Back into the sea within the same week due to fairly good vis and calm conditions. Upon arriving and seeing the stunningly flat water in the bay, we were all very excited for our upcoming dives. In two waves (with the drysuit divers being able to stay under for close Read more
After a few trips in a row with some questionable visibility, we finally encountered vis over a meter with a weekend bimble at Chesil. With lovely sunny conditions above the water and 6m of vis under, we all had a lovely day, complete with some great tunes and questionable dance Read more

After a long but karaoke fuelled drive up north, we all arrived to a warm cosy bunkhouse late on Friday evening. Saturday started with a morning bimble round the idyllic Lindisfarne island and explore of 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
