Martin who? (Feb 2006)
Martin alert as usual
Well it has finally happened, the sleeping partner has woken up.
Having spent the last 4 years in Birmingham, the sunshine of Egypt has won.
Birmingham has more canals than Venice and more trees than any other British city. But well, you know ... it's still Birmingham!
So in the New Year he's off to Egypt on a one way ticket to help out with the business. And dive like a maniac of course (nothing new there).
He's planning to go diving in Eritrea, but as they aren't too friendly with Ethiopia at the moment, it may turn into more of a bullet dodging mission!
 
The new shop (Jan 2006)
Fantasea Divers (shop will be on the left)
After a year in our shop in Masbat we are on the move.
Much as we've enjoyed our time there, we have, as Marlon Brando might say 'Been made an offer we can't refuse'. For any horse lovers out there it didn't involve a wake up call with Shergar's head in the bed ... thankfully.
We've been offered a site with Fantasea in their prime location at the Lighthouse. What can we say? We couldn't refuse!
So in the New Year we are upping sticks and setting up at Fantasea.
Don't worry, there will be no disruption to service. We will still be out and about hiring cameras to anyone who needs them. Better pictures of the new shop will be uploaded soon.
 
Pompski (Jan 2006)
Alexandre Gaydamak
Pompey have been taken over by Alexandre Gaydamak, a Russian millionaire!
Dean has now persuaded himself that Portsmouth will be a European power and challenge Chelsea for the title next year.
There's about as much chance of that as there is Spurs getting into the Champions League next season. Especially as they have now become Spurs in disguise!
Of course Martin believes Spurs are gonna qualify for the Champions League. They have both obviously been out in the sun too long and have become delusional.
 
The new website (Dec 2005)
The website has been revamped to make it cross browser compatible. It is now compatible with Firefox 1.5, Opera 8.5 and Internet Explorer 6.
It is also valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional & valid CSS. Impressive eh? See W3C validation sitefor what it all means smile
Of course Internet Explorer 7 is due out any time soon (well that's what Microsoft says ...), but will only be available for Windows XP... nice marketing ploy! So no doubt more work will be required later to get round the usual bugs!
Perhaps you'd be better off joining the band wagon and start using more secure and free web browsers like Firefox or Opera. Go to 456 BEREA St for an excellent article about this or go to our links page to download them.
456 BEREA St is also a fantastic source for very informative CSS help, the articles have helped immensely with this website.
 
A break (Nov 2005)
Dean dresses for Pompey
Dean is taking a break in the UK until the New Year.
Much as the sun and Red Sea are a real pull to everyone, Dean chose Nov/Dec to go back to Pompey.
Don't ask me, the UK, even in summer, is dodgy on the weather front, perhaps he just wants to remind himself why he's out there!
Thanks go out to Paul for looking after the business while Dean's away.
 
Travel alert (Sept 2005)
Ty goes Thai
Tyrone is off to the land of smiles to check out the white sand beaches, coral reefs and no doubt the Mai Thai at the local bars.
We all wish him luck, he and his stories will be missed in Dahab. Look out Thailand, I'm not sure they are really prepared for this larger than life character!
