The BSAC Big Reds Bash in Anglesey was the biggest of the BSAC Expeditions in 2006, with over 100 divers turning up to “dive with a purpose”. With it being such a great event, we had no issues at all in offering up one of our top of the range CX500 Made to Measure Drysuits, as a the main prize for the “Big Reds Bash Raffle”. 

Steve Pearson, the BSAC Big Reds Bash expedition leader, had designed the event to involve several hundred divers, diving simultaneously on wrecks off the coast of Anglesey (Wales) carrying out a marine survey of the wrecks in conjunction with the Marine Conservation Society and the Nautical Archaeological Society. All of the divers involved came from around the BSAC North West Regional Area, and consisting of Cox; Dive Marshall and several pairs of Divers.

At the evening social event, in the Big Reds Bash HQ, our CX500 Drysuit was raffled away, to raise funds for the weekends charity. It was Nick Simon, from East Mac Sac that walked away with the loot. Well not quite walked away with it, as it was made to measure, so he had a little wait for his new toy.

So why only now has this article hit the site, well its simple, Nick has now been using his suit in anger for sometime and this is what he had to say (to quote) “If you're interested in a constructive criticism of the suit, let me know.  It won't take long as it's nearly perfect !”.
