Pembrokeshire – Wet in West Wales
West Wales & the Pembrokeshire coast offers some of the best diving in the UK - our dive report from a trip in 2009 makes interesting reading (and not just for the diving!), hopefully things will run a little smoother this time! For info the report is here & there's another here So it's about time we went back! Current plan is to taking the RHIB and dive some of the local sites over the early May Bank Holiday weekend Accomodation…

Our second weekend of the year down in Plymouth. Current plans are looking at a long weekend of diving in the area likely hitting the usual spots but depending on weather, suggestions & enthusiasm there will also hopefully be the opportunity to try a few places we haven’t dived before or others we’ve neglected over the years so suggestions are welcome! Accomodation will either be camping or in the Mountbatten centre so we’ll need to sort out numbers fairly soon.…

We attended the South Gloucestershire Show (SGS) for the first time last year & I'm sure it was a surprise to many to not only see a SCUBA club among the cars & animals but one offering 'try dips' on-site! Not to mention a club member wandering the site in full SCUBA gear in the sunshine. We're considering attending again this year along with one of our RHIBs & a whole host of other diving related paraphernalia to spread the…

A diving weekend to mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the club wreck, the Bretagne.

A group of us went down to Porthkerris last year & were so impressed with the efficiency of the organisation responsible for the shuttle ( Porthkerris Divers) that we vowed to return & so here is proof we meant it! Plan is to stay locally (camping or B&B) & then use Porthkerris Divers to provide the shuttle service to the local dive sites (most are within 10 minutes or so) Here's a link to last years' excursion to provide a…

Find out more »Scapa 100 [proposed]
I have asked Emily (Scapa) what availability there is for 2019 - one needs to book up 2 years in advance so the actual dates could be anytime.

More details to follow
Find out more »Kinlochbervie – Scottish SCUBA!
All, Following on from my previous mail I have provisionally booked a hard boat out of Kinlochbervie for 6 days diving.

And has a large health center, Helipad etc. There’s a very well stocked spar shop in the village, pub, and a reportedly lovely restaurant a few miles out of town. Tesco…
