You can’t possibly get blown out in the Red Sea, right? Yes, a slight exaggeration – we didn’t miss any dives, but the itinerary had to be altered to account for the strong winds. The trip started in the Marriott hotel in Hurghada (some making use of an extra days’ annual leave to relax before …
On a beautiful warm weekend in June, 11 of us went to Swanage for a weekend diving on Femti, our club RHIB. We dived the Valentine Tanks and Kyarra, did a drift at Old Harry Rocks and of course some Pier diving. One of our Sports Diver trainees also signed off their assistant dive manager …
Five Putney BSAC divers ventured to the “White Island” of Ibiza in May, known for hippy culture in the 60s and raves in the 90s and beyond. Despite some jocular comments at the HYC that “larging it at Pasha” can not be logged as a dive, there is also some excellent underwater activity to be …
Over the bank holiday weekend, nine members of Putney BSAC headed over to the Isle of Wight to dive the wrecks in the Sandown Bay conservation area. Following some trial runs, the trip was the first major outing for our club RHIB, Femti. On Saturday, Femti was loaded up with seven divers and ably crewed …
Great day at Vobster @ the charity Santa dive for RNLI and Dorset Air Ambulance – massive success, very relaxed dive, lot of fun and all for a good cause in Xmasy snowy day. Divers: Michal, Andrew, Jack and Henry!

For anyone who hasn’t been to Malta before, being an old British territory, it all seems very familiar but with air temperatures …
When Tim Watson organised a trip to St Abbs, I thought it would be perfect to add the Farnes on to the end of trip as we have travelled so far and the Farnes only being about 40 minutes away from St Abbs in Scotland. So, with accommodation and the boat booked with Sovereign Diving, …
It’s been five years since Putney BSAC last visited St Abbs, a quiet harbour village in the Scottish Borders. As a club we have been there many times before but this was an opportunity for a new generation of club members to dive at one of the best scenic diving sites in the country. It’s …
Scapa flow is easily one of my favourite dive destinations. I’ve been banging on about organising a PSAC trip since my first visit in the centenary year of the scuttling of the German High Seas fleet back in 2019. The trip went in at our dive planning meeting back in 2020, leaving plenty time for …
As a joint trip of scuba diving and hiking, four of us headed up to the Lake District for a long weekend of activities. On Saturday we made an early start and set off to Orrest Head for an easy walk up to a view point over Lake Windermere. We continued on to Ingleton Waterfalls …
