Scuba Diving in Manchester

  DM Club had 2 Red Sea Trip this year. February annual trip and April part2 trip. Both trips were great FUN! February trip was meant to be going to Brother Islands; however, due to the shark incidents last year, the site was still closed.   Instead, the boat took us to Salem Express, well known wreck with very sad back ground.. The accident killed hundreds of pilgrims coming back from Mecca. When diving such wreck, we must remember not to disturb the souls resting in peace...  On the trip, we had good celebrations; 300th dive for Paula, 200th dive for Gary, 50th dive for Sam, Erika & Michelle. Great achievement! Thank you to the kitchen staff for making special cakes. Everybody enjoyed it.  April Trip was for Northern Wreck and Reefs, the most popular itinerary in Red Sea. Great weather and less current. It was perfect for some of the novice divers. We had 5 divers doing their Advanced Open Water Diver course on the boat. How lucky they are to do the course in such a

Scuba Divers are basically people who are in love with the Water World and the Nature; Sea, Ocean, and Marine Life. Human activities are not always great for what we all love. What can we do to make a change? This question led us, Dive Manchester, to work with the Sea Shepherd Ghost Net Campaign(SSGN).  SSGN is one of the activities getting more active in UK. Basically, going out to the sea and clean up the rubbish that people left behind in water. It sounds very simple, however, it is much more to do. First of all, in order to "clean" the sea, you must have a permission from the UK authority. Umm? Wait a minute. Do you have to "pay" some fee in order to do a favour to the country? The answer is "yes". Some private groups and diving clubs have been doing sea bed cleaning for years without permission. Sadly, if someone wants to cause a problem, they can accuse these good people for breaking a law. SSGN has been purchasing the permit to be legitimate. N
