Having done six practice dives at Stoney over the May Day Bank Holiday, and managing to sort out most of my diving gremlins, I was allowed the privilege to tag along the dive trip to Falmouth over the Spring Bank Holiday. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Alex Marshall and Nathan Piper who worked tirelessly and patiently … Read More
Westbay trip by Julien Segers
Westbay is one of the club’s favourite diving destinations. In my short time so far as a diver it has become one of my favourites, with a wide variety of sites at all depths, wrecks and reefs. It has the practicality of our accommodation being very close to the marina. And Westbay is a special place for me as it … Read More
Scilly Sailing and Diving
by Barny Darby It had been a few years since the great 2014 trip in which we had managed to have a yacht and the Percy in the sound of Mull, diving the Hispania, Rondo etc. Then the yachties headed off North to dive the summer isles and the scapa flow. All the divers were keen to again explore some … Read More
Diving in Jordan
(by Roberta Lenart) The idea of visiting Jordan came from a scuba diving magazine that described a trip to Aqaba on the Red Sea, the only coastal city of Jordan. It appealed to me not least as did not just talked about what’s underwater but also went into detail describing Jordan on land. I wanted to see Petra (re-discovered by … Read More
Shetland Islands – September

BBQ’d Scallops
For the May bank holiday a few of us headed down to the Dorset coast to enjoy some fine weather, and get up close with some plankton bloom…! We kicked off with a dive on the Arfon, a new site for the club (http://www.divernet.com/wreck-tours/p301720-wreck-tour:-88-the-arfon.html) which we managed to find pretty easily (near to the Aolian Sky) however sitting at … Read More

BSAC is not just a club, they are the SCUBA diving sports official governing body in the UK and they have decided that diving solo is not safe, and yet there are now several other training agencies that will train you to be self reliant on a dive and another one who will even train … Read More
Sipadan, Borneo, from Roberta
At the end of March I combined two of my great passions: traveling and scuba diving. While on a whirlwind of vacation in South East Asia I followed advice from a Malaysian scuba diver friend who insisted the best place to dive in the world was at Sipadan, off Borneo. Sipadan was formed by living corals growing on top of … Read More
Trainee Dive Leader does Plymouth
Organising and running a dive trip is very satisfying. In one way it allows you to go to areas you want to visit and put the emphasis on the dives that you want to do, but even more rewarding is knowing that you are providing an opportunity for others to share in the sport you love. As part of my … Read More
