The start of the month saw a fabulous day boat on the Aeolian Sky with 8-10m viz! With some incredible viz our divers enjoyed some lovely swim-throughs. A great way to finish off our day boats for the year.
We've also had some great shore dives with up to 8m viz reported at Branksome Chine and Shore Road, along with lots of life - Cuttlefish, Rays, Crabs, Eels and more!
It was the last day boat of the season, but we've still got Thursday evenings running until the end of October and our shore diving will go on until the weather allows.
