Extended Range Diving
2 -4 August
1st regional ERD course! after a very long wait and hard work by local instructors, we finaly have 2 ERD instructors available. However the Maximum Instructor to Student ratio is fixed at 1:4; thus limiting the course to 8 divers maximum. Already today (December 2007) I have 6 registered participants. Unlike every other SDC I have organised, names are coming in well in advance of the event
