15 hardy UBUC’ers descended on Cromhall for a day of training. And wow, was it cold! We were being hit by Easterlies this weekend meaning a bitterly cold day (it started at 2 degrees and hit minus figures later on). Even better, there was light snow for most of the Read more
With freezing strong easterlies blowing, 5 UBUC’ers decided we’d head down to Hope Cove to shelter out of the wind. With clear blue skies it seemed like a beautiful day to go diving! Once we arrived at Inner Hope, we spent around an hour getting the boat and kit ready 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
