Aqua Blue Text Message Service
We have recently started using a great text service from Scubatext This new service will enable us to keep in touch with subscribed members by SMS which should enable us to let you know of any late spaces on trips or if dives have been canceled at the last minute due to weather etc.
How can you start using this? Simple, you can join in one of two ways. The easiest is to just send a text with "SUBSCRIBE AQUABD" to 07797801661 (without the speech marks though!) Alternatively you can register through the website here

Aqua Blue Update. 15th October
Last Thursdays evening club dive was one of the few dives conducted during the week. With the weekends shore diving off Chesil beach blown out, well it is October I suppose...
Only two spaces left for this Thursdays evening dive due to cancellations. Please see below.
Club evening dive every Thursday evening, spaces available at the moment, leaving from West Bay at 7pm. Please ensure you have two torches plus a strobe attached to your SMB, as it will be dark by the time you surface.
The Sunday afternoon pool training sessions and Seal team training at Beaminster pool will be coming to an end at the end of this month until next year. We will then revert back to using Chantmarle pool over the winter for all training.
We are looking at doing Open Water Courses over the winter period. Just doing the academics and five pool sessions spread out over a few months then finishing the sea dives when the sea conditions are favourable next year, or finishing off abroad as a referral. We can also do this for the Rescue Course.
Other courses planned over the winter are the New Oxygen Admin Speciality Course, Medic First Aid and Enriched Air (Nitrox). Please contact us for details on 07771906101 or by email.
Have a safe and enjoyable dive where ever you may go?
Kind Regards, Jon

Aqua Blue Update. 6th October
Well it had to be too good to last, with October starting out very windy and wet the scheduled Open Water Sea Dives over the weekend were binned for another day, and last weeks club evening dive also went the same way. Fingers crossed for this week!
Some of us did manage to get wet on Sunday, diving the Storm Overflow drains which go under the Portland causeway. Lots of anenomies, velvet swimming crabs, shrimps and some very large eels. A good torch was definatley needed, and a good hose down of kit afterwards. This is the first time i have dived this site in over 7 years, and i had forgotten how much life there was to be seen in such a small area. Just goes to show that there is always some where to dive, if your not to picky.
Some Scapa Flow trip reports and pictures have been posted on the web site, so check them out! Cheers Rik. Please feel free to add your own, the more the merrier.
Only two spaces left for this Thursdays (9th Oct) evening/night dive departing 7pm. Please ensure you have two torches plus a strobe attached to your SMB as it will be dark by the time you surface.
Next pool session this Sunday from 2.30pm at Beaminster pool, Try Dives, Refreshers and Seal Team.
Diving Insurance. Once again it has been bought to our attention that many of you probably only carry diving insurance whilst you are away abroad on holiday. Although here in the UK it is not mandatory to have any kind of diving insurance. We highly recommend you take out third party liability insurance at least, a sign of the times I am afraid. The implications of not having suitable cover could be huge. If you belong to the BSAC or SAA your club membership should cover you, but do check. If you would like to talk to us about this or find out who provides diving insurance please feel free to ask us.
Have a safe and enjoyable dive where ever you may go?
Kind Regards, Jon
