Great viz and strong sunlight transforms the shallows at Vobster Quay. Stunning rays of light cut through the water creating beautiful dappling effects and stunning silhouettes.

Shot yesterday with Vobster regular Kenni Purrdy-Artcat Maidment on modelling duties, this photo from pro photographer Jason Brown really shows off how beautiful the lake can be this time of year - but how many of us ever bother to look up at the surface when we're on a dive? You'd be surprised by what you're missing!

We're open all this weekend including bank holiday Monday so why not pop along for a dive?

Broken your googles, forgotten your trunks, water in your ears, or need a warmer head?

We now have open water swimming googles, hats, clips and shorts in stock at Vobster for your every swimming need. We have a small range of tri suits in stock for the beginners, and hope to have hire suits available shortly.

Well everyone keeps asking, so here are the stats:

Viz at 6m, 10 to 15m+

Viz at the bottom 5 to 10m

Surface Temp is 11.8 deg

Temp at 20m is 8 deg

All the more reason to come for a cheeky after work dive now that we are open every Thursday until 9.30pm.

See you soon

We were recently thrilled to host Sport Diver magazine's very own Mark Richard Evans when he visited Vobster Quay to take part in the UK's very first training course for the new Hollis Explorer Sport Rebreather.

Under the watchful eye of IANTD instructor Tim Clements, Mark became the very first diver here in the UK to achieve certification on this exciting new unit. You can read all about Mark's experiences in the brand new issue of Sport Diver magazine which is available now from all good newsagents and - of course - the Vobster shop!

There's more info on the Hollis Explorer on our website - http://www.vobster.com/explorer

Yes folks, it's Thursday again and that can mean only one thing - we'll once again be leaving our gates open after hours today for another of our popular weekly Thursday evening dive sessions!

Each and every week between now and the end of October we'll be keeping the gates open between 5:00pm and 9:30pm for those who fancy a cheeky post-work dive or swim. We'll also be laying on a BBQ for those of you who fancy a tasty post-dive culinary treat (weather pending, of course - no one likes soggy baps!).

If you're a diver then you can also benefit from discounted entry - member divers pay only £7.50 whilst non-members pay only £9.00. See you all at the waterside!

Got a GoPro camera? Then don't miss out on this opportunity to try the fabulous GoPro Video Lighting system from Light For Me on your next visit to Vobster Quay! Featuring a pair of powerful video lights mounted on a clever 'Goodman' style handle, this plucky little system will bring your underwater videos to life.

Note that the demo unit doesn't include a camera (just the mount) so bring your own GoPro!

We expect demand to be strong so don't forget to reserve your 'try dive' on the GoPro lighting system before your visit. If you'd like to buy your own, it's available for £283.00 (without bag) either online or via the Vobster shop...
