Gozo Holiday (Malta) September 2006
A group of 17 are travelling to Gozo, Malta from Saturday 2nd to Monday 11th September 2006. This is NOT an exclusive trip but open to all Club members & friends. There are also flights out of Malta on Friday 8th September for those who have to get back early.
We plan to dive with Frankie's, Gozo Dive Centre as it is run by Rudger Palm (Rudi). Rudi worked for Atlantic Divers in Lanzarote in 2005 where we dived with them in January & were well looked after. Frankie's Gozo Diving website is http://www.gozodiving.com/indexuk.htm
The total cost of the trip should be approxamitly €650 for the 9 x Days. This will include Flights, Self catering accommadation, jeep rental (betweeen 4),Full Dive cylinders & weights. Flights with Malta Air are €340. Not hard to see the value there! 
Most of the diving off Gozo is shore diving but we can take some boat dives if we wish, obviously this will cost extra. Nitrox is also available at extra cost of 2Ml (€5) per fill. Water temperature should be around 24 Degrees & Dive Sites can be seen on Frankie's Web site.
While I like to see trainees getting a chance to dive on these trips, a word of warning. If you intend travelling on this trip you will need to be dived up, ie 30 - 40 dives under your belt before September. Don't book if you are not going to be active enough to get the dives in as Instructors don't want to be limited on foreign holidays. We are also limited by Maltese laws to one trainee per qualified instructor so first come first served.
E-mail from Rudi with detail of trip can be forwarded to you by e-mail on request. I will be booking this on the 10th April so will need numbers with deposits before then. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are interested so I can give numbers. I can be contacted on lpwhelan@eircom.net or mobile 087 2726699. (preferably by e-mail)

Hello there - it's amazing what strange people you bump into when trawling through the internet! Hope those of you that went to Gozo enjoyed yourselves, it would be nice to see you back there sometime. We stayed on a few days after you left and the weather made a turn for the worse (we were drenched getting off the ferry!) so you defiantly picked a good week to visit - what with The Feast as well. (Even if Diane did want to shoot the bell ringers!) Hope you are enjoying being back in your home waters - feel free to drop me a line. Ciao, sadie x. (the chatty drunk girl from the sqaure!)
