Bicester Divers

Accessable to all qualified diver grades with the aim of increasing the experience levels of our less qualified members as well as providing a diving trip/holiday to cater for those looking for wrecks, reefs and photo opportunity’s. The trip is open to all members of Bicester BSAC and will be opened to divers from other clubs to enhance diving experience and to make new contacts.

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.).
