Bicester Divers

The diving should be excellent in September and this trip includes HMS Scylla, the newest wreck out of Plymouth, plus an old favourite, a fantastic wreck with lots of marine life, the James Eagan Layne. We may get out a little further to a beautiful offshore reef.

Westbay is one of Bicester Dive clubs regular trips and 2007 was no exception. Huntress is an excellent boat with a super skipper. On this trip we had a mix of wreck and drift dives with quite varying dive conditions. Westbay is also a good social trip and lots of fun was had by all. A big thank you to Steve Prior for once again organising a great trip.

Lundy Island is in the Bristol Channel. There are eight wrecks with expected visibility of 8-10 metres average, but 20 metres on a good day. There are seals, which we can snorkel with between dives. There may be dolphins, sun fish, or basking shark, amongst others. Spectacular drift dives off the North side of the island. The jewel anemones are like nothing you have seen before. Bird life here is also pretty good (puffins etc.).

There are a huge variety of scenic & wreck dives off Portsmouth & the Isle of Wight. The boat "Wight Diver" has loads of deck space, a diver lift, big engine & a very pleasant skipper, Steve, who is a keen diver himself.
