Easter Diving

First sea dives of the season at Portland. Looking forward to many more.

Going from strength to strength!

Yesterday was a great day for the club. We had a newer member complete their first dive with us, we gained a Dive Leader and we also gained an assistant open water instructor. The club is definitely going from strength to strength!

Another lovely day!

Harbour Cruise

Tenbar was taken to the harbour on Sunday for a check out after her service and to introduce some of the new members to her. We went for a cruise up to the Feeder and back taking in some of the historic sights of Bristol. Despite the hailstorms everyone enjoyed themselves. We then had to go to the pub to warm up.

Bye Bye Rain - Hello Sun!

After all the rain and wind we finally dusted off the dive kit and tested it out at Cromhall. What a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday RNLI!

190 years ago on the 3 March the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was founded in London. Since then they have saved over 140,000 lives. Many happy returns!

Fish Fight Finale - Hugh's Last Stand

Three years ago, Hugh launched the Fish Fight campaign to highlight the problems facing our global fishing industry. Now Hugh goes back to the North Sea to find out how a more sustainable future for fish and for fishermen might work. Hugh is also back on the case of politicians, supermarkets and big businesses to make sure they keep their promises. 
Tune in this Sunday, 2 March on Channel 4, for Hugh's Last Stand. 

40 years BSAC affiliated!

We have received a certificate from BSAC to confirm we have been a branch for 40 years! We actually became a club in 1967 (47 years young) but were not affiliated to BSAC until 7 years later. It's still a great excuse for celebrating 2014.

Busy Night

Last Tuesday was an exciting and busy night. We had Ocean Diver and Sports Diver training. We had new trainees join us and a couple of visitors checking us out. It was really buzzing.

Annual General Meeting

The hardy members of South Bristol Divers braved high winds and torrential rain to get to the A.G.M. last night. This was held on board the Sabrina in the docks. We got the hard work of giving reports and voting in the new committee out of the way before spending the rest of the evening arranging the dive calendar for the year and partying.
