ centre, a completely remodelled theatre, a new ferry terminal and a central square to be used for public events. Also a 600 berth yacht marina at the Osprey Quay on Portland is being built by Dean and Reddyhoff ready for the Olympics.
