After an easy drive to Gatwick and rendezvous on Sunday morning, nine of us were flying to Bergen for 4 days’ diving in the beautiful Norwegian fjords.
The transfer journey whet our appetites for the amazing scenery; it took us through some incredible roads and tunnels – and we just caught the “quick” ferry to the […]
The almost 400-mile journey to Eyemouth flew by as I was on my way to my second sea diving trip following Falmouth and I was eager to get back into the water again. The sun was shining for the bank holiday weekend and the wind was in our favour with good conditions for diving.
Eyemouth is […]
As we drove down to the Lizard through the usual bank holiday traffic, I reflected that it had been about 4 years since I had last done any Easter diving. I was looking forward to the variety of sites present, although I would miss the opportunity to dive out of Lamorna Cove since the sea […]
The bank holiday weekend diving in Plymouth in my opinion represented the whole spectrum of everything that diving in the UK has to offer. As a start, a big thank you should go to Colin who managed and organised everything expertly and additional thanks should go to those towing the boats.
The Mount Batten Centre was […]
A group of us headed down to Brighton on Friday 12 August for a weekend of firsts: first time the club has used AirBnB for accommodation; first time diving with hard boat charter Defiance; first time finding ourselves 450 feet up in a futuristic glass viewing pod, enjoying bird’s eye views of Brighton and beyond.

Our cheerful group of Easter divers gathered in Cornwall on a bright sunny Friday. We stayed in the Sea Acres caravan park, in three comfortable caravans. John’s caravan was the epicentre of instructions, Colin’s had the wonderful benefit of the porridge-meistress Liz, and Neil’s kept a secret bottle of whiskey or two.
Unfortunately, British weather decided […]
We had chartered Maid Maggie II for our weekend trip and I felt that we were quite lucky to have made it to the coast as there had been rather too much wind in the run up to the weekend. In the marina on Friday night I was asked for flat, calm water, great visibility, […]
On Friday 5th June our two parties set off separately for Poole, where we boarded ferries for the first stage of our diving holiday to Sark. Seven of our party, with the Cormorant and the Tornado, on the Brittany Ferries ship “Barfleur” to Cherbourg and three of us on the Condor Ferries trimaran “Liberation” to […]
Report by Steve Merrick
Divers: Colin, Emma, Steve, Sean, Iona and Nic. (Gareth as boat handler)
The day started out lovely, with blue skies, sunshine and calm seas (Always seems to happen when Nic/Iona are along – must be French luck or bringing the weather from across the channel for us).
Dive 1 was the Lulworth banks – […]
Once again Reading BSAC set sail for a week’s diving from St Martin’s in the Scilly Isles, under the guidance of Tim Allsop on his boat Morvoren.
Various start routes from Reading were undertaken, some starting on time some a little later than planned!! This was thanks to Debbie who picking up Ian after working in […]
