The Valentines Dip
The whole Valentines Day thing can be a bit of a drag if you’re single, with not a bar or restaurant to be found that’s not full of Star Crossed Lovers. So this year why not look for your own Soul Mate underwater love style, and join in with the Scuba + Outdoor Pursuits Centre – Valentines Dip.

As Albert and Shirley will testify, scuba diving can be a great way to meet your Soul Mate, fall in love and more importantly stay in love. In fact it must be in the bubbles, because after meeting at their local scuba diving club, many years ago, Albert and Shirley have been scuba diving and blowing bubbles together ever since.

With this great example to go by and our waterproof Cupids Bow at the ready, Tom at our Solihull Store is inviting any local singletons out there to the Scuba + Outdoor Pursuits Centre – Valentines Dip on Thursday 14^th February.

You will get the chance to go Scuba Diving for FREE, as you complete your PADI Discover Scuba Dive, and maybe just maybe you might get to meet and blow bubbles with your Soul Mate – or should that be Sole (excuse the pun) Mate ! 

Goodness Gracious Me - Quiz n Curry
If you're feeling the winter chills and you're bank account is looking a little depleted then our Doing It Stoke Scuba Club has the answer for you, with their Quiz n Curry night. The Stoke Scuba Club will be hosting this great evening at the Masons Arms in Knutton on Saturday 9th February at 8pm. The event will see plenty of Yummy Curry and Head Scratching Questions for all, with Cash prizes for the Winning Teams. Its all for fun, and the teams will be picked at random on the evening, just to keep it fair of course (well that and no one wants to be on Dave's team - He he !). With various rounds of questions on all manner of subjects, not just scuba diving, it's bound to be a great evening for all so its a members and non-members event.

If you would like more details on the Doing It Stoke Scuba Club event then give Dave a call at the Stoke shop, or simply drop in your £6.00 to the store and get your place secured. In the meantime - Get Revising !!!
