Deep diving in the Kaatiala open pit mine

We were pleasantly surprised with nice weather today. We've had sun, rain and wind :)

On today's fourth dive we started off in the deep end of the mine and decended directly to the old diving bell at 25m. After a brief visit and some funny talk inside we moved to the "airplane" and after some photos we started our ascent. 3 minute safety stop at the 5m buoy and then out of the water.

Great dives today, hope we have this good visibility (8+ m) next time..

Diving in the Red Sea

We are planning a 1-week diving trip to, most likely, the Red Sea around March 2012 ( off-season, quite affordable ).

Please let me know if you're interested in participating, iteneraries and schedules are still undecided and prices will be informed once we know how many people are going.

Welcome to Basware Scuba Club

Hello!

I'm happy you've shown interest in our new recreational club, the Basware Scuba Club.

Our goal will be to introduce as many new people to scuba diving as possible, dive together and learn more about scuba diving. Note that we're not limited to Espoo or even Finland, _everyone_ are welcome to join!



Right now there's one member, me, and I am in the process of certifying myself as a PADI Divemaster. This means I will be able to conduct PADI Discover Scuba Diving events in a pool environment. Until then we have a good PADI Instructor contact who can handle these events until we can do it in-house.

You're all free to join the club, it doesn't cost you anything and we'll work on getting normal Basware recreational grants and arrange discover scuba diving events for our members and go diving together.

Drop me a mail at scuba@basware.com if you're interested.

Yours,

John Tackman
