Lundy Camping & Seals!
Details
Lundy Island is located in the Bristol Channel where the clear oceanic waters from the Gulf Stream mix with the clear warmer waters from the Mediterranean. There are over 40 dive sites around the island with a mix of wrecks, reefs, drop-offs, and pinnacles. You can also dive with the seals which are extremely friendly. We are aiming for 2 Seal dives (1 each day), a dive on The MV Robert wreck and another dive on The Pinnacles - these are weather/tide dependent so may change. However, the Seal dives are an absolute definate!

We have booked 2 days of diving with Hi Ho Charters of Ilfracombe with 2 nights accommodation in Ilfracombe. PLEASE BE AWARE THIS IS TENT CAMPING ACCOMMODATION. We have tents to provide for the weekend, but please let us know if you'd prefer to take your own (there maybe a small extra charge for this if we need an extra pitch), you'll need to bring your own sleeping stuff. If you do not want to camp you can book alternative accommodation, however, this does not discount the trip as we are still paying for camping accommodation spaces - please let us know when you've booked if you are not camping.
