North Norfolk Coast Dives
We've done some great dives on the wreck of the Rosalie at Weybourne during August - a long walk along the beach but well worth it!   
We saw lots of crabs, lobsters, plumose anenemones, bib etc. See the Whats On page for details of the next few trips and the Galleries page for the pics from the last few dives. 
 

Farne Islands Dive Trip Review

The Farnes trip was good fun again this year, with lots of seals as well as lots of other life.  We're booked in for August next year and spaces are already filling up -so please let us know if you are interested. 

  

South Coast Dive Trip Review

The South Coast dive trip in June was a huge success with calm seas and sunshine all the way. We all had a great time and dived some amazing sites and wrecks from Porthkerris to Brighton. See the Holidays page for more details.
 
 

Shark Trust donation

Thank you to everyone who has donated to The Sharks Trust through our coffee jar and the raffle at the Christmas dinner. We have raised over £300 this year for the Sharks Trust and are still going strong. The Sharks Trust does really valuable work campaigning to put an end to shark finning. The money has been sent off and is helping to support their work.
