As of 5:30pm yesterday AUUC is the proud owner of a new boat!!! This is great news for the club and means that we will once again be able to run our own trips at a very reasonable price for our members. The success of us obtaining the new boat has come from a lot of hard work from committee members – so big thanks to everyone involved. The boat is a 7m Aquapro RIB, with a 130 HP Yamaha. The boat will be going through a series of cosmetic changes over the next few weeks to make it ready for all you diving monkeys.

But we can’t have a new boat without a new name!!! So here is your chance to leave your stamp on the boat.

COMPETITION:

Come up with a name for the new boat and be in to win one days free diving! What an awesome chance to get out on the water for free. All you need to do is email your idea for the new name to boat@akunidive.com before Friday 10th July 2009.

Some direction on what we are looking for:

The old boat’s name was “Sea Degree”. We obviously don’t want to reuse the same name because that would be boring (and because of the horrible memories the name conjures up in some members!). So perhaps some sort of play on words that is humorous and incorporates the fact that we are a University club. All ideas welcome. The shit ones will just be laughed at – at your expense!

Entries close Friday 10th July 2009.

Give it a go, and get on the water for free!!!
