Normandy 21st - 25th June 2010

This trip will be a maximum of 35m. We will be leaving Brighton Marina on Monday morning and traveling to France with Channel Diving. Parking at Brighton is free for the week. On Monday we will be doing one dive before arriving at Port En Bessin on the French Coast. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be diving from Port En Bessin with two dives each day. On Friday (last day) we will leave Port En Bessin to do one last dive before returning back to England. Port en Bessin is a small fishing village situated to the south west of the Bay de Seine in between the landing beaches of Gold & Omaha & the famous cliffs of Pointe Du Hoc where the American Rangers went ashore to destroy the gun batteries and took a battering themselves. The harbour is mainly a fishing port with a large fleet of French fishing trawlers operating from it, they go out daily and returning the same day to land their catch of fresh fish to the market. This is the best port around the Normandy coast line. If we can't get out for the day's diving this is an area that has plenty to do, with museums about the allied invasion and has some great restaurants with great food. more...
