Does anybody know of any good dive set up's in the channel islands?

Looking to do a week out there later this year (around end of July/Early
Aug)

Many thanks

Ian

AFAIK there is only one 'set up' here in Jersey. It's at Bouley Bay (JFGI)

I just got back from a week diving on Sark with Sark Diving Services
http://www.sarkci.com/ - as far as Sark goes they're it. Well, he's it,
since it's basically Andy, a hugely experienced local pro, and his (hard)
boat Starfish of Sark. He knows the place (and its bizarre currents)
backwards, and offers tanks, wieghts and fills - air & nitrox. Bring your
own gear.

Sark itself is great - if you're attracted by the idea of no cars, 1hr walk
from end to end, fantastic views and good food.

Happy to go on at greater length if you're interested...

Dry suit? Just interested as I haven't yet plucked up courage to go
swimming here in Jersey and our dive-centres haven't really got going
yet, either.

How did you get there? Where did you stay?

Yeah, dry suit - it was 12deg all the time. Two of us had semi-drys and were
fine at first, but got cold after a few days.

Andy / Sark Diving Services ferried us over from Guernsey - so we got to
leave the gear in his boat thereafter and not cart it around - hooray! He
also provided accomodation - he has a big cottage which sleeps 8 I think.
It's a kind of all-in deal. But there are lots of other place to stay from
the cheap(ish) to the costly. Check out the tourist info site
www.sark.info - there aren't so many that you'll find different answers
elsewhere.

There's a regular ferry as well from Guernsey and no doubt Jersey too.
