PEAKE UNDER THE SEA
Please book in advance Five Acres,
Allet 7.00pm
Experienced underwater photographer
Dave Peake has been diving around South East Cornwall for many years,
but his favourite dive site is Polhawn Cove, hidden away in the eastern
corner of the magnificent Whitsand Bay. His long-term observations of
the area have proved it to be a gem of marine biodiversity. However, recent
changes in the environment have caused concern for its rich marine life.
Dave's pictures will demonstrate the wonders of the marine life and he
will present his video and slides of the effects of recent changes in
this area at a talk. Contact Tricia Nicholson (01872) 273939.
