The start of the month saw some fabulous shore and boat diving. We explored Swanage Pier and our local bays, we encountered some fantastic life - Cuttlefish, Crabs, Lobsters, Rays, Gurnards and more!

We're excited to be doing some more diving over the next few months before the dive season ends...
