Club Dive, 4 September 2011: HMS Moldavia
7am ropes off is never what you want the conspiracy of moon sun and sea to have plotted as your Sunday morning fate, but the chance to dive the Moldavia can entice any diver to manfully walk the plank onto Channel Diver despite a force 5 on the horizon. 12 not so angry men, despite […]

Club Dive: 14 August 2011, The Pottery Wreck
This trip to the Pottery Wreck from Eastbourne turned into a brilliant day out that was enjoyed by all. A key factor was the additional interest of the Eastbourne Air Show.

Club Dive: 7th May, The Ramsgarth
Another club dive from the good ship Channel Diver skippered by Steve Johnson. A choppy sea, pouring rain and some thunder and lightening greeted us in Brighton, which is hardly the best start to a day’s diving…especially after the fantastic weather we had at Easter. Still, us Croydon BSACers are hardy sorts and strapped the […]
