The most famous divesite around Skomer Island the intact upright wreck of the Lucy is a diver’s dream. So much has been written about diving this wreck that repeating it all here would be pointless. Have a look here for the definitive tour. At 42m to the seabed and the Read more
We had fair weather for most of the weekend and the diving conditions were good. Saturday we dived the JEL and the Glen Strathallen. On the JEL the vis was around 3-6m and with the sun out made for a beautiful dive. We can confirm that despite the recent deterioration, 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
There are plenty of bits and bobs to see round Mullion Island such as bits of wreckage and cannon, but usually the game is ‘diving roulette’, where the boat handler will find around 15m on the most sheltered side of the island, drop a shot and send in the troops! Read more

Lying in 12-16m, the wreckage is well broken up, with only the boilers still intact. It is found by lining up the fourth rocky Read more
Not dived as often as the Volnay, the Victorian Steam Liner Mohegan can really only be dived at slack water. She is situated on the Manacles. She sank in autumn 1898 due to either a dodgy helmsman or a dodgy compass! Again lying between 22 and 26m, the Mohegan is Read more
The main bulk of the diving that happens on the Porthkerris trip is on Porthkerris Reef (shown above, at low tide from South Beach). It is enclosed in Porthkerris Bay, which has it’s own dive centre and café (a weighty boon for when the weather turns nasty). The reef runs Read more
