Club Dives

Routine club dives mainly take place from south coast locations such as: Plymouth, Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Kimmeridge and Penzance. If you have joined us as a qualified diver, or have completed your training, you are then free to attend any organised club dive (space permitting).

For trainess, training dives will be organised at a local venue known by club members as 'the pond' or a sheltered seaside location such as Plymouth, Weymouth or Kimmeridge. The pond is a local reservoir and when full it is has a max. depth of 13m. It is a good sheltered water location with a gently sloping base; much of the reservoir is at 6m or less. Unfortunately there is little to see but if you are lucky you may spot a trout!

Dive Types

The club carries out a wide range of diving from wreck dives through to night dives. Many divers dive for the pleasure of experiencing the underwater realm, but there are many other hobbies to pursue. For example:

• Underwater photography
• Underwater archaeology
• Wreck exploration
• Marine ecology and conservation

There are a number of club members interested in wreck exploration, underwater still photography and video photography. What are your interests?

Dive Holidays

The club organises at least one UK and one foreign holiday per year. UK holidays are usually during July or August, for about a week. Previous holiday locations include Penzance, the Lizard, Scotland, the Scillies and Ireland.

Foreign holidays can be of one or two week duration and are often live-aboard boat diving holidays. Previous holidays have been to the Red Sea, Gozo, Borneo, the Caribbean, the Maldives and Mexico, among others. Details of planned holidays are publicised well in advance in the notice board.

Both types of holidays involve intensive and fairly adventurous diving, so do not suit unqualified divers.
