Dive 1: Hilsea Point A return to Hilsea Point on day two. The current was again running across the top of the pinnacle on descent, but conditions in the gullies were calm. The gullies rewarded a slower, more thorough look around. Anemones and nudibranchs were seen across the rock faces, and lobster were tucked into…
Dive 1: SS Rosehill The day started with a thick low seafog. Navigating out to Whitsand Bay relied on the GPS on the boat as Rame Head did not show itself beyond the change in sea conditions. The SS Rosehill, formerly the SS Minster, was a 2,788 ton armed British cargo steamship torpedoed without warning…

An elaborate plan was formed to complete three dive sites in a single day, providing a range of depths for all divers on board the club boat. Bang on the 09:30 ropes-off time, four club members departed West Bay Harbour and headed to the first dive site, Sawtooth Ledges, a reef dive within a protected…
This weekend, three of our club members joined forces with Polden Divers for a trip out of West Bay. A nice leisurely start to the day with a meet time of 09:15. After loading the boat with kit, we departed West Bay Harbour and headed in the direction of Lyme Regis to find the wreck…
Last weekend, plans to help out at an event in Cardiff unfortunately had to be cancelled due to technical issues, so a few club members decided to make the most of the free weekend with a trip down to Cornwall for some diving around Porthkerris and nearby Porthoustock.
