Scuba Blue are a Somerset based dive centre. We run dive trips and training courses for everyone. We adore all types of diving but especially UK Scuba Diving. We have a very active Dive Club and can be found diving or training most weeks of the year !
sir the reason why your channel is not getting views is because you don't give proper channel tags and video tags in your videos and your videos are not seo.
Great video. Few bits of info for you from a local boy. 1) the road down to the beach at babbacombe is steep, windy, and suffers with subsidence. At the moment it is occasionally closed for repair. Check the council website. It is a very long steep walk down if the road is or becomes inaccessible. 2) The car park is privately owned nothing to do with Torbay Council. It takes coins only. 3) there used to be a toilet block there, but this has been locked for some time. Toilets in the pub after or before you go down to the beach on the downs at the top. 4) seals frequent this area often, unfortunately the public regularly feed them during the summer season- so they will come looking. They are generally friendly but can sometimes get a little territorial. 5) On your video there is a shot of Oddicombe. This is the beach on the other side of Babbacombe Bay. There is no car parking at the bottom and it’s used regularly by the sailing club there. The cliffs are unstable in that area. 6) The Cary Arms offers a mooring up service, so be aware of boat traffic coming in and out; particularly during the season. 7) Your nearest air fill is probably teign dive centre- unless you are going to head to Brixham. (Brixham dive shack). 8) That can be quite a lot of metal on the seabed here, old chains, steel panels etc. Sometimes these have sharp edges. 9) If you do swim around the wall, there is likely to be a lot of fishing line and gear there. It wouldn’t be unthinkable to have 5 to 10 people fishing off the wall. 10) Several dive schools use the site Regularly, so it would be a nice courtesy to the instructors to let them know where you’re likely to be heading. Hope this is helpful.
Hi. planning to dive the site tomorrow and just wondering if you would advise diving under an SMB for the whole dive given the boat traffic that is mentioned in the video. Cheers
Thanks for the vid. Very useful, I’m a new diver who lives in the southwest and looking forward to exploring. Babbacombe is one of the first I intend to do 😊
Hi Dave, so sorry for the slow reply....we didn't get any notifications of these comments so have only just seen them. You will LOVE "Babby"....so much to see and so easy.....give us a shout if you see us !!
Thanks so much Chloe, these comments mean so much....I hadn't seen them so so sorry for the delay in replying !! We got so busy when lockdown lifted the first time that we haven't had time to do any more yet but we WILL be doing some more....now that we have just been put into tier 4 it might be a perfect opportunity to crack on !!
Thanks so much James...it's always a little nerve wracking putting a vid up on youtube so it is lovely to get positive feedback !! Sorry for the late reply, we have only just seen the comments !!
Hi Dan, So sorry for late reply....as mentioned in the other replies we hadn't received any notifications and have only just seen the comments !! I imagine you will have dived Babby by now....hope you enjoyed it !!

Thanks for another cracking video! Worth noting that there is a live webcam at the Bistro (currently not working at time of writing) that is handy for checking sea conditions www.camsecure.co.uk/brixham_breakwater.html
Thanks so much for the lovely comment, as I said in the other replies, we had not received any notifications of these comments so huge apologies for the late reply !! Great tip about the webcam in the Bistro !! If you see us at Brixham, or anywhere...come and say hi !!
Thanks so much Mike, it was Vicks my other half that did the map...no chance of me being able to draw that ha ha !! One of the reasons we did it was that there seem to be loads of instructions for diving various shore dives online but I struggle to take it off a page...it is always so much easier to hear it from someone I find !! More coming soon and hopefully we might get to dive together at some point !!
Thanks so much for the kind comment, from memory I think it is a few quid for the whole day during the winter but no doubt that goes up in the summer. I will check when I am next down there and let you know !!
Great video guys, I'm yet to dive this site but as soon as these restrictions are lifted I'll be making sure to visit. Thanks for the valuable info and I'm looking forward to more sites 😁👌
