What a brilliant couple of days, last night Lucy was in the Pool doing some more great work towards her RAID open water 20.

Today the first of a few try dive and refresher days we have planned with the BU Scuba Uni club, we had such great fun and we hope you did too. You all took to it so well and we are looking forward to seeing you all back to start your RAID Open Water 20 courses, or continue on with some courses and of course get you all out diving soon:))

Big well done all and a massive thank you all the Dive South team that helped the whole day to run so swimmingly😋🤣 Rich, Scott, Neil, Justin, Ben and Lei THANK YOU! Here are a few photos from Neil’s mobile, some more will follow soon, please feel free to tag yourselves:) #DiveSouth #DiveRAID #LearnToScuba #BUScuba ... See MoreSee Less

So its been good today, the wind is swinging round tomorrow morning, it still looks pretty light though, so I am still up for popping down early to see what it’s like. If anyone fancies joining me, meet there for 8:45am 🙂Beautiful Autumn morning with a flat calm sea, plenty of divers already here. Viz reported at around 4-5 metres. ... See MoreSee Less

Dive South shared Xdeep's post.

18/10/18

Really great jesture XDeep, we all love our sidemount setup;))In July 2018 the world held its breath when a group of cave divers, supported by thousands of military and civilian people, including volunteers from around the world, took an action which had absolutely no precedence in the history.

Their outstanding effort and dedication resulted in a miraculous, yet paid with hard work, the rescue of the boys and their coach.

When Ben Reymenants, who was one of the first arriving divers, called us at the early stage of the rescue action and asked us for support, we just did what everybody would do; tried to help them in any way we could at that moment.

Another rescue diver, Mikko Paasi told us, that ever since the rescue action began, the divers had been using their private rigs, mostly STEALTH 2.0, which they used for their every-day dives in caves and for training. To honour the unquestionable heroes, we offered them the brand new STEALTH 2.0 sets.

It's hard too think I started my training 7 years ago with Abi, Rob, Di and Brian. Thank you once again. It has taken me on so many amazing adventures. I never dreamy I would use my certification so much. I'm well and truly hooked.

Forgive the nooby posting but <scratches chin> damn near everywhere!!

Truly the best dive of my life. But expensive.

Silfra is amazing. But I'd really love to dive El Pit!

It still doesn’t look real to me, it was a beautiful dive, crystal clear water as you can see and just the most amazing sense of perspective and scale:) floating in the most amazing space, time stood still, in that moment nothing else mattered and sense of total freedom #LivingInTheMoment
