Dive Trips

The next dives trips I am organizing are for God’s Pocket in 2026. Those who have participated in trips with me previously have first priority for signing up.

Last updated on March 11, 2026

  • The Easter 2026 trip is full.
  • The October 2026 trip is full.

If you are interested in being on the waiting list for future trips, please, after reading the information below, contact me via this link.

In that email include:

  1. Background on your dive certification.
  2. Number of cold water dives dives to date.
  3. Date of last cold water dive (and for the October 2026 trip how many cold water dives you anticipate you would do between now and October 2026).
  4. A statement about having read the information on this page about dive ethics and skills.
  5. That you agree to the conditions expressed on this page including that if the Dive Master were to determine that a diver should not dive that the dive(s) would proceed without that diver, and there would be no refund (see below).

Note that divers on my trips must (1) be highly experienced with cold water diving and diving in current; (2) have dived recently in cold water; and (3) share a strict no take / no touch ethic e.g there will be no targeting sea lions for diving nor feeding any marine life. Further Marine Mammal Regulations will be strictly adhered to.

Were it to be that the Dive Master determines that a diver should not dive (be it due to skill level, experience, illness and/or equipment issues), the dive(s) would proceed without that diver, and there would be no refund.

If you share the ethics, skills and joy of diving, you know why I am emphasizing these points. You can also imagine the experiences that have made it necessary for me to be so explicit. 😊 My motivation to organize these trips is so that I can dive in a group of buddies that are safe, skilled, respectful of nature, and otherwise are generally good humans. 

God’s Pocket’s vessel, the Hurst Isle. Yep, it has an elevator.
