Barracuda Premier Dive School


	Destination		Lundy Island, Bristol Channel— Historic island off the North Devon Coast. Britain's ONLY Marine Nature Reserve!
	Dates		June 16th to 19th, 2007. The charter dive-boat will sail on the morning of the 16th and we plan to return mid-morning on the 19th. (Precise times and port still to be arranged).
	Diving arrangements		Changing rooms and air-fill facilities on the island. A local dive boat (the ‘Obsession’) has been chartered for our daily needs and the skipper has local knowledge of the best dive sites.
	Accommodation		We will be staying in The Barn, one of many charming properties on the island converted for visitor use, with the added advantage of being very close to the island’s shop and to the centre of its community— The Marisco Tavern! The tavern is an excellent base to relax or to plan dives as well as having a really good restaurant too for those who do not wish to self-cater.
	Cost		£220 per person, which includes the charter dive-boat hire, accommodation and diving.
	What you need		To be a qualified diver (bring your card). Dive equipment is available to hire from Barracuda beforehand if required. PLEASE NOTE that there is no dive centre on the island; we need to take everything with us!

Barracuda is delighted to announce that in June we will be running a diving trip to the delightful, remote and unspoilt Lundy Island. Only three miles long and a quarter to a half mile wide this granite island sits at the mouth of the Bristol Channel off the North Devon coast. Running North/South the island has a spectacular, rugged West Coast due to its exposure to Atlantic storms, and in contrast a gentle East Coast very different in its flora and fauna on land and in the sea. Due to the clean waters and variety of habitats around the island there is a tremendous variety of rare and common sea life to be seen ranging from the friendly seals, jewel anemones, rare corals and sea fans to basking sharks if you are lucky. Because of this fantastic concentration of marine life, the island has for a number of years been designated as Britain’s ONLY Marine Nature Reserve.

Wrecks
Because of its position across the Bristol Channel, Lundy has taken a terrible toll on shipping over the centuries. Ships ranging from tall masted sailing ships, to freighters and even in 1906 the HMS Montagu, a battleship have come to grief there. In total, some 137 wrecks have been recorded around the island and there are several that we may visit subject to conditions, the wishes of the party as a whole and the guidance of our skipper.
