🌊🀿 SCUBANUTS PEMBROKESHIRE WEEKEND! 🀿🌊

What do you do when you’ve got a group of 12 Scubanuts heading to Pembrokeshire for a weekend of boat diving… and the Welsh weather has other ideas?! πŸŒ¬οΈπŸŒŠπŸ˜‚

You make the best of it! πŸ’ͺ🀿

The original plan was to get out on the boats, but unfortunately the sea swell was just too high, putting paid to our boat diving plans. 🚫🚀🌊 Rather than let the weather dampen our spirits, the group got their heads together and started looking for some shore diving alternatives.

And we found some! πŸ™Œ

🀿 Saturday saw dives at St Brides Bay and Martins Haven, with everyone making the most of the conditions available. The weather and tides weren’t exactly playing ball, but we still managed to get underwater and enjoy some cracking diving! πŸŸπŸ¦€πŸŒŠ

Sunday was a different story, with conditions and tides against us, so sadly there was no diving to be had. 😬🌊 Sometimes you just have to admit defeat when Mother Nature is calling the shots!

But a Scubanuts weekend isn’t just about the diving… πŸ˜‰πŸ»

🍽️ Saturday night saw the whole gang heading out for a well-earned meal, plenty of laughs and some serious socialising! πŸ˜‚πŸ₯˜πŸ»

🧁 Sunday’s muffin picnic, courtesy of Amy’s baking, deserves a special mention! Because let’s face it… every dive trip needs emergency muffin supplies! πŸ˜‹πŸ§β˜•οΈ

And for those who weren’t quite ready for the weekend to end, a few stayed on into Sunday evening for a curry, rounding off a fantastic Bank Holiday weekend! πŸ›πŸ»

So, we may have been blown out of our boat dives 🌬️🚀, and the weather may have thrown a few curveballs our way, but the Scubanuts crew did what we do best…

We made the best of it! πŸ’™πŸ€Ώ

Great diving where we could, great food, great company and plenty of laughs along the way. That’s what club weekends are all about! πŸ₯°πŸŒŠ

A massive thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it such a brilliant weekend β€” and a special shout-out to Amy for keeping us fuelled with those muffins! πŸ§πŸ‘

Until the next adventure, Scubanuts! πŸ€ΏπŸ’™πŸŒŠ

And Steve was also busy in the pool, working on his confined water presentations as he puts the finishing touches to his Assistant Instructor training. πŸ‘πŸŽ“

From first-time divers to future instructors, there’s always something happening in our Thursday night pool sessions! 🌊🀿

We continued what has been a seriously busy week with another fantastic Thursday pool session! 🌊πŸ’ͺ

There was plenty going on in the water, with lots of progress, new experiences and some exciting milestones for our divers. πŸ™Œ

🌟 Discover Scuba Divers
A huge well done to Carys and Ethan, who both completed their Discover Scuba Dives! πŸ€ΏπŸŽ‰ It was brilliant to see you both getting comfortable underwater and taking those first exciting steps into the world of scuba diving. We hope it’s the start of many more underwater adventures! 🐠🌊

πŸ₯½ Drysuit Orientation
With Stoney Cove on the horizon for the weekend, Lee, Luke, Tim and Josh got some valuable drysuit orientation in the pool. πŸ§‘β€πŸš€πŸ€Ώ Getting familiar with the equipment and buoyancy before heading into open water is a great way to build confidence β€” especially when there’s a weekend of diving ahead! πŸŒŠπŸ‘Œ

πŸ”„ Welcome Back, Steve!
And a big welcome back to Steve, who got his diving back up and running with a Reactivation session! πŸ‘πŸ€Ώ Great to have you back in the water, Steve!

A massive well done to everyone who took part, and a huge thank you to the instructors, helpers and club members who keep these sessions running and make them such a great place to learn and progress. ❀️

Thursday nights are definitely becoming busy ones! πŸ˜„πŸ€Ώ

πŸŒ™πŸ€Ώ Stoney Cove Club Night Dive πŸ€ΏπŸŒ™

What a fantastic turnout for our club night dive at Stoney Cove last Wednesday! πŸ™ŒπŸŒŠ

It was great to see so many familiar faces, along with several members taking the plunge into night diving for the very first time. There’s something pretty special about exploring Stoney Cove after dark β€” a completely different atmosphere, new things to see, and plenty of excitement along the way! πŸ”¦πŸŸβœ¨

And there was an extra reason to celebrate… πŸŽ‰πŸ₯³

Huge congratulations to Tom Escudier on completing his 50th dive! πŸ†πŸ€ΏπŸ‘

Reaching 50 dives is a fantastic milestone in itself, but even better, this dive cemented Tom’s Master Scuba Diver certification! πŸ’ͺ🌟 What a way to mark the occasion β€” a night dive surrounded by the club and plenty of support from fellow divers.

A massive CONGRATULATIONS, Tom! πŸŽ‰πŸΎ Well deserved!

Thanks to everyone who came along, supported the newer night divers, and helped make it such a brilliant club evening. Nights like this are what club diving is all about β€” great diving, new experiences, shared achievements and, most importantly, plenty of laughs along the way! πŸ˜„πŸ€Ώ
