CLUB DIVE CANCELLED TONIGHT!!!!!
Looks as though we were a bit premature in declaring the club dive this evening as being 'on'.
Just for clarification, we were planning to hold the club dive at The Buckshore tonight. This is the same area we held it a couple of weeks ago, between the old Swanage Pier and Peveril Point, right next to Durlstone Bay. This is one of the few spots in our area that can hold viz when the conditions are as they have been over the last few days.
However, a friend of mine was in that area this morning so I asked him to check out the viz for me - he reported back that it was BROWN!
In light of this, we have decided to cancel the official club dive this evening, so that people do not come from all over the South West to be greeted by a large bowl of pea soup.
Having said all that, there is still a chance that a tide change this evening might sweep a bit of clean water into this little area (as it sometimes does). So, although there is no official club dive, if individuals want to go down to the Durlstone/Buckshore area, you might just find some viz this evening (although you will have to make personal arragements amongst yourselves to hook up with buddies). Try to stay well clear of the point, at Peveril Point, as the tide can run strong here and you might find yourself taking a bit of a journey up or down The English Channel. Another spot in the area that might be worth a try is the south west corner of Durlstone Bay, as this can sometimes hold it's viz a little better than the rest of the Bay.
It's up to you. Personally I'm in 2 minds about it, and will probably make my decision right at the last minute.
Good luck if you decide to go, and fingers crossed that the weather starts to improve soon, so that we can hold some decent club dives in some decent conditions.
Gaz.
