They flew from all corners of the world - well Bristol, Egypt and Germany to be exact. We had a wonderful week of diving and sightseeing. We dived all three islands - Malta, Comino, and Gozo. There were scenic dives, caves and wrecks. Underwater visibility was amazing. The weather was good with sun for most of the time with a couple of terrific thunderstorms. We shall be visiting Malta again.KaryJukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01458706400184936193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446657292012066171.post-2095498083911321432014-09-07T05:04:00.000-07:002014-09-07T05:04:28.806-07:00A day out in TeignmouthA day trip organised for the more experienced and dived up members of the club.

For the second dive we decided on a shallow dive in the gullies behind Burgh Island. The wild life was amazing with masked, edible spider and swimming crabs, dog fish, various wrasse and cuttlefish. However the best was meeting a trigger fish. An unusual fish for British waters.KaryJukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01458706400184936193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446657292012066171.post-49830107735655354332014-08-11T12:49:00.001-07:002014-08-11T12:50:44.566-07:00Trainees Complete Ocean Diver QualificationTwo of the Ocean Diver trainees have completed their training and gained their qualification.KaryJukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01458706400184936193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446657292012066171.post-55181181803458118712014-07-05T08:58:00.000-07:002014-07-05T08:59:58.500-07:00Successful Torquay TripI think I can safely say that all had a great time on the recent Torquay trip.<br />
