VETS are being invited to enjoy CPD combined with diving in Egyptąs Red Sea at the Society of Practising Veterinary Surgeons (SPVS) third annual Scubascene, which takes place between June 18 and 25th.



The Blue Melody

Practitioners are invited to enjoy CPD on the ocean waves aboard the luxurious five-star Blue Melody boat complete with its own restaurant, entertainment room and diving deck.

CPD will include small animal dentistry by Bob Partridge BVM&S MRCVS and the Use of Psychometric Analysis by Alan Leyland BVSc MRCVS. Delegates can also enjoy five days of reef and wreck diving time.

Course organiser SPVS President Elect Jacqui Molyneux said: łScubascene has proved an extremely popular event in the SPVS CPD calendar over the past few years with many of those attending passing their PADI Open Water certificates at both standard and advanced levels. For anyone not already holding a PADI Open Water Certificate, it should be possible to complete the PADI Open Referral Course* during the trip.

She added: łThe CPD is always diverse and informative and the week represents excellent value for money.˛

The cost is £999 for the holiday element (same as brochure price) and then £325 + VAT for the CPD element (only payable by the vets, as some delegates also come with family or friends.) The price includes flights, transfers, seven nights full board on Blue Melody, all diving, a single 12 litre diving cylinder and lead per person, marine park fees, an entry visa to Egypt and bottled water and soft drinks.

For more information and a booking form, please contact the secretariat on 01926 410454 or email office@spvs.org.uk.

* The PADI referral course means they will have completed their five theory sessions and five pool dives in the UK prior to the week then they can do their four open water dives over two days (usually the first two) to complete it.
