Annual Christmas dive
Annual Christmas dive To start the year we completed our celebratory 50th anniversary dive at Ecclestone Delph so it seemed right to have come full circle and have our annual Christmas dive at the same venue (not withstanding the fact that we do this every year). A total of 20 signed up for the meal…
Capernwray – 11 degrees and dropping
Capernwray – 11 degrees and dropping A couple of visits to Capernwray this month for a few leisure dives and a bit of practice.

Izu Peninsula – Japan
Izu Peninsula – Japan It’s a fair old trek from Tokyo to get to a decent dive site, and navigating the busy rail system in Japanese while carting a load of dive gear adds an interesting dimension to the journey. But divers are not known for their faint heartedness and the lure of a 24C…
2nd TSAC quiz night
2nd TSAC quiz night The first 50th anniversary quiz went well so a second one called for. This time the focus would be away from diving and more of a general quiz, although the odd diving question would slip in. The same format as before was used with two sets of picture questions, a music…
Stoney Cove
Stoney Cove Scotland’s weather looked appalling. Amber weather warnings, flooding and heavy rain made a five hour journey look unappealing adding to that the possibility of dive sites inaccessible we abandoned the Scotland idea. Not wanting to waste the opportunity two of us decided to head to Stoney Cove for the day. With Stoney they…
