We'll head out with the boat on Saturday morning, do some dives, then head to a beach, set up our tents with expectedly substantial amounts of food and booze to be absorbed, stay overnight and next morning head back to the boat with possibly some more dives if we don't suffer from a hangover... ;-) Please contact Mike Belshaw mikebelshaw@hotmail.com , if you want to be part of this event. To get an idea what the SCDC dive camps of the last years looked like, have a glance on our website gallery too and stay tuned for further up-dates... Latest Dive Schedule With the great help of Alex (again! :-) )we found another boat we can rent for club dives leaving from Sai Kung. Diving from Sai Kung with our own chartered boat again after quite a few years offers us great dive destinations including some wrecks, lots of marine life and usually shallower and less challenging dive conditions than on the South Side of Hong Kong. At the same time we also received increased requests from members to arrange Saturday dives as well due to family and other commitments on Sundays. Of course we always want to make everyone happy and consider everyone's wishes, so here you go: Saturday Sep 24th it is!!! :-) This new boat is family-friendly, so you are very welcome to bring family members or friends if they are interested. This also applies for our club dive with Island Junks ex ABC on 11th of course! Here below is the complete September schedule: Departure Date DM Boat ABC Sunday Sep 11th Mike Belshaw Island Junks mikebelshaw@hotmail.com Sai Kung Saturday Sep 24th Mike Belshaw New Boat (Tso Wo Hang) mikebelshaw@hotmail.com Tai Po Sunday Sep 25th Mark Kelly Small Boat markkelly00@gmail.com Please notify your relevant DM with your name, mobile number, number of tanks you'd like and your diver grade if you want to join any of the Dives.
