After the logistics of social distancing had been worked out at Brixham we were keen to get off on another trip.<\/p>\n

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, we managed to spot a seal close to the shoreline who stayed around whilst we kitted up.<\/p>\n

Having not been to this site in a while we had gone off the knowledge that you can go in anywhere and have a good dive. This was not quite the case meaning the first few members spent 45 mins staring at sand for the entire dive seeing mostly very tiny crabs, a flat fish and not much else.<\/p>\n

Other members had better luck going over to the right-hand side of the beach which contained lots of rocks and gullies to explore. One lucky pair managed to spot a ray over this side as well as a school of bass. There was lots of juvenile bib sheltering under the rocks as well as the usual crabs and lobster. One pair got slightly scared by a strange arrangement of dead spider crabs which had some very culty vibes.<\/p>\n

Although the visibility wasn\u2019t great the day soon brightened up letting us enjoy lunch in the sunshine and leaving us all slightly burned by the end of the day.<\/p>\n
