Black Hawk and British Inventor

On Saturday, 23^rd August, we completed the first part of the diving programme developed in January.

The two dives were the Black Hawk, southern section of the bows, and a drift dive across the British Inventor.

The weather was hot, without a breeze and the visibility was good.

On both sites we had shoals of bib and other larger fish.

The programme has included diving from Waverider, Skin Deep and various trips to Vobster for training and diving.

A number of our members have been completing their Ocean Diver qualification, refreshing their Sport Diver knowledge and working on their Dive Leader qualifications.
