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? :-)

Easter Trip 2024
David’s words
What can I say about ET? It was fantastic and so good to be back at Porthkerris. Even though the drive down on Good Friday was a bit of a beast! The big question though, was would the weather play fair and let us dive? Yes it would and although the surf was a challenge and the vis probably not as good as we’d like, and after being frequently tumbled, we made it safely in and out of the water most day! We launched seahorse for a successful trip to the wreck of the Volnay and even got some training done! But the weather didn’t always play fair and some evenings we were as wet on the beach as we were in the sea! Well some of us were as wet in the sea as we were on the beach! The odd leaky dry suit. The caravans at Kennack Sands were a welcome retreat. Warm, comfortable and a great place to rest, recharge and enjoy some fantastic food. Thank you to all those that fed us so brilliantly. Bellies full and beers or ciders in hand, we chilled out in the evenings as we waited for MC Clara to give us the daily report, in rap! (See below) and some tunes on the guitar from Benjo.

New Year's Day Dive
It’s not often we make The Oxford Times, but after starting the New Year with an invitational dive in Hinksey Lake we found ourselves on the front page and a great article on the inner pages.
