Check out some of our recent trips!
On the weekend of the 4th/5th of November, a few of our intrepid divers headed down to Plymouth for the weekend to try and get some diving in off the boats. With unfavorable wind they just missed out on being able to get round to the wrecks and so were Read more
4 UBUC’ers braved the cold to head down to Chesil Cove for a day’s shore diving on Sunday! The sea was completely flat calm (in hindsight we should have got the boats out). Vis was about 3-5 m depending on depth, temperature around 12 degrees. We did two dives, one Read more
After sadly having to cancel the first trip due to adverse weather, 22 UBUC’ers eventually made their way up to Northumberland to once again meet ‘n greet all of the seals! Normally we only run this trip for 12 people but because of the demand we doubled it! After a Read more
Swapping (grey) seals for (leaky drysuit) seals at Vobster quay! So with Storm Brian cancelling our plans to head up to the Farnes and dive with seals this weekend, a group of us headed inland to Vobster Quay on Sunday for some quarry diving! First to hit the water were Read more
With the weather and visibility reports at a high, 4 new UBUC’ers and 2 older members headed down to Babbacombe Beach for a relaxing day of diving. After much faff the night before (sorting dive gear out), and an early morning leave from Bristol, we arrived to a pretty much Read more
14 UBUC’ers left Bristol bright and early at 6:30am on Saturday morning, only to reach Lyme Regis and discover a very choppy sea. Even the harbourmaster was warning us not to go out, so in the end after a discussion we decided to postpone diving activities until the next day. Read more
It was a surprisingly sunny morning down at Swanage, after the 2.5 hour drive from Bristol – or in Ollie’s case a 3.5 hour drive… We started the days activities with an introduction to UK diving for Rocco and Toby, some Sports diver training with Ellie, and some easy fun Read more
We dived the Baygitano, launching our boats from the beach at Charmouth. We spent what seemed like half a day trying to find the dive site, only to realise we had the wrong coordinates in the GPS (twice). We also broke a prop coming back into shore.
Chris kindly took Hana and I down to Chesil Cove to finish off our OD training. Getting into the sea, off the beach, proved to be tricky. The beach was quite step and there were few waves waiting to catch you off guard. Chris was slightly concerned with how good Read more
