First UK sea dive for Ocean Diver trainees
CLUBFOCUS
What sort of diving does the club do ?
Most club diving is open-circuit recreational diving at Ocean Diver and Sports Diver levels . Significant numbers of members take cameras on dives and we often try to have an extra member on early training dives to video them , either for posterity or , in some cases , to show newbies what they are doing . Some members have done the Underwater Archaeology Course at Stoney Cove and have a keen interest in diving historical wrecks . We have dived on HMS A1 , the Royal Navy ’ s first Britishdesigned submarine ( with the licensee ) out of Portsmouth .
Where else do you dive ?
Trips aimed at Ocean Divers include the wrecks of the Luis and Camswan , both at the eastern end of the Isle of Wight . More adventurous trips aimed at Sport Divers include the Aeolian Sky , Alex Van Opstal
