Diving Lundy IslandThe club is running a trip to Lundy Island in Sept 2026. The diving will be very scenic reefs (with seals!) and a small number of historic wrecks. Max depth will be 30m, with most diving 12-25m. Ideal for Advanced Ocean Divers. Sea temps will be ~16 degrees. Diving will be from a large hard boat with a diver lift. Air fills will be on land, so two cylinders required per day.
Accommodation is a large self-catering house with 4 WC’s, large communal kitchen, dining room and sitting room. Sleeps 10 divers in 2 single rooms, 3 twin rooms, and 2 doubles. Alternatively, you may book your own accommodation. There is a small village nearby with a pub/restaurant and general store (we would also need to bring some of our own supplies from the mainland). Note that there is weak phone coverage.
