Massive congratulations to our DBS members Ailie and Alex who got engaged and will be getting married next year 🥳❤️✨️

We couldn't be more happy for those 2 🥰

Alex proposed to Ailie on a beach in the Bahamas earlier this year (after originally planning to propose on a shark dive but then remembered just in time they were told to keep their arms close to their bodies...).

After Ailie said yes, Alex then considered planning a Loch Long underwater ceremony (on the platform🤔?), a thought that was very quickly shut down by Ailie 😂

They are now getting married on land and couldn't be more excited for this next chapter in their lives.

To our happy engaged DBS couple🤿🩵🍾

Another stunning trip on the MV Honeydew has come and gone… And what a trip it was!!! ☀️
11 DBS divers spent a whole week going from Ullapool to Oban. Sarah, Rohan and Cara took really great care of us, provided us with excellent meals, air/nitrox fills, expert knowledge on species identification and drysuit repair and just the best dives ever!!!

There is a full trips report to follow on the September newsletter but here is a summary of the highlights🥳:
-sunshine and calm water the whole week
-viz of 20m + in some places up north
-John Dory
-record numbers of octopus and cat sharks, as well as blennies, jellies and nudis
-spurdogs on the safety stop
-shooting stars during anchor watch
-sunset dinner on deck
-dolphins and seals every single day
-napping on the sun deck
-otters
-so so many happy divers, laughs and great vibes!!!🥰

We can’t wait for our next trip with you, thanks Sarah and Rohan! It was fantastic 🩵

📸 thanks Angela for sharing your absolutely stunning pictures with us (13-19), Graeme for the drone footage (RIP drone 🪦🙏🏻), Ellis for the spurdog video, Gordon for capturing the John Dory and Annabel for forcing everyone to be in the group pictures.
TEAM EFFORT 🥳🥳🥳

Another beautiful weekend of diving in St Abbs.✨️✨️✨️

Saturday the DBS divers explored Ebb Carr's and then did a reef dive, wolf fish included. Adrienne braved 2 dives in a 5.5 mm wetsuit!!! 💪🏻
Day 2 started out a bit later and due to severe salt water withdrawal Tom L just couldn't wait and jumped in before we even left the harbour. (He also rescued one of Aimee's lost diving objects in the process).🙌🏻
We enjoyed 2 scenic dives with another wolf fish sighting (shout out to Angela for the great pics!!!👏🏻)  nudis, blennis and lots of blue jellies!🪼

Thanks to our DBS staff Wiebke, Tom L and Tom J for making sure everyone had their equipment, was safe and had a great weekend!!! 🤿🤩

Until next time, St Abbs!!! ☀️
