Each year, based on input from our members, we pick a selection of dive sites from near and far to travel to and dive. After completing the Dive Leader qualification you will be able to start planning and organising your own trips too!
We mainly go diving on the South coast of England, in Cornwall, Dorset and Devon where we store our club boat, Percy. Our favourite dive bases are from Swanage, Portland, Westbay and Plymouth. We also have annual trips further affield for different types of diving with a mixture of warm diving (e.g. recent trips to Egypt, Mexico and the Maldives) and “less warm” diving (e.g. Scapa Flow, Shetlands Islands. Read more about this in our trip reports below.
We always love ideas of new places for the club to go to from any of our members, please let us know where you’d like to dive!!!!
