Farnes Trip 2010
After narrowly missing out on the much-lauded Farnes trip in 2009 it finally came around again on the August Bank holiday, 3 days of diving with the adorable seals to look forward to. It’s a long drive north to Seahouses, but thanks to an early start on Friday we arrived in time to check out [...]
Dive Leader Weekend
We are planning a weekend of diving the slightly deeper wrecks out of Newhaven on 24th and 25th July. We will most likely dive the Ashford http://www.divernet.com/Wrecks/wreck_tours/159413/wreck_tour_65_the_ashford.html which the club dived for the first time 2 weeks ago and had some fantastic vis (8 to 10m) dives on a relatively intact 120 year old vessel in 41m of water.

RIB Diving in Newhaven
After a few weeks suffering through the annual plankton bloom on the South Coast, I am happy to report that the visibility this weekend at Newhaven was much improved, with up to ten meters on the Fortuna and the T R Thompson.
Also, with Seaking in it’s seasonal home on site, RIB diving with the club [...]
Ibiza 2010
After several setbacks: people dropping out, Jim Molyneux breaking his ankle, and it snowing in Ibiza the day before we arrived, we finally got the very early Easyjet flight from Gatwick. We were met by a very chirpy talkative character named Jeff Richardson from the Seahorse diving centre, who transferred us to a small resort [...]
Newhaven Update
This last weekend saw some significant winds on Saturday and Sunday but the flexibility created by RIB diving and having the boat in Newhaven meant that we were able to make the most of the Bank Holiday Monday. With water temperatures about 14 degrees things are looking up.
We headed out in almost flat calm seas to the [...]
Newhaven Diving
Did you know the visibility and water temperatures are improving fast? Last week we had well over 5 m visibility at 30m.
Did you know that Sea King is now stored in Newhaven making the diving even easier and the days even shorter? A full days’ diving for £15 or £20 within an hours’ drive of [...]
May Bank Holiday in Portland
The May Bank Holiday approached and with it the annual club trip, chasing away the balmy sunny weather we’d enjoyed recently with the more traditional Bank Holiday rain. This year we’d switched to the start of May and from Plymouth to Weymouth (hard boat) & Portland (RIB diving). As my first club trip I was looking [...]

The new dive season is fast approaching. The club has put together another full schedule of Rib diving this season. Newhaven is just over an hours drive away with some great wrecks within easy reach. A days diving, with 2 dives, costs between £15 – £20, so it’s really cheap too. The schedule is up [...]
