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.

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.

Exciting Encounters in Devon

The diving in Bigbury Bay started normally enough with a dive on the Persier wreck. 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.

Trainees Complete Ocean Diver Qualification

Two of the Ocean Diver trainees have completed their training and gained their qualification.
