Diving at Portpean

We had the most amazing dive on Sunday just gone, we started off thinking about diving at Portgaverne near Port Isaac but after driving there we decided the viz was going to be shocking, we then thought about the South Coast and decided upon Portpean near St.Austell, the long walk from the carpark is a bit of a nightmare up and back but the dive was worth the effort, lots of small life with spider crab and even a pygmy cuttlefish and a nice greater pipe at the end.
To be honest I was blown away by the kelp forest we found at 4m, its amazing to think that we have these amazing places in Cornwall, we will definitely be diving here again and we look forward to bringing others with us, it might be an amazing place for a night dive some time, think we will be doing a club dive here before to long

Weeks diving

We had a fantastic dive yesterday at Towan Headland #Newquay, the visibility was somewhere in the region of 10-12 meters and the water was 14.5°c, yes it's starting to warm up,  lots of pollock, wrasse and spider crabs around, we have a huge amount of sea hares in the bay as well so I'm hoping that will mean a warm summer, I've not seen sea hares for a few years now.
We love the headland and the two small rocks just off the entry point are filled with an abundance of multi coloured anemones, all colours and all sizes, there are also sea squirts there as well.
Why not come for a dive with us soon and let us show you how amazing the Cornish waters can be

Towan Headland

Had a great couple of dives today with John and Beccie, so nice to find a diver that listens and takes on board the little suggestions you make.
John is with luck going to be joining us with his partner Emma for the Red Sea holiday in September, we are all looking forward to that one.
Lots of exciting things happening this year with the club, lots of evening dives, visits and much more.
We are working with Falmouth RNLI crews again this year at the Castle to Castle swim and the cross training evening in June, should be good and be nice to be able to help these guys that we all rely on so much with their training.

Ocean Reef IDC

As the only school in the Southwest from Reading to Lands End that is authorised to teach and sell the Ocean Reef Instergrated Dive Mask, we think that we have something to shout about! Ocean Reef has developed these awesome masks over years of development to bring you the wonderful masks we use today, they are not only made for the recreational dive market but also for the Technical, military and commercial market, once you have tried an Ocean Reef you will never look back.
Have you ever dived and had a cold face? Have you ever found that your mask has steamed up while you have been on a dive? Have you ever had a mask strap break? These are all things that will never happen if ou dive with an Ocean Reef mask, with the patented spider strap and roller technology your mask will stay firmly on your head and in place for the whole dive.
The patented roller technology used in the straps means that they adjust easily and first time.
With a surface air vent fitted you won't use your tank air when you are on the surface, you can keep your face warm and dry while you are surface swimming or waiting for the boat, keeping the surface vent open means you won't use your tank air but will be able to breath fresh air, unlike a snorkel there is no water able to wash over your face.

We have planned another Red Sea trip, we have chartered the M/V CU for our trip, built in 2016 she is a modern boat wih all that a diver would need, sleeping 28 guests in 14 cabins, she has a large dive deck, plenty of outside space for catching the sun, a large lounge/ salon for relaxing between dive and air conditioning in all rooms.
We have arrange for a fantastic guide who we have used before on this trip and we know that Wael will give you an unforgettable holiday.
Taking in the Northern Wrecks and Reef we will be diving the famous SS Thistlegorm, the Roselie Moller, the Carnatic , willy's reef and with luck little crack, just to name a few.
All this could be enjoyed for the small some of £1000 including flights, spaces are limited and a deposit will secure your space.
