Our new pool had hit a small snag while the main roof to the building was repaired. We are happy to announce that it was signed off last Monday and building work is due to start again in the new year! Here's a few of the ideas that we plan on implementing in the near future!

We make sure to share all of our club trips and holidays on Facebook and SSI but to put all the information in one place, here's a handy summary of the 2022 highlights.

The last few years have been very difficult for everyone for a variety of reasons, mostly obvious! Through this period, the Club tried to keep events running smoothly despite constantly changing arrangements, restrictions on numbers and so forth. So for 2022 onwards, we have decided to put more effort into making the trips run as smoothly as possible. As a consequence, we have brought in some changes the most obvious of which is the creation of trip deposits and tickets available via our online store and the division between "trips" and "holidays". Here's a quick run-through of how the system works.

The end of the covid lock-down is in sight (again!) but unlike the previous iterations, this time we have a clear roadmap with (at least partially) fixed dates! That’s the good news but how can we all take advantage of this long-awaited opportunity?! We can summarise the three steps we’d suggest to get you back in the water: Gear, Knowledge & Skills, and Planning.

To help us all pass the time during lock-down and to start looking at something other than the usual routine, Divemaster Scuba are proud to offer free Marine Ecology Specialty courses to all our club members! Those of you who aren't club members, don't fret! You won't be missed out! We are pleased to offer you the same course for a bargain price of £25 (normal course price £85). In both cases, this includes the self-study digital kit, the classroom presentation and the certification.

It was a hit last year, so we thought "why not?!". The end of a year of limited diving is upon us and now we have the vague hope that maybe next ye...

In the second in our series of short stories, our Advanced Open Water Instructor Tim tells us how his diving journey started, and what made him take the step from recreational diver to technical diver and dive professional, and why he decided to move from open circuit technical diving onto close circuit rebreather diving.

We get a lot of questions about what the Mares Horizon is, and what’s the purpose, so we are here to answer them! Here's a few of the most frequently asked questions!
