OUUEG's 2025 Easter Training trip to Portland
As a Ocean Diver trainee who’d never been on an open water dive in the UK before, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the Easter Trip to Portland. I was definitely excited to finally get into the sea and experience the British coast from below the water, but had no idea how I’d find managing the somewhat chilly temperatures and variable conditions. However, after the first day of diving, I can safely say I was absolutely loving diving in Portland!

OUUEG, Kenya and coral conservation
The Marine Conservation Project is based at A Rocha Eco Lodge and Conservation
Centre, Watamu, right on stunning white sandy beach that stretches for miles.
Benjo, founder of the project, was our guide to all things above and below the
water, and made sure we had a fabulous time. His local knowledge, so, so
valuable. The staff at the centre are amazing, welcoming and so friendly.
Fantastic food, and fresh fruit to die for. -
My first sea dives. North Norfolk
Sheringham EsplanadeDiving in the ocean for the first time was simply incredible. An entire other world exists beneath the waves that works in entirely different ways, and to be able to visit that world is breathtaking. From the colourful wildlife going about their business to the remnants of historical wrecks being reclaimed by nature. Absolutely stunning.

OUUEG Naples Trip 26th June to 3rd July 2024
Our incredible international summer trip saw us fly out to the city of Pozzuoli, just a 20-minute drive from Naples, sitting atop the super volcano Campi Flegrei. Our weeklong dive, organised by the wonderful David Brock, saw us dive with the equally wonderful guides Silvia, Ahmet, Alessandro, Ale and Marcello from Sub Centro Campi Flegrei amongst the 2000-year-old ruins of part of the Roman town of Baia, along with dives near the islands of Ischia and Procida. See more incredible under and overwater pictures of our adventures.

Count the Congers :-)
Everyone likes sea life, but not everyone likes all kinds of sea life.
Tight family of Conger CongerThese beauties are conger eels, and you can see them on many dives all around Great Britain. But seeing many of them together is not that common. Their teeth are sharp — don’t harass them, or they can bite a chunk of you off. Otherwise, aren’t they lovely? :-)
