Darren’s ‘Gone Diving’ Day success

The start of the Dive Season went off with a bang yesterday with the success of Sub-Mission’s ‘Gone Diving’ day. Darren had organised for the club to dive at Stoney Cove, as a gentle introduction to the new season, in anticipation of some coastal diving to come. We had a phenomenal turnout with over 30 divers attending. Although we’d all lost an hour’s sleep due to the changing of the clocks, everyone was in high spirits and excited about the days diving ahead of them.

Darren was on hand to help several of the group plan dives and arrange buddy teams. He was even spotted making several club members tea and chocolate.

There was a variety of diver experience levels in attendance and whilst some members carefully planned dives to the deepest parts of Stoney Cove, others were happy to get used to their kit again along the shallower parts of the shelf. The Stanegarth was by far the most popular feature that club members were excited to explore.

Due to the poor visibility at Stoney Cove, the highlight of the day was probably the unlimited amount of cake, biscuits and yummy food available between dives.

We are really pleased with how many divers turned up and are excited that this year's ‘Gone Diving’ calendar will be a great success. So make sure you keep an eye on the blog to avoid missing the next event.
