Brighton Cost: £47 / day for two dives Co-ordinator: Rob Hilton
Minimum Qualification Level: Open Water Dive Details: Sunday: Ropes off time 10:15a.m.
Indiana - wreck - Situated about 1 mile directly off Worthing Pier, this wreck is a hugely favourite dive for all levels of diver. Sunk in 1901 after a collision with another ship in fog, the Indiana was in the process of being towed when she gave up and sunk. Carrying a cargo of oranges and lemons, there were reports of lots of marmalade made in Worthing that year!! She was levelled soon after due to her proximity to shipping lanes, but today much of her is now visible including large ribs sticking out of the sand. Usual conditions on the Indy are 8-10 metre visibility, making it a very pleasant dive. With the presence of lots of metal plates uncovered, there are various areas where fish and crustaceans can hide. One large section has formed a tubular structure where congers often hide. In summer temperatures, you can lie on the bottom & find colonies of prawns hiding under the plates. If you are patient, you can wiggle your fingers and the prawns will come out and pick bits off your fingers! A really nice dive in good visibility and ideal for novices. Some very large bass have been seen here in summer swimming very close!
Brighton Pier - Drift - 5 - 9m depth - Skipper will drop us one side of the pier and we drift through to the other. Brighton pier offers divers, a tangled wreckage with an over head environment and lots of sea life in just 8mtrs of water. Marine life can be amazing as large shoals of fish make this safe habitat their home.Shoals of Bass can be seen in the summer & autumn months and lots of eels live in the tangled wreckage.

Briggita - wreck - A steel, screwed steamer schooner which sunk after striking a mine in December 1917 whilst on passage from Barry to Dieppe with a cargo of coal. The wreck is just over 5 miles offshore and is well broken amidships with the stern upside down and the two boilers remaining the highest point. This wreck is now the home to a number of congers, plus blennies, gobies, wrasse, lobsters, crabs and schooling fish. Depth 16ms.
Bracklesham Bay Landing craft/Fossil Beds - Wreck/drift -The landing craft is laying upside down in 10m. Experts believe the damage to one of its propellers indicates it ran backwards into its own anchor chain. The bow is relatively intact and it’s possible to swim inside the open hull. Small conger can be found occasionally and there are normally large numbers of pouting, whiting and wrasse to seen plus the occasional cuttle fish.

Scuba Santas - You know it makes sense!

 | Let's get a group together and go and support fund raising for the RNLI at this year's Scuba Santa's event in Chepstow! | From their web site:
Scuba Santas is organised by Lloyd Watkin with help from members of the UK diving forum called Yorkshire Divers. Each year around Christmas time we dress up in Santa costumes to raise money for a charity.
In 2007 we raised a few hundred pounds for the RNLI with 8 participating Santas, a Viking, a snowman, and a fairy. Last year we have at least 5 times the numbers and each day the list grows! The next event will be held at an inland dive site called National Diving and Activity Centre near Chepstow.
We will be diving in Santa outfits and, if we get the go-ahead, will be aiming to break the world record for the largest number of simultaneous scuba diving father Christmas’ at one time!
Not only is this a great advert for British scuba diving, it provides much needed funds for the volunteer life savers at Christmas, and despite the freezing temperatures puts a smile on some otherwise very grumpy people’s faces! Again this year it has been decided by members of YD to support the RNLI for all the good work they do each and every day of the year…

Portsmouth - BLOWN OUT
Location/Boat: Wight Diver Cost: £49 / day for two dives Co-ordinator: Andrew Askwith
Minimum Qualification Level: Open Water
Dive Details: Sunday: Camswan & Louis.........2 Wrecks!!! Louis lies at 18 metres (59 feet). She was torpedoed in 1918 by UC 71. A good part of her cargo has been salvaged but you can still see some brass shell cases. Camswan makes an excellent rummage dive with the sternpost standing 4 metres proud of the seabed and the steel propeller still in place behind it. She was built in 1917 and sank later the same year following a collision with the SS Polbrai. Although explosives dispersed much of the wreck in the 1920’s it is still a large site to explore with its average height 3-4m. The Camswan lies on a sand and gravel bottom and visibility is generally good. There is plenty of marine life on the wreck including conger, pollack and wrasse and some big shoals of bib. Ropes Off 10:30hrs. Please be there at least 30 mins before and ready to load. To book contact the Nigel StephensonTwo cylinders required
Divers: Nigel Stephenson, Georgi Stephenson, Ness, Rob Hilton, Nigel Chapman, Pavel Sementsov, Sanda Petakovic + 1

