We specialise in introductory diving - you are in very safe and professional hands with an extremely high ratio of diver to instructor for your first time dive(usually 2:1 but even 1:1 if needed !) . Cert divers are also well looked after with small groups + a free guide to ensure you get the most our of your dive! Or if you prefer you can go off exploring with your buddy . All our dive gear is top class and included in the price of the dive.

Enjoy a scrumptious lunch and on the sail home sit back and relax with some nibblies and a complimentary glass of wine !
