Check out some of our recent trips!
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…

Sam and I headed down to the Tor Bay area for some shore diving. We dived Shag Rock in the morning (man, it’s a swim – 10 to 15 minutes each way), where Sam found a reasonably large dogfish and we got caught in a bit of a current as Read more…
After 8 hours of gruelling traffic, 11 UBUCers finally made their way to Seahouses, Northumberland with one sole aim – to go find seals! We started off early on Saturday, met Paul our skipper (from Farne Island Divers) at Beadnell Bay and headed off to the islands. We started seeing Read more…
