Welcome to our newcomers tonight - Suzanna, Mike and Andreas. Congratulations to Gavin and Simon, for completing the pool modules of their AIDA ** course. Congratulations also go to everyone else - Lucia, Livvy, Irvine, Ben, Gary, Toby, Matt, Steve and Mark - for coping with the cramped conditions.

If I have missed anyone off the list, please accept my apologies - with 14 of us, only half of whom are regulars, it isn't always easy keeping track!

Apneists tonight were Alison, David, Livvy, Lucia, Simon, James, Gary, Ben and Mark. No takers for static! Mainly dynamic with a bit of rescue scenarios thrown in.

Congratulations to Alison and David, who have now completed the pool modules of their AIDA */** course.

And a big apology to the lifeguard who went into VT after my over-realistic simulated BO.

Good to see everyone in good spirits, despite the squash into one lane. ( Unfortunately this is now going to be ongoing, unless I can come up with a radical solution. We will discuss this next week. )

Welcome to David and Alison, who both made a good start with their AIDA course, which Livvy instructed. Lucia and Mark provided the occasional demonstration. Meanwhile in the dynamic lane, we had Simon, Gary, Ben, James and Jody all taking part in a fin testing session.

Firstly, apologies to everyone for the disruption last night with our lanes reduced down to one. Our deal with the Scuba club is that anything they are doing takes precedence, and we have to fit in around that - last night they had a lot of people there and needed more room.

Good to see everyone though, after our break. Livvy, Lucia, Gary, James and Mark took a walk on the dark side, venturing into Scuba territory to do statics, while Simon, Ben and Alex enjoyed life in the last lane with their dynamic training.
