As we step into a new year, everyone at Staffordshire Divers would like to wish you a very Happy New Year. This year feels particularly special. We started as a small group of just 5 divers, and through shared passion, hard work, and a strong sense of community, we have grown to close to 40 members. That growth is entirely down to the people who give their time, enthusiasm, and support to the club. From pool sessions and training milestones to quarry days, sea dives, and plenty of laughs along the way, the past year has been one to be proud of. We are a friendly, non-profit diving club based in Stafford, welcoming new and experienced divers alike. The year ahead brings more training, more adventures, and more opportunities to get in the water together as the Divers in Orange. If you have ever thought about trying diving or getting back into it, this could be your year. Here’s to a safe, adventurous, and exciting year of diving ahead. We are already seeing an incredible start to the year, with a fantastic number of try divers booked in. It is great to see so many people keen to take their first steps into the underwater world, and we cannot wait to welcome each of them into the diving family, introduce them to the sport, and share the passion that has helped our club grow. #staffordshiredivers #stafforddivers #diversinorange

The dive site was Taliarte, in Gran Canaria. Absolutely loaded with octopus, massive rays passing through, an incredible angel shark sighting, and a couple of cuttlefish to finish it off. Proper Gran Canaria diving at its best. Another reminder of why we love getting underwater together as a club. #staffordshiredivers #stafforddivers #granCanaria #scubadiving #diversinorange

Did you know one of Gran Canaria’s most famous dive sites literally translates to “The B*stard”? It’s called El Cabrón, and it’s widely regarded as one of the best shore dives in the Canary Islands. Volcanic rock formations, swim-throughs, incredible marine life, and year-round diving conditions make it a favourite with divers of all levels. This is exactly the kind of diving our members enjoy on club trips – relaxed, adventurous, and packed with underwater surprises. If you’ve ever thought about learning to dive, improving your skills, or joining a friendly non-profit club that dives both in the UK and abroad, come and have a chat with us. We’re always happy to talk diving.

Well done to Morgan, on completing her next qualification and increasing her max depth to 30 metres. Well done and in perfect time for the trip to Egypt. Tomorrow we are taking 2 divers to complete their first qualification level.

Today we pause to remember. To all who served, all who sacrificed, and all who never returned – we thank you. From the ocean depths to the skies above, courage and duty have shaped our freedom. We honour the bravery of those who stood for others, and we remember them always. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning… we will remember them. Lest we forget. #staffordshiredivers #stafforddivers

Out at Dosthill today with the BSAC West Midlands Regional Coaching Team delivering an open-water Buoyancy and Trim workshop 🤿 Huge well done to all the divers taking part – brilliant attitudes, solid progress, and some great improvements in control and trim. Fantastic to see everything coming together in real-world conditions 👌 Proud that one of our instructors is part of the regional coaching team, helping develop divers across the region and bring that experience back to our club too. See you all back in Stafford soon – and looking forward to seeing that slick trim on future dives 😎 #staffordshiredivers #stafforddivers #BSAC #Dosthill #BuoyancyAndTrim #DiverTraining #ScubaUK #WestMidlandsDiving
