“More muddy Cornish holes”
Today was an interesting dive into an adit, slight flow helped clear out the silt for an another diver to slip in for a peek. A snug ish entry through gooey silt but quickly opened up to a fine, well dug tunnel. Hoping this would be a fairly quick duck under to air we kept kit to a minimum and only took a 50m line. A little way to go in this one yet before hopefully coming up into an air space and definitely further exploration to do. A great find.

Mine diving.
Ok it’s not a north Cornwall U boat in 20m + viz but sometimes the lure of exploration and the itch to dive takes a different route.
This was one of those places that I had low expectations for. Previous dives hit 18m ish we were told with nothing to report, but had to see it for myself and the fine underground lake of a head pool in itself is pretty breathtaking to be fair.
A moderate walk off the beaten track takes you along the sides of a steep a steep valley, A hand line down eases you and your 35/40 kg of kit down and well into the epic hole. Adits all around ripe for a quick peek but the one that looks the least appealing leads you to a head pool of clean bluey green water that as a diver calls you in. It’s only a brief duck in and your almost standing as the tunnel leads you there.
With help from a couple of professional female volleyball ball players i got the cylinders slung and I was in, hit a rocky sloped bottom at around 14m and my heart sunk a little bit thinking that the 18m is it all………but then after only a little line fed off the spool my light picked out a lovely wide slot and like a rat up a drainpipe I was in. Drifting across at 23m ish looking down at some fine timbers with a huge space below. I tied off the line to drop into the blackness, at around 27m another level to my right and as the computer hit 36m ish another huge opening at my 10 o’clock. Why oh why did I only take 60m of line I grunted and sobbed to myself as the spool had only a few turns left 🤯. We will be back with more string and another layer or two 🥶

21st September, Petersham
The boy jumped in with me to admire the fine engine still standing proud at 38m. What a great dive and as you can see the viz was decent as well. Hopefully the season ahead is good for us all 🙏🤞

A stunning glimpse of Newquay with the flash of Trevose in the distance, can’t be to long until we are back in and under the blue.
I will take the mines of Cornwall and the caves of France for now but can’t wait to get back on our local U-boat wrecks.

We will be offering a wide range of courses, from absolute beginners to those who want to go pro and live the dream of being a scuba professional.

Your first step is Open Water Diver. This course is your gateway to another, beautiful world.

This course teaches you everything you need to dive with a buddy safely and confidently. You’ll learn how your kit works, how your body responds to diving, how we as divers care and look after our seas and much more.

Usually completed over 4 to 5 days, you’ll start in the pool, progressing to the open ocean when you’re ready.

This can be combined with the Drysuit Diver speciality for year round, truly global diving.

Be careful though, once you start it’s soooo difficult to stop!

For more information, send us a dm!

Great news and wishing you all the best, We will all be over and definitely keen to get out with you.

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.
