North Coast Diving

21/12/2024

A look back at some of the great diving just on our doorstep.
More of this for the season ahead and quite a few unknowns to look at along the way.

The dive season kicks off for us with a trip to France. The Lot region offers some iconic cave diving that will wet the whistle just before the boat goes back in. We already have some great plans for the season ahead and have made the necessary sacrifices to Poseidon. I now only have 2 boys and 1 dog but have kept the better ones.

Wishing you all a happy Christmas and a very happy new year. See you all on the other side for what I hope will be a dive season to remember.

One of North Coast Divers favorite wrecks, the U1021! Slightly nautical conditions on the 1021 trip out today but the visibility did not disappoint below . 2...

I want to go diving!!.
A check on boat this morning and a peek over the wall at the white water.
Not ideal for any Watersports but still stunning to see it from the safety of the quay.

When it looks like this I’m glad our boat is out of the water.
We are full swing into some big updates and improvements ready for calmer seas ahead.
Stay safe everyone and as awesome as our stunning coastline is and it certainly will be at 5/6am enjoy from a safe distance.

It’s been another rollercoaster of a year for the dive industry with challenging weather conditions and footfall down.

We have some great trips planned, France, scillys, Lundy along with some of our awesome local wrecks.

Birthday celebrations out on the water could be the new thing.

A few screen grabs from today’s dive does not really do this wreck justice. The lightning and heavy rain passed and made for a perfect day on and under the water.

50°25,087'N / 05°17,796'W
SS Petersham sunk 5th May 1918 in collision with Spanish steamer SERRA off Trevose Head on passage Bilbao for Glasgow with iron ore.

A great day out in stunning conditions for the boys 15th birthday. Thanks to everyone that made it an awesome day. Especially Steve Read who cut his dive short for me and Fin to get in and then went back in to save the snagged shot. A great wreck with stunning viz and brimming with life. Loads of crawfish using the boiler tubes as pre made nursery’s. This is a wreck that needs a few dives to fully get the lay of it. The engine is a true sight sitting high and proud of the wreck with the big boilers either side. With a moderate depth of 38m you get a decent run time which is definitely needed on a wreck of this size.

A great 4 days diving with chester_sub_aqua_club checking out some of the North coast wrecks. Finished off today with a local wreck of the Siracusa in fine conditions.

“U683”
Another great day out with good friends and more of the 11th flotilla.
Itching to get in myself so hoping they won’t be racking up to much deco on this 55m dive 🙏.
The weather has held out so much better than expected today but the forecast is not looking quite so good for tomorrow.

Saturday 7th, Ro 10 ish tbc, 60m.
With the weather looking peachy for at least Saturday the primary plan is the Ezra with Obdam 50m in reserve if the weather does not hold.
Both great wrecks with loads to see.

Ezra Weston On August 8th 1944, the U.S. freighter Ezra Weston, in convoy EBC 66, is torpedoed by the German submarine U-667 while en route to Falmouth, England, from Avonmouth and abandoned.

Obdam HMS was built in 1889 as a Passenger Ship of 3,657 tons. She was commandeered as a troopship in the WW1.
Now laying 5nm west of Newquay in 47m.

“U400 “
What a stunning dive in fantastic conditions. Epic viz at 55m and flat calm surface conditions made this dive pretty special.
No fancy lights needed for the GoPro to pick out the features of this wreck.
Great chance to test out the deco bar as well.
