Club Calendar.
Our diving expeditions have taken our members all over the world - from Egypt to Malta, Norway, Cuba and Canada to name just a few.
In the UK, members have dived all around the coastline from Scapa Flow in the Orkneys, down the east coast and on many wrecks and reefs along the English Channel.
Our members have a wide range of diving interests including marine biology, marine archaeology, photography and technical diving with mixed gases.
Our Diving Officer works hard to ensure that we offer a range of different opportunities for all of our members; she also welcomes new suggestions or offers of help to organise trips.
Forthcoming events can be found below, although the times for dive trips are indicative, subject to confirmation by the Dive Officer or trip organiser.
Members are encouraged to check the list regularly as new activities are frequently added.
