SSAC gradually eases back into the water
To say it has been a slow start to year is a bit of an unerstatement! Being in landlocked Shropshire with the nearest coast in Wales has been doubly challenging. But the quarries have opened up & our members have been taking advantage of them to get some much needed practise in. I made it to Capenwray a few weeks ago & Stoney Cove last weekend. The wet weather hasn't helped - all the runoff into Stoney meant the visibility was somewhat below par.
Now that Wales is relaxing its travel restrictions, it is time to take a dip in the sea. We are looking at organising a shore dive in North Wales with one of the boats on hand to provide safey cover and taxi those who head too far out to sea back to dry land.
At the end of the month we head down to Plymouth for a long booked charter boat dive. We have all been on tenterhooks as to whether it would go ahead, after an earlier trip to Weymouth had to be cancelled, but things are looking positive. All we need is for the weather to start playing ball.
Maybe we can recover something from the diving season after all. ... See MoreSee Less
