South West Maritime Academy Cromhall Quarry, Cromhall, South Gloucestershire, United KingdomMarch already! Where is the year going?

Super Swanage! – postponed
Swanage Dorset, United KingdomHi All, Striking while the iron is hot (or the tide is high!) consider this an invite to come join us for a days’ diving under Swanage Pier! Perhaps that doesn’t sound too exciting but I am reliably informed this is one of the best shallow dives the south coast has to offer! Check this…
Plymouth Pilgrimage – postponed
Mountbatten - Plymouth 70 Lawrence Rd, Mount Batten, Plymouth, Devon, United KingdomWe'll be taking the club RHIB down to Plymouth to act as a beachhead for our diving in the area and kicking off the dive RHIB season proper over the Easter weekend. Plan is for a long weekend of diving in the area likely hitting the usual spots but depending on weather, suggestions & enthusiasm…
West Wales – postponed
Pembrokeshhire , United KingdomAfter a long gap we've managed to pay a visit to peerless Pembrokeshire for the last two years and we've hardly scratched the surface of what it has to offer - so we're going back! West Wales & the Pembrokeshire coast offers some of the best diving in the UK – check out our previous…
Plymouth Pottering – postponed
Mountbatten - Plymouth 70 Lawrence Rd, Mount Batten, Plymouth, Devon, United KingdomTime to make the most of the (hopefully!) improving weather and get one or even both the RHIBs wet! We’re heading down to Plymouth for the end of May bank holiday weekend. Camping/caravanning will be based at Venn Farm, Brixton (http://www.vennfarm.co.uk/campingandcaravan.htm) or make your own arrangements elsewhere if that’s not for you. Who knows where…
Whither West Bay – postponed
Portland Portland, Dorset, United KingdomPortland used to be a common haunt for the club but not so much the last few years and West Bay more so. Time to change that! Plan is to launch from West Bay & visit some of the many hundreds of wrecks on offer with accommodation either camping (at Bagwell Farm Touring Park or…
Swanage!
Swanage Dorset, United KingdomAfter our first club dive in many a while last month we are continuing the momentum & venturing out again. This time Swanage Pier is the target. Re-opened since July 4th with Covid-19 constraints in place, a cafe & public toilets as well as limited parking on the pier (& more nearby) & many reports…
Swanage Double – postponed
Swanage Dorset, United KingdomEven with the social distancing rules somewhat relaxed it will still make diving from the club RHIBs not a very viable affair & so in the interests of helping out the Dive Charter Boat operators who have been particularly hard hit by the pandemic I'd like to propose this little jaunt. Tim, Tamara & Colin…
Cromhall Capers
South West Maritime Academy Cromhall Quarry, Cromhall, South Gloucestershire, United KingdomDive on! - Cromhall - Saturday 29th-Sunday 30th August Wow!

Porthkerris!

Kinlochbervie – The Return!
Kinlochbervie , United KingdomLast year an intrepid group from our club ventured just about as far north west as you can go before you run out of Scotland to the remote village of Kinlochbervie for a week of gaelic diving. In the end the weather gods were not so kind & very strong westerlies restricted our diving somewhat…
Brixham Break
Brixham Breakwater Berry Head Road, Brixham, United KingdomAhoy buddies! If you've not managed to get your kit wet this year and fancy a chance to do so then why not join us at Brixham on Monday?

Brixham
Brixham Breakwater Berry Head Road, Brixham, United KingdomWeather and latest Covid rules permitting I'm hoping to run a shore dive at Brixham on Thursday 15th October.

Plymouth – WW20
Aquanauts 88 Vauxhall St, Plymouth, United KingdomThis trip is normally the 'closeout' for the years' diving season but that season has been sadly significantly curtailed and so the trip gains greater significance as an actual chance to go diving! We tend to schedule this trip in mid November & take what the weather gods throw at us - and they've thrown…
Cromhall cheer!
South West Maritime Academy Cromhall Quarry, Cromhall, South Gloucestershire, United Kingdom2020 has not been a good year for many things and although diving is not the most important it is clearly an outlet that helps to share enjoyment and encourage socialisation which in our enforced Covid-19 cocoons is something that we have seen increasingly less of as the months have gone by. Despite the pandemic…
