Tried a couple of operators but Desert Sea Divers where top quality and value for money, 2 deck dive boat, 3 dives tanks and weights and as much food and drink (non alcoholic) as you can drink.

Standing at the side of the pool, our hero Bandit looked on as the trainees were put through their paces by Nick, Gill, Tom and Paul.

Had a fabulous night dive in the Delph. Just 7 of us in the water, clear as clear could be. A very enjoyable dive!! For Richie and Shaun, it was a first and for all of us it was a gentle relaxing dive in visibilty of at least 10 m, possibly more. We went down to the back of the boat and right underneath the bow to f...

I stood on the deck of Scimitar, gazing out to sea, as the hull of the boat skippied over the waves. In the distance, a point too far to see was a bouy, under that bouy the Van Opstel at 30 meters, a wreck torpedoed by those pesky Germans in the second worl war. All too soon Rob and I kitted up, did our checks and...

John and I were at Dorothea yesterday with AOW students, Mark and Greg plus Ben who was along for fun. We saw an absolutely massive golden Carp.

Most, if not everybody, has heard the infamous yet sad story about the puppy in Egypt. And the subsequent upsetting tale about the caterpillar at the Delph.
