Whats Diving in the Dive Centre....?

 

Just got back from a great night dive at the waterfront in Plymouth, visability ranged from 2-4m.  Loads of marine life too, apart from the usual of velvet swimming crabs, edible crabs and sea anemone also saw two sole and a 'little cuttlefish' never seen one of those at the waterfront before.  Just wish I had my camera with me!!!

Thursday evening dives are a regular thing in Plymouth too now, so give us a call if you fancy diving next week.  Meeting at 6pm at the dive centre.

Hope to see you all in the water soon.

... all the usual suspects plus a pipefish. Fairly calm at the moment however easterlies are forecast for Wednesday and Thursday ...

 

With relatively settled weather over the past few weeks, even though it has been very cold the visibility in Plymouth at the moment has been really good.  Last week we saw 4-5m from the shore and divers at around 18m on the Elk were able to see the guys above on their safety stops.  The same was true this weekend as well, with 5m at Eastern Kings this morning and around 6m on the Mewstone this afternoon.

With the visibility improving all the time next weekend should be good.  So give us a call at the centre or check out the website for what's happening.  You can even view the schedule March too!!!

Hope to see you all in the water soon!

 

....and the vis is improving, there was a reported 3-4m at Babbacombe today!

... and *no fish* !!

The rumours are true!!!  Viz at Babbacombe last night was a good 2 - 3 metres.  Those of you who have dived this month will recognise this as a significant improvement and for those of you who haven't - come on, it's getting better!!

There was lots of life on the reef last night, a very large lobster, squat lobsters, tompots, gurnards and more.  

.... still a bit cloudy but the best it has been for a month.  6 ºC !!

Dispite the poor weather and biting cold good diving is still out there. The Waterfront shore dive located on the seafront in Plymouth provided us with an unexpected six metres viz!!!! The only down side was being called insane by the passing strollers as we were getting changed on the ice covered pavement.

Despite the limited visibility diving still took place today at Longquarry and on the Perrone.  The weather forecast is varied for the next few days and we're hoping things will calm down soon.  Don't assume diving isn't taking place, ring us and see.

 

Well the conditions in this part of the world have held up remarkably well considering the recent weather!! Viz in Babbacombe was reported yesterday as 3-4m and likewais on Thursday night.

We will be trying to keep this up todate as much as possible over the winter!!
