It was a weekend full of milestones for several of our divers, with some enjoying their first dives with the club, their first experience diving from a RHIB, and for one member, their first UK sea dive.
On Friday, five divers set out from West Bay to explore Sawtooth Ledges. For a couple of them, it was their first dive with the club and from a RHIB. Conditions were good, with 4–5 metres of visibility along the reef. The dive offered a varied underwater landscape, from cliff faces to forests of kelp, coral, and abundant marine life, showing that the seabed is far more than just sand and wrecks.
On Sunday, four divers headed out to the Baggy in Lyme Bay. It was the first UK sea dive for one member, and visibility was around 5 metres. During the dive, the sea picked up slightly, making a second dive unsafe, and the ride back to West Bay was a bit rough.
Despite the challenging conditions at times, it was an exciting weekend of new experiences and discoveries for all involved, highlighting the variety and beauty of UK diving.
