Training Day Turnout

We had fifteen people attend the training day last Sunday. Four trainees were introduced to open water and lots of training exercises took place. We also gained a Dive Leader.

Advanced Diver Theory

Congratulations to one of our members on passing his Advanced Diver theory test last night. You're nearly there!

Easter Diving

The weather may not have been good for Portland but it was fine for Vobster on Saturday and fantastic for Cromhall on Monday. The diving season has definitely started!

National Diving and Activity Centre trip

The trip to the National Diving and Activity Centre was blessed with great weather although the water was a tad chilly at 7°C on the surface. Two people completed their dry suit course and another had his first dives with South Bristol Divers.

Dive Plans for 2015

We are planning lots of diving for 2015. Those that are definite are already on the calendar. Others are being added as they are confirmed. Can't wait to dust my fins off and get wet!

New Intake

Our new intake of trainees are settling nicely into the Ocean Diver course.

First dives of 2015

The first dives of the year have taken place with a visit to the NDAC where the water was a balmy 6C. Brrrrr!

More theory success

The Dive Leader trainees all passed their theory test last Tuesday. Congratulations!

Christmas Drinks

Quite a few turned out in the cold for the Christmas social. We were kept warm by all the chatting and camaraderie not forgetting the drinks!

Theory Success

Congratulations to our Sports Diver trainees who passed their theory test last night.

Chinese Meal

Those who came to the Chinese meal last night had a lovely time. However none of us were very adventurous. We stuck with the 3 course set meal and decided against the Fish Lips with Webbed Duck Feet Hotpot!

Successful Oxygen Administration Course

The Oxygen Administration Course produced five new oxygen administrators. These people are a very useful safety resource for the club. Many thanks to you all including the instructors for giving up your Saturday to achieve this.

New Sports Diver

We had a training trip to Cromhall on Sunday. Three Sports Diver trainees came along. All did well at their various exercises. One has completed his training and has been signed up as a Sports Diver. Congratulations!

Maltese Holiday

Twelve divers, three non divers and one baby went to Malta for the first week of October. 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.

A day out in Teignmouth

A day trip organised for the more experienced and dived up members of the club. We visited the Bretagne and the Geffion. Flat seas for once but terrible vis - shame.

August Bank Holiday in Falmouth

Lovely weather, interesting diving, good food and great company!

Westbay Trip

The Westbay trip was partially successful with lovely weather and a new member getting to dive with us for the first time. Unfortunately the sea was too rough for those with more delicate stomachs.

More New Divers!

Another two divers have been introduced to the joys of open water.

New Divers

Three new divers hit open water today. Welcome to the diving world!

Devon delights

A group of us spent the week end at Plymouth. The weather was good to us although the sea state stopped us diving on Sunday. However this was made up for by the great visibility for the dives on Saturday and Monday. Dived some interesting wrecks.
