About this trip

ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT FOR 20 AUGUST, NO OTHER SPOTS OR DATES REMAINING 


Have you always wanted to swim with seals, meet like-minded ocean-loving females and explore more of the beautiful UK coastline and wildlife? This Lundy island trip is the ultimate ocean girls day out! Girls that Scuba is the world's largest female dive community, we run trips around the world, and love connecting women with each other! We run these swim with seals trips each year, and can't wait to return to the seals and wildlife of Lundy island for another summer!


Perfect for: Solo females, or friends, looking to explore, swim and meet more female ocean friends as well as discover this hidden-away paradise island in the UK. Mixed trips - for males and females - are 19th June and 26th June


Requirements: You do not need to be scuba dive certified. You should be a confident swimmer. Under 16's must be accompanied by an adult.

Logistics

The trip starts and ends at Ilfracombe Harbour (carpark is EX34 9EQ) you will need to arrive at 8:30am on the day of your trip.


Trip duration is usually 8 hours depending on tide and weather. Trips are planned around the tides and with this, in mind start, times vary slightly, according to the state of the tide on the day. We leave at 09:00 and aim to arrive back around 5.


If you are not from the local area, it may be nice to stay in Ilfracombe overnight rather than driving back after a long day on the boat - there are usually other Girls that Scuba guests that do this, so you can all have dinner together in Ilfracombe.

You will need

  • Your own packed lunch/snacks/waterbottle Reef-safe suncream
  • Warm clothes for the boat ride
  • A set of dry clothes to change into to walk on the island - no particular shoes are necessary 
  • If you want to duck dive/free dive you will need your own weight belt with weight
  • Seasickness tablets if you get seasick
  • If you have your own gear bring along: Wetsuit, mask, snorkel, fins. A 5mm wetsuit is recommended plus a hood and gloves if you have them

Weather Cancellation - PLEASE READ

Please note these trips are subject to weather. The ocean can be choppy in the Bristol channel and the crossing from Ilfracombe to Lundy can sometimes be a rough ride. The captain will aim to make the final call on any weather issues 48 hours before the trip - however, this isn't always achievable due to how quickly the weather changes.  We should also get a better forecast 7 days before the trip, so aim to keep you informed via email of any potential changes in advance. If your trip is cancelled because of bad weather we will re-schedule the trip or we will offer you a full refund (please note, this is only if the whole trip is cancelled due to weather). Please keep this in mind if booking accommodation - it is best to book accommodation that doesn't require full upfront payments or allow cancellation.

Cancellation

Full payment is required to book. Your cancellation options - because of any reason - are:

30 days before the trip - no refund

31 days before the trip 50% refund 

Your Hosts

18th  & 19th June: Sarah Richard, founder of Girls that Scuba.

It was an amazing time. So great to meet fellow divers from around the world meeting up to do something we love. I would recommend the Red Sea. An amazing bucket list trip,

The most luxurious liveaboard so far with GTS. As usual - a very fun group of like minded ladies who are all here #1 for the diving. No drama, good food, the pool, the spa!!!, Whalesharks on two nights, mantas, eagle rays, all of the turtles and other sharky friends. Now I want to do Central & South Atolls! I've developed a fab group of friends from these trips and keep going back for more.

We had a memorable and glorious time in the Maldives on the White Pearl. Great crew, delicious food and first-rate accomodations. Girls That Scuba were amazing hosts,as always, and the other divers, who are such characters made it so fun, you looked forward to every dive. Thanks to all who made this trip so enjoyable.

An amazing experience! When I booked the Maldives trip I called it my ‘Once in a lifetime’ trip. Thanks to the incredible accommodations, beautiful diving, and delightful fellowship with other women divers, it’s now my ‘first in a lifetime trip’ - I have 2 more GTS trips booked!

This was the dive trip of a lifetime! Beautifully organized. Girls That Scuba is a superb group and always does the best job. The boat was gorgeous, beautifully appointed and cared for. The crew--dive guides, food prep, mechanics, boat captains, bartenders, cleaners, spa workers--all fabulous, super professional and extremely polite and friendly. I cannot recommend the organizers enough!
