Stay in A Pub by Dave Cromack
What could be more agreeable? Out diving all day, a few judicious drinks at the bar that evening and, when everyone else has been chucked out, no further to find your bed than up a flight of stairs.
Staying In A Pub could be just the thing for UK divers planning a trip. It's a book with a CD-Rom, and it leaves nothing to chance for those of us slow on the uptake - hence the first chapter, headed What Is A Pub?
If you can get your head round that, you'll manage fine with the rest of it, which is simply a county-by-county directory of hostelries, not scored but including a rough price guide, and some brief reviews.
Editor Dave Cromack has run three Weymouth pubs in his time, the last being the Weatherbury, familiar to more than a few divers. He reckons that only about 8% of the UK's pubs provide accommodation - one per 20sq miles - so this will take you straight to the motherlode.
He lists 2200 establishments throughout the UK, which should include a reasonable choice at coastal or inland dive locations, and presumably he had a good time compiling it. There is also a useful guide to local breweries.
