๐Ÿคฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ ANOTHER SMASHING-IT POOL SESSION! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿคฟ

Another buzzing night at Two Riversmeet Leisure Centre with more PADI Open Water students learning to dive and PADI ReActivate divers getting back underwater. ๐ŸŒŠ

And thatโ€™s what we love about scuba โ€“ thereโ€™s no โ€œrightโ€ age or time to dive! ๐Ÿ’™

Some are taking their first breaths underwater, while others are returning after life got busy, time slipped by or the kids have finally grown up and itโ€™s time to do something for themselves again! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Whether youโ€™re young, older, completely new to scuba or havenโ€™t dived for years, thereโ€™s an underwater adventure waiting for you.

๐Ÿ‘ Huge well done to everyone training and to our fantastic TAL Scuba dive team for another great session.

Friday 31st July we had a brilliant and informative evening at Walkford Pub with Kat from Dorset Seasearch.

Kat showed us how we can all get involved in learning about, identifying and recording our local marine life โ€“ and her enthusiasm was absolutely infectious! ๐ŸŸ๐Ÿฆ€๐ŸŒฟ

Now itโ€™s time to take it a stage furtherโ€ฆ whoโ€™s up for a Seasearch course and putting that knowledge into practice underwater? ๐Ÿคฟ

๐ŸŒŠ PADI AWARE Week is coming up soon too! If youโ€™d like to get involved and help us make a difference to our local underwater environment, let us know โ€“ the more hands (and fins!) the better. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ‘‰ Interested in the Seasearch course, PADI AWARE Week, or both? Get in touch with TAL Scuba.

๐ŸŒŠ MONDAY AFTER-WORK DIVESโ€ฆ YOU NEVER KNOW WHATโ€™S WAITING! ๐Ÿฆˆ

What a way to finish a Monday! An after-work dive with Swanage Charters at Old Harryโ€™s Drift โ€” 21ยฐC, around 3m viz and a lovely slow, gentle drift.

Not loads of fish action for most of the dive, but plenty of anemones and Dead Manโ€™s Fingers to explore.

Then, just as we were about to ascend โ€” isnโ€™t it always the way?! ๐Ÿ˜†
๐Ÿฆˆ A TOPE! Just lying there on the seabed. One swish of the tail and he/she was gone!
Now youโ€™re just going to have to take my word for itโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ˜‚ Iโ€™d already clipped my camera back onto my jacket ready to ascend! ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

My first ever tope โ€” and no photo to prove it! Absolutely buzzing! ๐Ÿคฉ

Sometimes itโ€™s just that ONE unexpected encounter that makes the whole dive. ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿคฟ Whatโ€™s the one underwater encounter youโ€™ll never forget โ€” and did you manage to get the photo? ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐ŸŸ๐Ÿคฟ EVER BEEN COMPLETELY ENGULFED BY FISH? ๐ŸŒŠ

Why stop at one dive? After an awesome Sunday dive on the SS Kyarra, we headed to the Fleur de Lys & Barge for a lovely slow drift.

๐Ÿ‘€ 2โ€“3m viz | ๐ŸŒก๏ธ 20ยฐC | ๐ŸŒŠ Slow bimble

More congers, fewer nudibranchs than last time, but the fish life was AMAZING!

๐ŸŸ Stay still and suddenly youโ€™re completely surrounded by fish โ€“ an incredible feeling and one of those moments that reminds you why we love being underwater. ๐Ÿ’™

The perfect end to an amazing day of Dorset diving!
