Think
Pink!
After several
years of all dive equipment being black, blue or yellow - a
few manufacturers are going PINK!
Aqualung have released the Pearl
i3, available in pink,
silver and aqua - and will be making a donation to support
breast cancer research based on the success of this BCD! Why
not match this stunning with the Mikron
Ladies regulator, also from
Aqualung.
And to finish off the pink ensemble, a pink mask and snorkel
from Typhoon!
Outdoors Show
2008
March 14th - 16th
saw Maz, Phil and Darren heading up the motorway to the NEC
and the Outdoors Show. We had a stand in the PADI Dive
Village - with one side looking right out on the Try Dive
Pool, and the other looking towards one of the big
aisles!! We collected details from lots of people
interested in diving in Devon, so hopefully we'll get some
visitors coming down this year!
Asda Development
Many people have asked us what we
know about the possible new ASDA store in Exmouth. The
short answer is 'not a lot'! As far as we know (from
the newspapers) they have been told that money spent on the
planning application 'will not be wasted' and the
development company has 15 months to come up with a suitable
set of plans! If we hear anything else, we'll keep you
posted; in the meantime, if you have a strong opinion on the
possibility of having a huge new supermarket right in the
centre of Exmouth alongside the estuary, please let the
council know, I'm sure they'd be interested!!!
New
Exmouth Life Boat Station -
Under Construction!!
The
new Lifeboat Station is currently under construction, so
thanks to everyone who helped raise money towards
it!
Cylinder
Guidelines
We would just like to
inform you of the new Cylinder Testing and filling
guidelines that have now come in due to new the Health
and Safety guidelines.
We
cannot fill cylinders without an appropriate stamp

If your
cylinder was tested in the last few days/weeks/months
and does not have the correct marks / sticker we still CANNOT fill
it. It will need to go off to our servicing company to
be tested again!
All cylinders that have been tested by us will have this
stamp - anybody who has had their cylinder serviced any
where else will need to check that you have a
valid stamp and that the cylinder was tested by a valid
centre. We have a list of IDEST centres in the shop.
Visual
Service to include Valve test: £30.00
Hydro Service to include Valve test: £40.00
The above

valve replacing there will be an extra charge of £15.00
if they can fit a Reconditioned valve and prices for new
valves will be available shortly.
If anyone has
any further questions please contact us at the shop.
