Living as we do in the Manchester area it is clear that a lot of travelling is involved and this is part of the cost of diving. Our nearest diving sites are 130 miles away and we often travel twice as far for a weekend outing.

TRY DIVES

Two swimming pool try dives are offered to all prospective members and are free at quiet times of the year.

 

COME AND JOIN US!

Pop down to see us on a Monday night for a chat. we meet every Monday between 8pm and 9pm in the Main Pool at Fit City Broughton Pool, Great Cheetham Street West, Salford M7 9DN. Then on to the nearby Conservative Club on Northumberland Street until close.

 

Mystery Dive

Posted March 11, 2010 - 21:48 by diver1

The Mystery dive is likely to be suspended until later in the year for a number of reasons (mainly money! I think for us all!after some long discussions) but watch this space I might just be able to resurrect the mystery site if flights become cheaper! We have some excellent dives already planned but it is always great when somebody suggests a new location or something completely different, so get your thinking caps on and lets see what we can find!

The Big Red Sea Trip

The ‘Best of Wrecks’ with Blue O Two

 Have you seen the Photo’s from Chris? How good are they? Suppose it’s easy when the subject matter is mighty fine.

19 Dives in six days – no mean feat for the Oldies amongst us. Early starts, late finishes & a lack of cheap alcohol made this a tiring trip but worth it.


Lots of scrap metal including the Giannis D, Carnatic, Rosalie Moller, Kingston, Thistlegorm, Dunraven, Numidia, Aida, Salem Express & El Mina with a few reefs & fishes to satisfy all tastes.

Bit of a pain though when the fish get in the way of the wreck, as happened on the Rosalie Moller.

Red sea

Just a quick entry to say many thanks to Bill for successfully arranging one of the Clubs largest outings for many years if not ever!

A week on Blue Fin setting off from Hurgarda turned out to have as much diving as those who travelled wanted! 19 dives in total and included the famous 'Brothers Islands' where the two wrecks are spectacular.

I am hoping Bill will post some photos from his fabulous camera and housing rather than the shots which look great on the underwater compacts until you view them on a computer and swiftly hit the delete key.

The diving was at times challenging with some strong currents and deeper diving for the less experienced to enjoy. all were completed safely and hopefully enjoyed by everybody.

I am sure Graham will have some observations to add once he has time.

Cheers

Nigel

Not had a chance to report on these beforehand. so here goes.

Loch Fyne, Up North

Bit of a drive is Tarbert, it seems the road by the Loch will never end, but hey ho. We managed it for last orders.

I suppose with our track record there was no chance of a new boat waiting for us; But to be fair Malcolm did phone up the week before to advise this might be the case………

Cold water diving, plenty of scallops, & crustaceans. Oh and a rummage around an underwater tip.

Few minor hitches with kit (as is the norm).

Kevin’s cuff dump (now secured with industrial strength silicon)

Evening from the grey haired one again! I think another first for a little while a mid week diving trip for two days in Pembrokeshire. Many thanks to the brave nine who made the trip and enjoyed the best Mark and Bob could offer on board Wandrin Star. As ever best laid plans of going out to dive HMS Whirlwind were thwarted by the unseasonal weather. First night in the pub started off well with a 12.00 licence for all to arrive before last orders, although some really got into their drinking!(Gary) Changed plans saw us starting with a drift dive with spectacular life and certainly the biggest crayfish I have ever seen. This was followed by an interesting wreck dive which has featured in Diver.
