🎉 MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS TO CORREY AND LOGAN! 🎉

Give it up for our newest SSI Advanced Open Water Divers! 🤿💦

We had the absolute best weekend putting these two through their paces at Vobster Quay. The weather was absolutely beautiful and if you closed your eyes between surface intervals, you would’ve sworn we were abroad! ☀️🌴

Correy and Logan smashed through 5 training dives over the weekend, expanding their skills and crushing every challenge:

Day 1: Perfecting Buoyancy, having fun with underwater Navigation and exploring the Wrecks. They also experienced limited Visibility and and went through DSMB deployment.

Day 2: We jumped into the Deep Dive and Nitrox training.
All dives through the weekend based on a foundation of safe diving practices with controlled descents and safe slow ascents.

The visibility up top started out a bit poor, but honestly? It made for a fantastic, fun training environment to simulate night and limited visibility diving. Real-world skills right there!

But the reward came on Day 2 when we dropped down to 30 meters. Once we got below 15 meters, the visibility opened up beautifully, giving us a lovely minimum of 6 meters of clear water to enjoy. 🐠✨

Both of them performed exceptionally well all weekend and handled the depths like absolute pros.
They are officially certified and 100% ready for their upcoming dive trip to Egypt! 🇪🇬

They’ll be joining Elite diving and the crew for what is bound to be an epic dive holiday.

Watch out Red Sea, here they come! 🦈☀️

Shark egg date collection (Lundy Island)

🌊🦈Unexpected Citizen Science at Lundy Island! 🌊🦈

While the team at Divexplore headed out to Lundy over the weekend with one main goal; diving with the iconic playful seals, nature had a few pleasant surprises in store for us.

As every diver knows, the best plans are the ones that stay flexible. While exploring, we came across an abundance of shark egg cases, affectionately known as Mermaid’s Purses.
We couldn't pass up the chance to contribute to vital marine conservation, so we shifted gears to collect and log this data for the Shark Trust.

"In diving, conditions and opportunities change constantly, so we just went with the flow!"

We've shared a few snaps from an incredible, unpredictable weekend underwater below.

🤿 Get Involved!

Citizen science plays a massive role in protecting our oceans. If you want to join our next conservation adventure or learn how to log your own marine finds, check us out at divexplore.co.uk.

Absolutely epic weekend diving at Lundy Island! 🤿🌊 If this place isn’t on your scuba bucket list yet, change that immediately.

Here are a few highlights from an unforgettable trip:

🦭 The Playful Seals: They totally stole the show! It’s like swimming with underwater puppies. They were zooming all around us, nibbling on our fins, and posing for the camera. Absolutely magical.

🐠 Beautiful Ecosystem: The marine life out there is incredibly vibrant. The kelp forests are stunning, and the whole ecosystem feels so healthy and untouched.

👌 Great Diving: We got super lucky with the conditions. Great visibility, awesome dive buddies, and pristine waters.

Honestly, I'm already experiencing some major surface-interval blues. Huge thanks to everyone who made the weekend so brilliant!

Already planning the next trip back.

🐠LUNDY IS UPON US!!!🐠

Lundy Island lies off the coast of North Devon, right where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Bristol Channel—with nothing but open water between it and America. Crafted from granite and slate, this rugged island spans just three miles long and half a mile wide. In the noise of the modern world, Lundy remains a place apart: peaceful, unspoiled, and a genuine slice of paradise right on our doorstep.

The team at Divexplore, with a group of certified divers are heading there today, gearing up for two incredible dives tomorrow!

🐋A Diver's Paradise🐬

With exceptional visibility and a bustling underwater ecosystem, the waters surrounding Lundy are a premier destination for divers and snorkelers alike. The island is famously home to:

🦭Atlantic Grey Seals: A playful colony of over 200 seals that frequently interact with divers.

🦭Thriving Birdlife: The Southwest’s largest seabird colony.

🦭Rich History: Fascinating historic monuments scattered across the island and its waters.

🐬Safeguarding the Ecosystem🐬

To ensure this unique environment thrives for generations to come, Lundy is heavily protected as a Marine Protected Area (MPA).

Notably, it features a 4 square kilometer "No Take Zone." This strictly protected area safeguards marine wildlife and heritage while allowing local fish stocks to recover and the entire habitat to flourish naturally.
