Nestled away at 38m underwater in Port Gore is the MS Mikhial Lermontov. The Lermontov is one of the world’s largest wrecks easily accessible for divers. I shot down there with a group of club divers over Labour weekend to explore this behemoth and try to complete my Advanced Wreck Diver training. The history behind […]

Club Trip – Palau 2019
I was excited to finally heading back to Palau! Where’s that you ask? Micronesia is the answer but perhaps not so helpful. Palau consists of over 300 islands surrounded by a fringing reef making it an ideal dive destination. Flying to Palau involves flying north to Taiwan and then a 4 hour flight south again […]
Monthly Madness Prize Draw – Enriched Air Course
As a diver you know that your bottom time is limited due to the Nitrogen we absorb. When diving ~18 metres or shallower, you can stay for up to an hour if you have enough air. But go a little deeper and your bottom time is reduced dramatically. Well why not extend your bottom time […]
The hunt for an unknown wreck!
After Christmas lunch, sitting around and relaxing; the subject of an unknown wreck pricked the ears of the divers in the room. “Grandad’ was bought up and later worked around Terawhiti Station, near Red Rocks and used to snorkel a wreck in that area. The wreck of the SS Penguin was mentioned but the location […]
Diving into Darkness
Hot chocolate by torch light, with just a hint of sea water – that’s what night diving is all about! Winter is on its way and with it so are night dives. I have always found night dives to be the most incredible way to spend time underwater. Rather than being dark and gloomy like […]

Ha’apai Tonga 2018
With a week to go the divers are keenly packing and struggling to keep their luggage within the allowances. With a day to go we are told that our internal flight has been cancelled – oh no! We had two options stay at home or go on an adventure. We chose the adventure of course. So […]
How To Choose a Dive Site
Choosing the right dive site for the day is the number one way to make or break a day of diving. Every diver out there would probably agree that choosing the best dive site gets easier with experience, but very rarely does anyone explain what to consider in choosing a site. For me there are […]
