Tim – ‘I love diving at Brixham breakwater beach. If a south westerly is blowing, knocking out most of the south west for diving, as it actually faces north it is invariably sheltered. You can dive with the tide in or out. The car park is conveniently adjacent to the beach. It has a lovely…

A 28 hour pilgrimage that kicked off at 4 am finally bore fruit as we settled into our beachfront accommodation at Scandi Divers in Puerto Galera after our own version of planes, trains & automobiles (1 taxi, 2 trains, 2 planes, 1 van & 1 water taxi ). Our final leg – a very bouncy…

Chris & I headed south early Friday afternoon & a relatively event-free four hours later (despite the strong winds forecast) we pulled up at the Prince of Wales pub in Newtown for opening time! We were advised to pitch in the lee of the large bank at the top of the field for shelter from…
