Great turnout at the AGM last night!!! 🍔🍻
We elected a new committee for the upcoming season, had some interesting chats about the future of the club, upcoming trips and training opportunities and how we can best work together as a charity that is run entirely by volunteers.
We also had lots of burgers, fries and b**r, some less official chat and many many laughs🥳
Thank you to everyone who came last night and made it so special. 👏🏻

We'd also like to thank all our very hard working volunteers who made the last season so successful, so safe and so fun! We can't wait for the next one!!! 🤿❤️

DBS Maldives trip 2026

A week ago a group of 20 DBS divers returned from an epic Maldives liveaboard trip.
Here's some impressions for now but you'll have to wait for Ellis' trip report in the upcoming newsletter for the full story.
Let's just say there was sharks, mantas, night dives, a drysuit scandal, card game obsessions, chips, and lots of underwater mischief.
Thanks for everyone who came and made it such a special and fun week!!!🪸🦈🐙🐠🐡

We can't wait for the next DBS trip abroad, Egypt November 2027!!!

Another glorious training day at Loch Long on Sunday. Drysuit students and fun divers all enjoyed the sun and pretty calm conditions 👌🏻
We had our new DM Kieran out with us, thanks to Tom L for shore support and pictures, and we are SUPER PSYCHED to have our instructor Stevie back in the water on a regular basis now 🎉💪🏻

Thanks everyone who came!!!

Any questions about our training please message [email protected] 🙏🏻

Autumn is upon us and we are looking back at 2 absolutely stunning Farnes weekends with Billy Shiel Farne Islands Boats , so many close seal encounters and no cancellations due to bad weather!!! 🦭
We even had some sunshine and ice cream 🥳

Thank you so much to the DBS staff: Tom, Aimee, Jorge and Annabel.
But also everyone else who came and made it such great weekends!!!👌🏻
We can't wait to go back next year!!!

Special shout out to Ailie who took the first video and picture. She spent so much quality time with this seal that she almost forgot to return to the surface after an hour. 😅❤️

Also shout out to Angela who took pictures 3-5, amazing as always👏🏻, and to Tom the octopus spotter!!!

(Aimee had a fantastic time as well, despite what it looks like in the last picture.... )

We currently have a group of people on the plane to our abroad trip to the Maldives 🏝, apart from that training is ongoing and we are going to Capernwray end of November, message [email protected] if you have any questions.

Beach Clean 24th October

Exciting announcement!!! We have organised a beach clean at our training dive site, A-Frames in Loch Long. We felt like the time has come to give back to the local environment and leave it as clean as tidy as we possibly can.
We have teamed up with the Argyll and Bute Council who will provide litter pickers and bin bags and also dispose of the rubbish after we’re done.
The beach clean should ideally be done around 2h after high tide, which would be approximately 2pm on that day. For those who are keen, we will go for a fun dive before.

Please sign up for the beach clean (+dive) here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSczAXqUykbJayCEPJLMBNb1pJspGGaVdebAX1cuBMQQkIwWcw/viewform?usp=header

Please read the information on the official MCS link: https://www.mcsuk.org/what-you-can-do/beach-clean/find-beach-clean/dbs-beach-clean/
and feel free to sign up there as well, you don’t need to though if you don’t have/want to create a MCS account. As long as you fill out the google form, so we know you’re coming. We will create a WhatsApp group to discuss details sooner the time.
The beach clean will be conform with MCS beach clean guidelines, we will do a little briefing before we get started.
If you have any gardening gloves, please bring them along. We do have a small supply available as well though.
Make sure you bring a thermos with a hot beverage, snacks and lots of layers!!! Who knows, maybe the sun will come out and we can even sit down for a little picnic 😊
We can’t wait to see you and spend a great day with you all!
Any questions, just message Alex [email protected] or Annabel [email protected].

Congratulations to Ailie, Shy, Alex, Eddie, Jamie and Cez for completing their EFR(/refresher) course with Annabel last week! 💥
We covered lots of different aspects like CPR, O2 administration, AED use, wound care, diving incidents and many more.
Lots of stories and laughs as well despite the difficult topics. 👏🏻

If you're thinking of doing your rescue diver or DM or if your efr has run out or maybe you're just interested in learning first aid, this course is an excellent option for you!
We will run the next one probably in November, date to be confirmed. Message [email protected] if you're interested 🫁🫀🩹
