South Devon 2014

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
I finally got in for a dive today as the weather was so nice. The viz was as expected really. We had 30cm in the shallow and 1m further out, so proper Braille diving. We were after lobsters anyway, and the complete lack of kelp really helped. We found a keeper and a smaller one we put back. We didn't see and fish at all.
With the recent storms, all the kelp had been stripped, but also there was lots of smashed rock. Not small pieces, but big lumps of reef just snapped off and bashed up.

South ham boys any viz on the far side. By that I mean thurlestone!!
 
Hi guys. I'm not local, but was hoping to come down this weekend. Any news on how it's looking around the Torbay area? Don't mind low viz too much as long as the sea is calm enough to swim in. Cheers.
 
Haven't checked brixham way but the rest is pretty grim from winds from the SE, now being hit by SW which should help clear but nothing at the mo. sorry
 
With these westerly winds over the next few days. any chance of viz slapton side south ham boys??

cheers

Anyone know where there are some decent spots to get some mussels.. just moved to live near Brixham and as yet not found anywhere local?
Got in for a spear at Elberry the other day, not much about and viz wasn't too good but keen to get in next week if anyone wants a look in
 
There are plenty to be had in Torbay. I collect them from buoy ropes (in open water not harbours of course) as they are grit free.
 
Ah ok cheers Spiderman,, just surprised the rocks aren't loaded with them like you see on the North coast
 
There are rocks covered with them in places not too far from you but I still prefer mine rope grown

Walked the dogs near Wonwell today, can't say it made me want to get in!

Still pretty churned up... but of course it is an estuary.
 
Sorry, haven't I checked elsewhere. To be honest, I can't image it's very good though. Still a bit of swell.
 
Thanks Steve. Just have to sit it out. Might have a tour of the bay. That way if there isn't any viz not too far from home.
Dorset boys reporting similar.
 
Has anybody been out recently? Has there been any improvements this week, or are we still diving in miso soup?
 
I walked the coast path from Brixham to Kingswear yesterday with my family. As you can see it was looking quite inviting. Possibly a bit milky but I was wishing I was diving!
