Check out some of our recent trips!
After the logistics of social distancing had been worked out at Brixham we were keen to get off on another trip. After navigating several miles of single track roads (which were a little too narrow for one member’s van) we got down to a slightly grey site. On the surface, Read more
After the longest surface interval since many of us qualified, five UBUC members headed down to Brixham to get in the sea in a socially distant manner. Although the visibility wasn’t the best we were unphased and the time away from U.K waters had made us all appreciate the local Read more
In the morning of Saturday 25th January, three of us went on a two-and-a-half-hour drive to Swanage. I was told that we would be diving off the pier, which on this day was a fairly relaxing (but freezing!) dive. After arriving, we made all the necessary preparations for a standard Read more
On Sunday we set out early on an overcast breezy morning to venture down to Chesil Beach, to do some SD training and to see what marine life we could see! With the wind forecasts and webcams we had checked it was the best option on the table for good Read more

On Sunday, 7 UBUCsters headed down to Babbacombe bay in Devon for some autumn diving. For two of us it was our first dive in UK water and safe to say it was not the temperature or visibility of the tropics but still an amazing experience to see below the Read more
Easter PK this year was a true UK diving experience. The trip had the perfect number of people and skills on it, we had enough kit, and everything was looking set up for an amazing week of diving. There was one aspect though which held us up – the UK Read more
On Saturday, 8 UBUC-ers headed down to Charmouth to dive the Baygitano, a club favourite known for its huge shoals of fish and lots of congas. We planned on doing two dives and some boat handling practice for Jake, Emily, Ollie and myself. After an admittedly slow start, we made Read more
On Saturday we headed down to a beautifully sunny Chesil cove for a day’s diving. After securing a jammy parking space we kitted up and got going. The first dive was a combined sports diver lesson/ fun dive and we were lucky enough to see a barrel jellyfish, a catshark Read more
