Looking for a dive & buddy, UK 18/19th April

Drmike · 3rd April 2006, 04:21

Hi,

I will have 2 days in the UK between my Stoney cove based Boris course and Red Sea trip and was wondering if there was anywhere of interest for a dive on 18th/19th April

I think 4 days at stoney will be enough so would like to go somewhere else.

Is there anywhere to go in the UK that time of year?

Any caves or mines that I could fit in with Boris? Is wreck diving not an option that time of year??

I will have transport.

If anyone has any suggestions and even better if anyone wants to join me for some dives and/or a few beers that would be great.

Cheers
Mike

Should be possible to get onto wrecks this time of year...dependant on the weather of course.

On east / south coast the vis is probably best the further Southwest you go - although the prevailing wind from SW can be an issue. Might be worth giving Rich Stephenson a call at Deep blue in Plymouth as he regularly goes out - and if there's a Mod 2/3 course going on he generally has some places spare on the boat.

Nauticat out of Brighton often does mid week trips too. Here is link to their dive page

Third option is one of the boats operating out of Portland or Weymouth. The Portland boat calendar can been seen here http://www.divedorset.com/

Hope its of help - I'm sure others also have suggestions better than mine!

Regards

Steve
