Day 1 - Travel Day
So everyone met up at East Midlands Airport, ready for a weeks diving in Fuerteventura.  All checked in and through security with no issues - usually at this point we get stopped because the person(s) on X-ray do not recognise the shapes of Regulators, so as a trial we opened them up and hey presto, we were not stopped.  Yay!

The extra posh body scanning machine well that was a different story as one of the group managed to 'break' theirs and before you say anything it was not Rach P!!!!
After a good flight, met by Ollie from Deep Blue Diving for the short transfer and check in to our hotel for the week, the Barcelo Castillo Beach Resort

Day 2
Today consisted of two dives... the first on the House Reef - Mole (no not the furry type).  This was a nice little shake down dive to break everyone in gently with the possibility of ....seahorses.... yeah right.... still to be found but none the less a nice little dive with the fishes and a large school of baby barracuda

Dive 2 - Antifeatro, now this was a little more interesting!  A rather choppy trip out on the rib to the dive site but we did see a turtle on the surface.  Rolled in and everyone gathered at the bottom of the line.  Lots to see - Moral eel, mackerel, nice little swim through the chimney... stalked by bream... trumpet fish found ... a lovely site.
The boarding back onto the boat wasn't quite so smooth for some and the trip back well... what goes on tour stays on tour... and up to the individuals to tell you if they want you to know... but apparently the boat had to be well cleaned....

September Scuba Diver Magazine is now available for collection in store.

Just a quick reminder that Richard from Mares will be onsite from 5pm and at the pool tonight with various Mares Diving and FreeDiving Equipment for you to try, so come and join in.... session is FREE

If you are running an activity week or would Dive Rutland to provide a Try Dive Experience for your group, then please contact us to discuss.

After two days of enjoyable and pretty shore diving at St.Brides Haven, with our Juniors, it was time for two days boat diving with Dive Pembrokeshire on Predator.

Day 1:
So we were all loaded and ready for ropes off at 09:00.  Dive one after a very long journey (2 hours) we found ourselves at our first dive site - Hen and Chicks.

A very pretty site with lots of nooks and crannies... and lots to see, you just needed to look... spider crabs, hermit crabs, lobsters, nudibranch, pollack, prawns and anemones - amazing site.

Day2: Back again for another day on Predator.  This time our first dive was Greek wreck at St.Ann's head.  There was a wreck but it was scattered over quite a large area and you could see why it crashed as it was a very rocky area.  So lots of metal to have a look at and even some brass! but also lots of life to see to all surrounded by Kelp.  

Another great trip, so thanks to Alan, Charlie, Monika, Rachel, Sam and our guest club member Kenny for being a great dive team and then to our support team Mark and Tracy Adcock whose help is always greatly appreciated -but they do eat a lot of ice-cream and ours always seems to have melted by the time we get back!

And lets not forget Dive Pembrokeshire whose skipper (Len) and crew (Dave) and Sue (backroom) who made the whole experience....
