  • Weymouth – April 2015

    We had some fantastic visibility – at least 10m – on this trip. A great way to start the dive season!

  • Alien Encounters in Cornwall

    Alien Encounters in Cornwall

    This Easter 2015 we headed down to cornwall to dive the beautiful wrecks and reefs there in clear (but cold) water. Nart, Stuart, Kerrie, Chris, Steve, Alex, Nick and Ritchie dived from the beach in Porthkerris, from the hardboat Celtic Kitten and from OUUEG’s RIB ‘Seahorse’. On one dive on the Volnay we found something a bit strange – Aliens infest our marine heritage ! (more…)

    The Great Oxford Heap of Scrap Challenge

    1st January 2015: Hinksey Lake, Lake Street, Oxford, 10 am

    For years the good (and sometime bad) people of olde Oxford Towne have been disposing of their ferrous, and non ferrous waste by dumping it into the old reservoir of Hinksey Lake. Here at Oxford BSAC we regard it as a sacred duty to recover all that unique historic trash and save it from piling up so deep that the lake become a swamp. We think we’ve got rather good at recovering old scrap bicycles, motorbikes and the occasional pedalo from our lake and thus our challenge. (more…)

  • Porthkerris 2015

    Here are some photos from our joint trip to Porthkerris with the university club, OUUEG. This was an early season trip, over Easter.

  • Late autumn Weymouth

    Excellent conditions on a beautiful November day made for a worthwhile trip to the Dorset coast.

    On the day we managed to dive the wrecks of the British Inventor – mostly just twisted metal but with lots of life and often conger eels (although none spotted on this occasion). Later we dived the Black Hawk, with some divers lucky to see a thornback ray. There was even some time for some rescue training. Overall with decent visibility and pleasant water and air temperatures for the time of year it was an enjoyable day.
