Looking for a way to round off your diving year? BSAC has partnered with Vobster Quay for this year’s Vobster Santas, and every BSAC member is invited – whether you’re booking as a club or bringing a buddy.
The centrepiece is the mass Santa dive at 10am, when as many festively dressed divers as possible hit the water together. Gates open at 8am with a dive brief at 9.30am, so there’s time to park, kit-up and adjust your beard. The site stays open until 4pm, so there’s no need to rush off after one dive.
You don’t need to be a Vobster member, entry is at the standard fee, and you register yourself online – Vobster sends you the rest.
It’s all in aid of two charities. The RNLI needs little introduction to members. Its volunteer crews and lifeguards provide a 24-hour search and rescue service around the coasts of the UK and Ireland, and have saved more than 142,000 lives since 1824. Help for Heroes supports veterans and their families whenever and wherever they served.
Divers are encouraged to get sponsored, and a charity raffle is drawn at 12.30pm – £1 tickets from the Vobster shop, prizes donated by well-known names in diving.
Spaces are limited, so book early. Register at vobster.com/event-vobstersantas
