Porthkerris Trip  20/21st Sept 2025  – Yippee!

The club trip to Porthkerris in September will be a shore diving trip. It’s a great opportunity for new divers to practice and develop skills plus see fabulous marine life – octopus, octopus, and more octopus. We will probably also see cuttlefish, gurnard, crawfish, rare nudibranches, black faced blennies, very chilled out wrasse and much, much more.  
 
People can shore dive Drawna rock many times without getting bored, though Porthoustock, is nearby, and that’s another great dive. Boat dives can be booked, but these won’t be part of the official club diving.
 
Anne is happy for Sports Diver and Dive Leader training to go ahead, providing instructors are available. 

Yippee!!– our RIB is fully seaworthy, and regularly in use. If there are people around, and the weather plays ball, then it’s going out. Just how cool is that?

 

Sunday 3rd August and Sunday 7th September

Our next club dives are as above, but (weather permitting) we’re now diving every weekend. The sea temperature will be around 15C, which is great. There’s been numerous octopus sightings, and that’s a real ‘wow’ moment. It’s OK to dive in a reasonably thick wet-suit with sensible hood and gloves. If there’s not been much wind, then the underwater viz can be amazing – because the sediment has settled. If you’re certified, and fancy a dive, come and join us. Use the contact us page if you don’t get club e-mails and want an invite. Open to all qualified divers, though if you’ve not dived recently we’ll ask you to do a pool refresher session first.

NEW**.   Kit hire

From 13th June 2025 the club has altered its’ kit hire fees.

Exeter BSAC Members             £3.50 per item (up to a maximum of £21)

Non-Members                            £5.00 per item (up to a maximum of £30)

Also, because we are a busy club, members have priority on dives, so visitors are now limited to only 3 (free shore*) dives with the club. (* kit hire charges apply).

Learn to dive with BSAC.

You can have fun while learning, plus get a qualification that’s accepted all over the world. Learning to dive in the UK makes foreign diving so much easier. Learning to dive costs £351, which includes your training, one year of BSAC membership (and insurance). Use the contact form to find out more.

UK diving can be fantastic, though it can be more challenging than diving abroad. It’s still diving though, and it’s great to see life underwater.

Our club has a National Instructor, 4 Advanced Instructors, and numerous Open Water Instructors. We’ve even got an Instructor for those with disabilities, so there should be nothing to stop you from diving 🙂

Fridays at 8pm in our clubhouse

Come and have a chat and drink in our licensed bar on a Friday evening (8pm). Don’t worry if you’re a complete novice, not dived for years, or just curious to know more about diving. 

If you can swim, then come and talk to us. The underwater world can be amazing!
