Welcome to HMS NORTHUMBERLAND

Mid June saw the arrival of the HMS NORTHUMBERLAND  and we were pleased to help with diving for certified divers and courses for beginners.

             2 very important people ........the Captain and the Chef

Several of our dive sites were visited  , including SHARK BANK, GROUPER and BAY TERNAY MARINE PARK

           Group photo of divers, students  and Underwater Centre staff

The WHITE  ENSIGEN  flag  was proudly dispalyed at the Dive Centre and then  taken underwater for a   group photo of all assembled  ships divers

Since leaving Seychelles the ship reports that they have seen several WHALE SHARKS  in a large group that counted  over 30 !  This is great news as these sharks will soon be arriving in Seychelles waters for the September and October  Marine Conservation Society research program
