🤿 The Diving Experience

Lundy is a Marine Protected Area known for its incredible biodiversity. This trip is designed to offer a mix of playful mammal encounters and scenic exploration.

• Seal Encounters: Most dives will be in shallow, sheltered bays specifically chosen for high interaction with Lundy’s friendly seal colony.

• Wreck & Reef: Depending on weather conditions and group preference, we may explore one of Lundy’s famous wrecks (Max depth 30m).

• The Boat: We will be diving from a comfortable charter vessel equipped with a diver lift on the rear for easy, stress-free re-entry.

• Total Dives: 2 dives

• Also hot drinks & choc biscuits which has to be the clincher.
