Cape Cruiser Update

The engine bay had a good clean out and coat of fresh paint last weekend thanks to some helpful volunteers so she is ready to receive her new engine on Thursday. The fabrication work is now almost complete but there is still electrical work to finish, hull to be painted and new instruments and hot water system to be installed.

You will see we have put a double dive up on the calendar on Saturday 28th September as we are expecting the work on Cape Cruiser and subsequent sea trials will be completed by then.

We will keep you all updated as work progresses.

Brand New Website and App Launched

Have you heard the news?

We have a fantastic new website (click here - Home) and mobile app (click here to download - New Mobile App) with Member Jungle which we are very excited to share with you!

You should have all received an email with your new username and a link to reset your password. Please check your junk email folder if you can't find it. Once you are logged into your account please ensure your emergency contact information is set up, and it is someone who is not on the boat with you if you are diving. This is very important information for our DO's and saves you having to enter it for every booking like our old system.

Within the app you will see you can update your account details, access your digital member card, book dives, chat to other members and so much more so please have a good look around.

If you are having any problems with the new system please Contact Us and we will assist you.
