SSAC's 2021 trip to Pembroke had finally arrived. Once again the weather was proving iffy but Tim (skipper of Eve Ann) reckoned he could find us some decent dives. So 12 of us set off for Pembroke in sunshine. We pitched our tents at South Crockett camp site and settled in for the night. We woke in the morning to - drizzle. Oh well, we'll give it a go. It was a bit depressing dropping my gloves into a puddle when getting changed, but worse things happen at sea - as they say. When we rounded St Anne's Head we met the swell and a few lost their breakfast! Still, on we went to Low Point which was wonderfully in the lee of the swell and perfect for a dive - it had even stopped raining. We had two lovely dives with a maximum depth of 20m - perfect for the Ocean Divers in our group. The second dives was down lobster alley... The visibility was not the best I have seen it, but it wasn't bad. Then it was back to Milford Haven for a lovely meal at Foam (boy were the prawns spicey!). Sunday proved to be windy as well as wet so we dived the Dakotian in the Haven for a First dive followed by a rather short and low viz dive on the Behar. The UK wreck diving rookies thought it was great! Then it was back to the campsite to pack up wet tents! In spite of the weather and iffy visibility on Sunday, we all had a really fun time. ...

Weymouth 2020 got postponed due to you know what, so this was a somewhat belated trip. We had glorious sunshine in the weeks leading up to the trip, but the forecast for the trip's weekend was not great. But off we set on Thursday envening and got our tent pitched before it got too dark. Then the rain started & the wind rose to the forecast 50 mph gusts! Needless to say we were a bit short on sleep on Thursday night after being shaken around, but we got to lie in as the diving was cancelled on Friday. Looking at the sea conditions, I would not have faniced being out in it, let alone trying to dive! So after a big fry up for bruch we took a walk around Portland Bill. By Saturday the weather had improved and we started the trip with a shallow drift. Then it was off around Portland Bill (now viewed from the sea) to dive the M2. Visibility was better than I was expecting - dark but quite clear. The dive was lovely and after some deco time we were back on board SkinDeep to find - they serve post dive hot chocolate! On Sunday we dived the Aolian Sky - a huge freighter that sank relatively recently so is more intact than most. We followed the advice and just concentrated on the superstructure and engine for our first dive - she is too big to dive everything in one go. Then we had another atmospheric reef dive to finish off the weeekend. Many thanks to Bob and Liz for organising a fun weekend. ... See MoreSee Less
