JEWELS OF THE JURASSIC COAST

Portland Long Weekend – Jewels Of The Jurassic Coast

Join us on the beautiful Jurassic coast out of Portland to explore some of the wonderful wrecks and reefs that lie just off this stunning coast line.

We’re aiming to dive on the little known reefs such as Bats Head reef and Grove point, as well as the more well know area of Lulworth banks and the wreck of the black hawk off Worbarrow Bay. In August the wrecks and reefs should be teeming with life so it will be the perfect weekend to take in this underwater wonderland, any keen underwater photographers should also have plenty of opportunity for some great shots.

Qualifications

This is a recreational weekend and all the dives will be around the 15m-30m range. Each diver will need to be qualified to a depth of 30metres and experienced in UK waters.

Maximum Numbers

Numbers are limited to 12 divers per day. As I am booking places as required for club members we are not responsible for filling the boat.

Considerations

You will need two cylinders on this weekend as we will not be coming back to shore in between dives. Air and nitrox is available on site. Food and drinks will be advisable to take with you for in between dives. 

Jurassic Aqua Sports

We will be diving with Jurassic Aqua Sports and captain David on the hard boat Waverider based out of the new Portland marina. There is parking available on site but there is now a charge to park.  As divers we will get a 50% reduction in the parking costs, payable on exit. Air and nitrox is available on site. Toilet facilities on site. Cafe on site.

Costs and Payments

£70 per person per day.  This includes 2x boat dives. I will need a 50% deposit to secure your place and the balance 8 weeks before the trip.

Cancellations

Should you cancel your space for any reason, you are still liable to pay the full price unless you or the organiser can find a suitable diver to fill your place.

Accommodation

You will need to organise your own accommodation for this weekend.  There are plenty of options around Weymouth and Portland to suit all budgets.

Responsibilities

The only responsibilities of the organiser is to co-ordinate and facilitate a group booking of like minded divers with a dive charter or similar operator.  On your behalf he or she will collect monies from all divers and will pay the dive charter or operator on your behalf. Any diver joining a trip does not hold the organiser, or the seahorse dive club, responsible or liable for any issues or circumstances arising.  All and every diver attending the trip must agree that they are fit to dive and will dive within their certified qualifications and depth levels. They certify this to their buddy or team and the dive charter or operator.
