Sunstar Trips: 2004

Here you will find some details of the diving we did in 2004. Maybe there will be maps available in due course to show you where these places are! Clicking on the headings or the pictures will take you the photo gallery for that trip.

Red Sea Liveaboard - December 10th-17th
Dolphin Another end-of-season trip to the Red Sea on the Golden One liveaboard sailing from Hurghada. The route was the northern one taking in the Carnatic, Giannis D, Dunraven, Thistlegorm, Kingston and El Minah as well as a variety of reef dives. Unfortunately the windy weather meant we missed out on the Rosalie Moller. The photo gallery includes a map showing the route taken. A few were lucky enough to meet some dolphins!
  
Plymouth - Scylla - October 2nd-3rd
Well the intention was to dive the Scylla whilst she is still fairly naked (from a wildlife perspective) but we were unfortunate with the weather. We ended up with a drift dive inside the headland and dive on the fort just inside the breakwater.
  
Malaysia and Indonesia Oct '04
Rob & Dawn headed off to the far east for some land-based and liveaboard diving in Malaysia and Indonesia
  
Farne Islands - September 16th-20th
Farnes04 Although the weather wasn't promising we had an enjoyable trip to the Farnes and duly got nibbled by the seals. The strong offshore winds restricted us to sites on the outer side of the outer Farnes, and we dived Friday through Sunday. The forecast 70-90mph winds precluded any diving on the Monday.
  

Weybourne in July and August

Weybourne A weekend trip in July to dive the Rosalie and the nearby gullies. The was repeated in August.
  
Lyme Bay - June 5th and 6th
Lyme Bay Another enjoyable trip diving from "Miss Pattie" with John Walker. This time we managed to dive the St Dunstan and the Gibel Haman along with repeat dives on the Baygitano and the Tesco Ledges.
  

Pembroke

Wales The beginning of July saw a long weekend trip to Pembroke. Unfortunately we were unlucky with the weather and most of the diving was blown out. However at the end there was an opportunity to see something of the underwater scenery.
  

Gozo - May 20th-29th

The end of May saw the trip to Gozo. Once again a very enjoyable time for those that went.
  
Dorset
The year started with a full trip to Dorset to dive Swanage Pier, Lulworth Banks and Worbarrow Tout.
