Amazing scuba trip in Lundy with The Ride Travel
Amazing scuba trip in Lundy with The Ride. Still cant believe how many seals we saw, and how playful they were with us. Cannot recommend The Ride, or Dom the host, more. It was a fantastic couple of days with a great group of people, and got some great pics. Highly recommended and hope to come on more trips soon!
The Ride Travel is a gem 💎
It’s really hard to recreate the feeling of travelling when you’re close to home, and even harder to get a group of 10 near strangers to gel in 48 hours but somehow Dom made it look easy. Great trip, great diving, could not recommend more 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Where You’ll Stay & Dive From
We’ll be based at Ocean Backpackers, a small, well-rated hostel in the heart of Ilfracombe. It’s clean, comfortable, calm and rated 8.4 on Booking.com.
Everything is on our doorstep: cafés, pubs, shops and the harbour, with the port just a short walk away for an easy start on dive day.
Diving is done from a comfortable catamaran run by Ilfracombe’s top dive boat charter. The boat is fully set up for divers, with an onboard toilet and a proper dive lift, making entries and exits easy.
Simple, practical and well-run, so you can focus on the diving, not the logistics.
