On Saturday 9th November, we’ll meet at Wetherspoons Wigan Wallgate to honor our friend Ricardo, whose love for life mirrored his love of diving and our club. We’ll kick off the day meeting at the spot where it all began for his stag do, ready to retrace the same memorable route in his memory.
From there, we’ll catch the train to Lancaster, just as we did with Ricardo, a day filled with stories, laughter and memories of Ricardo. Each stop along the way will be a chance to share memories and raise a glass to the man who lived with such passion—whether exploring a new dive site or enjoying a pint with friends.

Club Bash... 45th Birthday ?🎂🥳 12th July
2025-07-12
I’m suggesting a Birthday bash day for the club.Its our 45th Birthday this year…wow..!!! I’ve looked at other events and so as NOT to clash with anything else….a good Day looks like Saturday 12th July.
I’m looking to make it an ALL INCLUSIVE day.Families, friends,Divers, snorkelers …ANYBODY is invited…The ” venue/location, has potential to change and the whole day as ever is subject to the weather….but I’ve provisionally booked the sun 🌞.
Provisionally, here’s my plan….It will be at Sandy Beach,Anglesey. This is a stunning beach,nice and Sandy,Sand dunes, and is literally next to the coastal path.Its perfect for fun on the beach,Snorkeling and at one end is a nice reef to Snorkel or shore dive too.In addition,this location is right next to my caravan site.This works because I can launch the club boat here,and recover it as required according to the tides.So, we can run the rib, either dives, or boat rides, on the beach you can Kayak,Paddleboard,etc etc…it is also DOG FRIENDLY 🐕….Also, from 2 pm, there is a clubhouse at Sandy Beach….so facilities and beer ….No food, only snacks….Someone was asking what to do with the club BBQ….perfect opportunity here….
There are local campsites, for the motorhome or camper van people,there are also B&B’s…all walking distance.In addition you can literally park on the lane behind the beach….not too many places there tho….
( normally, we’ve found the beaches not to be dog friendly) and also the rib has to be returned home and recovered at another location- this takes people away for quite a while)…If we go from here at Sandy Beach,we are all local,stay together.I can even recover the rib from the beach should this be required…..slipway prefared however.)
Please bring anyone you wish, and do exactly as you wish…..sit on the beach, go paddle,Snorkel,dive, rib ride….bbq….etc.
More details on the diving to be done to follow…
The accommodation ranges as stated from basic camp site to luxury Cottages.Ive stayed at them all , and they’re great.See BELOW
