The location is ideal being on the inner harbour of Port St Mary where the main launch site is for the south of the Island. With wrecks, scenic dives, basking sharks, dolphins or seals this is the place to come for a long weekends diving.

Leaving on 16th July we have 4 nights B&B in Port St Mary on the Isle of Man and 4 days dive pack (8 boat dives inc air).  The price is £275 per person and includes board, accommodation and diving as above. Not included is transport and any diving equipment.  The idea is to car share and take the van with all the equipment in so we share the ferry costs.

THIS IS A TRIP NOT TO BE MISSED.  Ask any of the dive club who joined us in 2008.

***  2 SPACES REMAINING  ***

In 2003 HMS Scylla was bought by the National Marine Aquarium to be placed on the seabed as a reef.  Even though HMS Scylla is seen as still a very young wreck, the outside walls of the hull are teaming with anemones and sea squirts of a variety of colours (predominantly orange).  Also many of the fish that can be seen on the neighbouring wreck, the James Egan Layne, have taken up residence both in and around the Scylla, including wrasse, pouting, bibs and pollack.

The James Eagan Layne an American liberty ship located in Whitsand Bay in 21 metres is one of our most popular dives. At 10000 Tons this considerable wreck is home to a multitude of marine life, can easily be penetrated without danger or special training, and stands within 8 metres from the surface at the Bow. Inside you can swim through the engine room past the engines and boilers, through the cargo holds and into various other areas of the ship. Sunk in 1945 by a Torpedo from U1195 on 21st March 1945, the torpedo piercing the 4th & 5th holds on the starboard vessel's side. Her cargo consisted of tank parts, jeeps, lorries, wagon wheels and various other smaller items.

Capernwray is ideal at this time of the year.  It is generally rather quiet at the inland sites during the cooler months of the year. If you have not been to Capernwray before there is more to this quarry than you would believe at first glance, with wrecks, some vertical slate walls and a host of fish from perch to sturgeon. This is the ideal place to dust off that dive gear that has been in the cupboard since last summer!

There are a number of options.  Our preferred method is that all DLC members meet at Diving Leisure in Leeds, then car share to the dive site. This saves on fuel for all divers, reduces our carbon footprint and allows the entire diving day to become more of an event.
