LET’S GO DIVING!
Ocean View Swanage Dive Weekend 22nd to 23rd July 2023
UPDATE, we now only have 1 space left! Who’s up for a spot of summer diving?
With the iconic pier dive as a must, and plenty of wreck or shore dives to do, the area around Swanage is fantastic for both new and seasoned divers. We are diving on both Saturday and Sunday, sadly coming back home on the Sunday evening.
The boat is booked for 2 dives Saturday and 2 Dives on Sunday. Max depth will be 30m.
We are scheduled to do:
Saturday
The Fleur De Lys (13m) and the Kyarra (30m)
Sunday
Aeolian Sky (30m), and then Black Hawk Bow (18m)
The cost for diving the 4 Wrecks is £150 per person
We are not arranging accommodation, just the diving.
The B&Bs and hotels are getting booked up as this is the start of the school hols.
The ropes away times are when the boat leaves the pontoon, you will need to allow kitting up time and loading time before this.
Ropes Off: On the Saturday will be at 11:15, on the Sunday it will be 07:20.
This choice allows time to travel down on the Saturday morning, but Sunday you need to be there really early, or staying locally in Swanage on Saturday night.
The boat we are using will have a lift on the rear of the boat 🙂
We have got time to do a Pier Dive in the late afternoon if wanted, or for anyone driving down on Friday ahead of the traffic, we could fit one in on Friday afternoon.
To confirm your space we would need the full £150 to be transferred to Ocean View Diving. If you drop out once confirmed, you fill the space or lose the money! Get booking your accommodation!
We are sending a member of staff, so there are 11 Boat spaces in total, but only a few remain after chats in the shop over the weekend before I could get this advert set up.
Who’s in??
