Massive congratulations to Kyla Taylor on completing her SDI - Scuba Diving International Open Water Scuba Diver yesterday! 🥳🤿🥳

Late to season and in not the easiest conditions, Kyla took to diving like a fish takes to water and absolutely smashed her course! 🥇🏆🐟

After 4 days of intensive training, she was performing all skills in neutral buoyancy thanks to her hard work and eagerness to learn! 😎💪

Just in time too as Kyla will now be off to the Philippines to enjoy some epic diving out there! 🪸🦪🐡🐠🌴

Many thanks to everyone who's helped out with her course and a special shout-out to both Jools Mason to Divemaster OW day 1 Dive Looe for sending Rhys to Divemaster OW day 2 for us! 👊🙏🤿

We have now wrapped up all diving for 2026, but we will be diving again in January 2027! 📅

(Also I owe an apology for the shop barely being open this month. 😅 Truth is my partner and I are in the process of moving house, the move date is imminent on top of starting another part time job which is also on top of my current support worker job to keep the funds coming in.... So the shop will be closed through November - early December for the time being until that's all sorted! 😵‍💫 So apologies again for that! 🙏)

In the meantime you can still contact me via the usual details: WhatsApp or [email protected] 😉📱☎️📧

Looking for a Divemaster to help finish off an Open Water course this Wednesday 11th November! 🤿

You'll need to have a HSE medical, insurance and be in active status with your agency. ✅✅✅

I can supply you with cylinders, equipment, refreshments and £40 commission. 🤿☕🍩👌

This would probably suit a student looking for extra cash or a semi retired instructor looking for an excuse to dive. 😉

If anyone can help out - that would be much appreciated! 😊

Two celebrations this weekend just gone:

Firstly a massive congratulations to Jon for passing his SDI - Scuba Diving International Divemaster course! 🎉🤘🤿🤘🎉

Jon has been a scuba diver for 20 years and felt it was about time to become a professional SDI Dive Leader! 😎

Due to his exceptionally busy work/life balance, we did his course over an intensive three and a half weeks with early starts and late finishes. 😵‍💫 But all that hard work really paid off as Jon led a fantastic guided dive safely for two divers in not the easiest conditions (The visibility was terrible! 😂).

Despite that we did see a catshark, which was a first for Sarah Thompson who had been dying to see one since she completed her refresher earlier this year. 🦈😁

The other diver and also worth celebrating was Sasha, who completed her very first UK dive with Jon and I. 🥇🇬🇧🤿

Sasha was fantastic and despite the poor conditions, she absolutely loved it! 🥰

Well done guys, a massive congratulations to the both of you! 🥳🤿🤘

Massive congratulations to Philip Sloan on becoming our latest SDI - Scuba Diving International Lobster Release Diver! 🎉🦞🤿

Philip did the Lobster Release Experience with us through his Dive Club at Andark Diving and Watersports and enjoyed it so much, he wanted to join the ranks of our Lobster Release Divers that is growing throughout the UK! 🦞🇬🇧🦞

This included a trip to the National Lobster Hatchery in Padstow to see behind the scenes and speak to the experts about lobster conservation, threats and impacts. Then on day two, Philip learnt about the methods for releasing lobsters and their challenges. Then Philip successfully released 345 baby lobsters at Swanpool Beach in Falmouth! 😁😎

Sadly this was our last lobster release of 2026 as breeding season comes to an end and winter weather conditions are right around the corner! 😭

However, we will be working closely with the Lobster Hatchery through winter, planning dates and exciting events ready for 2027! 😉📅

Also the exact numbers are in - since April 1st - October 28th, we have released a total of 6156 baby lobsters into Falmouth, Lizard Peninsula and Penzance combined! 🥳🥳🥳

This has been a fantastic year for us and I would personally like to thank all the snorkelers and divers for joining us in our lobster release experiences and courses this year! It's been truly epic! 🦞🤘🤿🤘🦞

Interested in taking part in our lobster release experience? Or a dive club looking for something different to do with your members? Or maybe you too would like to join this growing community of Lobster Release Divers? 😉

Vis and temperature might be dropping as Autumn enters full swing but we still had a lovely weekend of diving & snorkeling! 🤿❤️

Saturday we did some refresher rescue diver training - this was a brilliant day for team building full of laughs, coffee and all round fun! 😁

Sunday we had the pleasure of leading a snorkel tour for Nigel, Miranda and her son Finley who won their spaces on the RNLI Porthleven Raffle earlier in the Summer! Congratulations guys, the snorkel was fantastic and we still saw plenty of wrasse, Po***ck, sandeels, starfish and lots of Blennies tucked away with the cracks of the rocks! (Too tight to get my camera in though for a pic 😅). 🐟🐠🫧

Then on Monday a massive well done to Amanda on completing her SDI Scuba Discovery with us inside Mullion Harbour! 🎉
We had a fab time and we even found an Albino Shore Crab, which is an unusual find! 🦀 (Normally Shorecrab's are brown or green, I've seen blue ones in Scotland but this is the first time I've seen an albino one! 👀)

We are also thrilled to welcome Sarah Thompson to our dive team as shore cover next year! 😁👌

On Friday 30th October we have a Divemaster exam where we'll be offering two FREE Guided Dives with two spaces available! 🤿🤿
