Welcome to Dodgy Divers...

Since discovering scuba diving in 2006 we have taken every available opportunity to get
below the surface both in the Red Sea as well as here in the UK.

Dodgydivers.com was formed so that we could show the rest of the world some of what we have seen. All the pictures on this site have been taken by us on compact digital cameras which is one speciality we continue to develop.

We have also continued our diver training to broaden our expertise and open up new possibilities as well as learning valuable life saving and safety skills.

Our favourite UK diving is to be found just off the south coast at Selsey in West Sussex though we have also dived in Portland as well as nearby inshore sites including Horsea Island (which is now closed to the general public) and Vobster Quay in Somerset.

There are many dive companies around, probably more than you would expect until you start looking for them. Anyway we have found a few. In the UK, whenever possible, we use Mulbery Divers in Selsey, West Sussex - that's local diving for us. When we are abroad, normally in the Red Sea, we use Colona Divers. Both of these companies have very good reputations and safety is always the number one priority.

We trust both of these companies with our children. The children haven't broken them yet!

We hope you enjoy the website and if you are visiting it as we met you whilst diving perhaps you will recognise some of the animals we photographed...

February 2012

Last October we 'got wrecked' on board Whirlwind and we have just come back from a week of unlimited diving in Marsa Shagra.

The Red Sea in January is around 23 degrees near the shore so we managed to get away with just using one wetsuit on most dives. Marsa Shagra has a lot of turtles and one or two resident reef sharks which ocassionally come in to view. A trip out to nearby Marsa Abu Dabab provided a turtle frenzy and we also spotted a Ghost Pipefish trying to hide in amongst the sea grass.

We are now looking forward to the UK dive season, fingers crossed for some great weather this year.
