The showing of a Worlds' Greatest Shipwrecks focusing on a couple of Scapa Flow wrecks & specifically with Emily & Huskyan providing the diving platform brought back strong good memories of our previous trip in 2016 & questions of why don't we go back - so we are! Details from skipper Emily: For the 2022…

A number of us are going down to Cromhall this Sunday to check out our gear ahead of the Winter Warmer. We plan to meet at the ticket office around opening time (8:30) to sort out air etc  before moving round to either the beach or the steps depending on water level. If you'd like…

The traditional Winter Warmer is back (after taking a break last year). This time we'll be diving with SkinDeep Diving https://skindeepdiving.co.uk/bookings/ on either Skindeep or SkinDeeper for two days of underwater fun Accommodation will likely be a local B&B or the Outdoor Centre on Portaldn & we'll do a pub meal Saturday night Let me know if…

Originally planned as a quiet bimble around Brixham this has now evolved into a hard-boat trip out of Plymouth with InDeep. Well with the weather forecast like it is how could it not! Meet at the InDeep unit in the Mountbatten Centre at 8:30 for a 9:30 ropes off. This will be a 2-dive day…

With two others besides myself interested in this one its' time to pop out a formal 'Dive On!' so here it is! I understand a couple more 'attractions' have now been dropped into the water for our delight (including a giant frog) so why not give it a go? If you fancy it then please…

I mentioned I was looking to put a few hard-boat dives in the calendar ahead of getting the RHIB back in the water at Easter in an attempt to keep the dive juices flowing & have something regular to look forward to so after the Plymouth trip on the 4th here is the next one!…

  After a decidedly chilly few months I thought we'd get a little warm water diving in & hence this trip. Admittedly its not the Azores or the Red Sea but then again its warm & not terribly expensive (important in these difficult times). The plan is to do a half-and-half weeks trip: 3 days…

I've previously mentioned I was looking to put a few hard-boat dives in the calendar ahead of getting the RHIB back in the water at Easter but also interspersed with potential RHIB dives throughout the year so club members have a variety of diving to suit all tastes. These dives tend to be a little…

We’ve been going down to Porthkerris for many a year, initially using the club RHIBs & over the last 6-7 years using the incredibly efficient shuttle facilities of Porthkerris Divers ( https://porthkerris.com/ ) We've had some bad luck over the last few years with the weather so I'm hoping the 3rd time is the charm! I'm again…
