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 [...]
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 [...]
Farne Islands 2009
Tuesday 25th August 2009 and on my way to yet another Farnes, I hope I never get bored with it up there. Early start to miss M25 rush hour and then get up the A1M as quick as possible. We are going up 4 days early before the diving starts for a holiday and to [...]

On Britvic, we had Sarah and Gren Hamlyn, Dave [...]

Around the Reefs in Eighteen Dives

Your best dive so far?
The Thistlegorm (Red Sea). Thesis, Radas, (Oban) Zenobia (Cyprus) or may be the old Scapa Flow favourites Karsruhe, Tabarka, Kron Prinz Willhelm. Or something closer to home such as the Scylla or even The James Egan Lane (Plymouth). All wonderful but reasonably costly to do. Well here’s a cracker for £25.00!
Last weekend we dived the [...]
All Wight Diving
On Friday 8th May 13 of us (unlucky for some) headed off to Lymington for our first UK dive weekend of the season. Half the group stayed with Cynthia Doherty and her husband, Roy, in their beautiful home. The other half stayed almost next door at Haven Hurst House B&B, also a lovely house – [...]
