Just been for a walk down to Porth headland here in Newquay and after passing a huge area that has collapsed after the recent storms I looked down into the water to see a massive piece of discarded fishing net! How wrong is it to let this keep fishing long after the boat has gone! Unfortunately I wasn't able to recover it!!...........
Well after our failed attempt at a dive on Tuesday with viz being almost zero, we have decided that diving is cancelled for the next few days, once this strange weather has sorted itself out it will be all hands to the pump and off we go.....
I'm just about to finish off a Tech 40 course with David in Chepstow which will be good fun and lots of Open Water courses booking up for this early part of the season......
See you all soon and stay safe
Well after driving to Swanpool yesterday we looked at the water with enthusiasm and anticipation! How wrong we were, after kitting up doing our safety checks we headed off to the water......... The visibility was terrible and after 8 minutes we decided that a coffee was a much better idea! Ah well at least we managed to get wet...........

We sell them and heres a little review of some of the Atomic regilators....
The Best Regulators Ever Designed
How materials and passion come together for perfect dives
At Atomic we sometimes feel like a symphony conductor – bringing together exotic materials, groundbreaking design, and superior manufacturing in perfect harmony. The result is our signature line of regulators that are widely considered the finest ever designed by independent reviewers and passionate divers across the globe. So how do we do it? There are no real secrets here...we are an open book and want you to see for yourself why Atomic regulators are the finest ever to submerge. No other company has the courage or determination to put all these elements together as we have. Take a look...
“Compromise” Is A Word We Don’t Know
Titanium is uncompromising...and nobody uses it like Atomic
There is simply no better material for the ocean environment than Titanium. A Titanium regulator part could actually survive beneath the sea for centuries without a trace of corrosion. Atomic heavily invested in the people, machinery and time needed to develop new fabrication techniques at our own USA R&D facilities. If you see other companies claiming “Titanium” regulators, closely investigate. They do not employ these materials as thoroughly or effectively as Atomic Aquatics. You will see on the following pages exactly which parts in every Atomic regulator are machined from Titanium and why they excel.
Atomic wins the regulator trifecta:
natural performance – low maintenance – stunning appearance
The ultimate test of any regulator is how it breathes. Atomic Aquatics designed “natural breathing” into every regulator model, regardless of materials or price. Just because we design a regulator using different materials to achieve a lower price-point, does not mean we compromise on performance. Every review or independent test an Atomic regulator has been involved in has concluded with a top ranking. Superior performance is inherent in every Atomic model at any dive depth or breathing rate. Our use of corrosion-resistant materials also results in much lower maintenance requirements for divers. We stand behind this claim with our 2-Year/300 Dive Warranty (see details on pages 10-11). Finally, beautiful appearance is an Atomic imperative. Every time you pull your Atomic reg from its bag, you will be proud of its technologically-superb appearance...and other divers may take an envious glance. Our plating processes and machine-turned finishes produce an immediately recognizable distinction.

North coast of Cornwall covered in fog! No diving today then just time to clean the shop....... If we can find it that is
Well it's time to go see what the water is looking like after all the storms and I can say the waves and swell look to have calmed down but the viz is still terrible! We will not be in here for a little while longer, don't know about anyone else I'm starting to think I might need a scuba review at this rate.....
Well congratulations to Rachael, Michael and Clare on passing their Emergency First Response course, certificates all laminated and ready for presentation, nice one guys it was fun
Just take a look at our favorite dive site! I took this a couple of days ago I have a feeling it's going to be a very different site than anyone of us remembers.
