• Club Trip: August Bank Holiday in Plymouth

    As we’ve mentioned before one of our favourite skippers is Pete Fergus, who we book religiously every year for the Easter Beano. This year, in addition to Easter, we also made the trip down to sunny Plymouth for the August bank holiday weekend – and what an excellent decision it turned out to be!

  • Club Dive, 22 August: Duke of Buccleugh, 58m

    When Big Al’and I pitched up at Rope Walk we were met by a sheepish faced Whitby soon to be joined by a dower faced Brown. These chaps had consulted their i-Whatsits. They had been reliably informed that the forecast was shit! Nevertheless, our skipper Paul, using years of experience, common sense and a special […]

  • Club Dive, 21 August: The Ashford

    Unbelievably the dive was on!!! Shipping forecast read Dover/Wight 5 to 7’s occasionally decreasing to 4, visibility moderate to poor, Sea state occasionally rough.  The weather front across southern England also added drizzle to the day and the 7:45am ropes off wasn’t helping, to top it all Brighton and the M23 were engulfed in fog.  […]

  • Club Trip: Dieppe, 28-30 July 2010

    For this year’s midweek France trip we decided to change from the usual venue of Fecamp and give Dieppe a try. As usual we were diving from the good ship Channel Diver with Steve and Caroline, plan was to leave Eastbourne on Weds morning, dive on the way over, kip for two nights in Dieppe […]

  • Club Dive, 3 July: Unknown Wreck 56m

    The plan for this dive was to look at one of the deeper unknown wrecks out of Brighton. There are dozens of wrecks in the 50-65m range within 30 miles of the marina that have yet to be idnetified and are rarely dived. One in particular that I’d been discussing with Paul Dyer was a […]

  • Club Dive, 27 June: City of Waterford

    England were playing Germany in the last 16 of the World cup, so numbers were down (weakness was shown).  It was the warmest day of the year so far, 30C, the sea dead flat calm, and loads of space on Channel Diver. Once again the City of Waterford was our main target, although with a […]

  • Wednesday 23 June: UB-130

    This blog could also have been titled “Submarine in interesting dive shocker”. That’s right, a submarine that makes an interesting dive and doesn’t just look like a great big metal cigar… UB-130, a type UB III U-Boat

  • Club Dive, 12 June: Clodmoor

    The problem with late starts, I found, is that all the muppets come out and climb in their cars…32mph in a 60 zone is NOT right and you should be shot!!! Especially where there is no one in front of you and the road is clear and dry. As you probably guessed we had a […]

  • Monday 31 May: City of Waterford

    Three of us went out on this dive; Paul Brown, Chris Boddington and Rick Whitby. The Bank Holiday weekend had proved to be the usual damp squib and checking on XC Weather throughout the week looked like the club’s dive with Steve on the Saturday would be blown out but the weather would be dropping […]

  • Club Dive, 9 May: Mixon Hole

    10:30 meet, for 11am ropes off after an 8hour drinking spree the previous day… It sounded like an ideal day, especially as we were going to dive the Mixon Hole, one of my favourite dives (pick you depth from 6 to 28m).  After going to the wrong part of the marina at Littlehampton, I turned […]
