Our program of weekend (and other) dives throughout the 2008 dive season.

We have a variety of dives available, from those suitable for Open Water Diver (or equivalent) to dives
which are more suitable for those with Advanced Open Water Diver (or equivalent) certification and
above.

There will also be dives for more experienced divers, and these are marked as AOW+.

Please familiarise yourself with the terms and conditions below as these will apply to any booking made with us. For further information, please call us or e-mail us by clicking here.

To book any dives, please call on 02392 698 700 with your credit card details ready. Full payment is required at the time of booking and is not refundable unless the dive is cancelled by us.

• important notes

Our pricing is based either a single dive or a two dive day and is calculated on filling single spaces rather than "whole boat" charter costs. The price for a two dive day is the same regardless of distance out.

The time shown in the table below is the TIME THE BOAT WILL LEAVE. You should allow at least 30 minutes prior to this time to park your car and load you kit aboard the boat. If you are not on the boat at the time stated it will leave without you and you will forfeit the trip cost (as per our terms and conditions below - para. 15.)
