Poor visibility mars Christmas Day dive

DIVERS took up a once-a-year opportunity to venture under the water in St Peter Port Harbour, although bad visibility meant there were no significant finds.

It is the only day in the year when diving is allowed in the area because there is no commercial shipping.

It was estimated that 30 people went in.

Craig Collins, 30, took part with Dive Guernsey and it was the second year he had attempted the Christmas dive.

'There was about three metres' visibility, but it is more about just taking part,' he said.
