Vectis Expeditions organised some citizen science dives, searching for remnant native flat oyster populations around the Solent on a number of different wrecks and reefs. We were very pleased to have volunteer divers from project partners BLUE Marine Foundation and also a scientist based at the University of Portsmouth marine laboratory to help guide us on a dive on the BLUE Marine reef project.

Continuing on from the earlier weeks diving, the mostly new dive team set off once again to explore the Sound of Mull area. Travelling from the all over the UK between Orkney and the Isle of Wight to get to there, the team kicked off the week with a meal in "The Oyster Inn at Connel", which given some of the project objectives seemed very appropriate.
