Which dive option

I seem to have a few options for the weekend, assuming that the weather gods are feeling generous. It is 150 miles from Bedfordshire to Swanage and I have to do this as a round trip.

I voted option 2

The Kyarra is a great dive but the vis has been less than 1m recently which means you are likley to dive it Braille stylee, there is unlikley to be any ambient light whereas the fleur doesn't take long to explore but at least you can drift off and get a couple of drift dives and at those depths you may actually see something... unless of course you wanted to rummage for perfume or watches in which case you won't see anything anyway

we did the fleur . i enjoyed it and it was my first sea dive
so easy start. then we did a drift dive
to be honest that was the better dive

i guess its your choice after all

hope you have a great day what ever you decide

Drift dives are ace. The feeling of flying is second to none, and the feeling of "I'm going to hit that rock, I'm going to hit it... oh my GOD! Hang on, I'm rising... wow I'm flying over the top of it, interesting!" is an experience.

So you might have guessed that I voted for option 2
