The final trip of the year was a two-week diving/sightseeing holiday in Jordan.

Besides visits to Petra, the Dead Sea and Wadi Rum, members dived in the Gulf of Aqaba, where wrecks included the Cedar Pride, scuttled in 1985 on direction of King Hussein and the then Prince Abdullah as a haven for sea life, and reefs included Kiwi, Rainbow and the "seven sisters" where many exotic fish were photographed.

The 2005 dive calendar is currently being drawn up.

The club meets at Stourport Leisure Centre every Sunday afternoon between 3pm and 5pm. New scuba diving courses for 12 years to adult, and snorkeling courses for eight to 12-year-olds, will be starting in a few weeks time.
