Ideas for UK August Bank Holiday Trimix diving

IanWood · 31st July 2006, 10:31

Hi,

I would like to go abroad for some Trimix during the UK Bank Holiday, 28 Aug for a few days.

I live in London and often dive in Devon.

I would like to be able to do some Trimix diving in a place with more guaranteed good weather as last weekend was blown out, again....

I was thinking of Malta.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a short break away?

Cheers

Ian

Hi Ian,
what about Cyprus?
Flights from Bristol/Exeter
Dive-Tek advertise on the forum.

Cheers, but isn't Cyprus a bit "busy" at the moment what with the problems in Lebanon? Also the flights seems a little pricey, £400 - £500, or are there cheaper options I have missed?

I went there round about this time last year to pick up a KISS. I flew with Helios from Luton to Larnaca, cost about £120 return.

Don't know if that helps. They were alright apart from the very hairy moment when my KISS crate was the last thing to appear on the carousel.

There's always Dorothea

Cheers,

Stuart
