What sort of diving does the club do?
Fortunately we’ve a good cross section of divers with a wide range of interests. As in all clubs we’ve a core of “wreckies” – divers who like to explore those lumps of metal on the seabed that are otherwise known as shipwrecks. To cater for these, there’s a vast array of wrecks off the Tyne that can be dived in the summer evenings. Alternatively, at weekends we can travel further north into Northumberland and dive some of the wrecks around the Farne Islands or St. Abbs in Scotland. We usually have longer trips to dive the wrecks in the Sound of Mull during the late spring and usually somewhere else (e.g. Weymouth, Southern Ireland, Scapa Flow etc.) later in the year. For those who prefer scenic or natural history diving, the Northumbrian coast is popular at weekends and there’s usually a trip to the Scottish west coast in early spring. Our diving trips abroad in recent years have included The Red Sea(several times), Gozo, Norway and Normandy (twice). But if this sounds too adventurous