Malta
Cost: €160 for 6 dives over 3 days. Additional dives €27/dive. Co-ordinator: Tim Burge Minimum Qualification Level: Open Water Details:
This long weekend trip to Malta offers the chance to get four full days of fantastic warm water diving and some quality time in the sun. By flying out late on Friday evening and returning home on Wednesday, you only need three days off work to do it.
Malta and its surrounding islands have over 100 dive sites offering reef and wreck diving for everyone from Open Water to Deep and Technical diving and in September the sea should be around 25C and the sun will be shining. Even if it’s a bit windy there are plenty of sheltered dive sites suitable for everyone, so you don’t have to miss out.
Our diving base for the weekend will be ‘Divewise’ who will be looking after us while we’re there. They are an excellent and extremely friendly dive centre run by Viv and Alan, who have looked after us very well in the past. The dive centre is located in St Julians, close to lots of hotels and restaurants and within walking distance of Paceville, famous for its lively nightlife.
Diving
We will start diving on Saturday with a check dive on the Divewise house reef to make sure everything works after the travel and to sort out any last minute kit issues. Once we’re all set, we will go for another local dive later in the afternoon.
On Sunday and Monday we plan to do two dives a day with the option of a night dive on one or both days. If you take an evening flight back on Wednesday, then you can get another two dives in on Tuesday or just take some time out to explore some of Malta’s historic sites.
There are numerous diving options available, including the Blue Hole and the inland sea on Gozo, Anchor bay, the Scott Craig, The Rozi, the P29 and the Um el Faroud to mention just a few. Something I’m really looking forward to is the option of a night dive on the Faroud. You’ll need to be AOW to do this due to the depth, but there are plenty of other night dive options for those less experienced.
The exact diving schedule will be decided closer to the time and will be dependent on the weather conditions and if there are any special requests. We also have the option of splitting into different groups for the diving if anyone wants to take it easy or do something more adventurous.
Training
If you’re interested in expanding your skills while you’re there, perhaps your deep or wreck specialities or if you’re interested in moving up from OW to AOW, DiveWise can offer a full PADI training programme. Let me know if you’re interested and I can send you the details.
Travel
AirMalta and Easyjet both fly direct to Malta from London (Gatwick and Heathrow) Be aware that flight costs will go up the later you leave the booking. Divewise will arrange transfers from the airport to either your hotel or the dive centre depending on when you arrive.
Accommodation
There are lots of hotels close to the dive centre ranging from budget to luxury and you can pay anything from €30 per night for basic accommodation to €200 per night if you’d like a bit of luxury. We’ve stayed in the Alexandra Palace Hotel before. It’s very good value at around €30 per night including breakfast and is only a 5 minute walk to the dive centre.
You will need to book your own accommodation but please ask if you need any help or advice.
Cost
The core 3 days of diving (6 dives in total) will cost €160 per person with each additional dive costing €27. That includes air, single tank and weights. (Nitrox is extra) If you need to hire equipment, full kit rental is €8 per day.
Most diving in Malta is shore based. If we go somewhere that requires a boat, it will be between €10 and €20 per day depending on where we go. If you decide to do a night dive, they are €35 per dive.
Once we have a better idea of what diving we plan to do, we will be able to work out a more precise cost.

Location Portsmouth Cost: £45 / day for two dives Co-ordinator: Andrew Askwith Minimum Qualification Level: Open Water Dive Details: Sunday: We have arranged to dive on some remnants from the D-Day landings that were lost overboard : Tanks and Bulldozers and a field gun. This is a really great dive suitable for all levels of diving qualification. They lie in 16m of water on a mud, gravel sea bed. There is no ship to be seen so it is thought that they were being carried not as deck cargo on a ship but on the roadway of a whale bridge section that is very close by. As the bridge sank at one end they probably slipped off. Two cylinders will be required as the boat will be at sea all day You will either need to bring a packed lunch or there is a local Spa shop just before Langstone Harbour where you can stock up on anything you need.
