Already Qualified?

Awesome! You’re one step close to diving with us.

As a BSAC member you are insured to dive with us worldwide within the limits of your current qualification, without any further lessons. If you wish to advance your training you can continue onto the next level with BSAC (UK’s national governing body of SCUBA diving).

Isn’t it cold?

Due to relatively cold water in the UK we typically use drysuits, you wear normal clothes underneath and no water gets in (in theory). Air is 25 times better at insulating than water so you can imagine you stay pretty warm compared to a wetsuit. Drysuits are available for hire to members, if you’ve never used one before lessons are included in our Ocean Diver and Sports Diver courses.

Can I just learn Drysuit by itself?

Yes! We run a drysuit course at the start of term 1 for those who are already qualified and want to be able to come on our fun trips throughout the year.

Sign up for term 1 drysuit training

If you want to do standalone drysuit training at another time in the year, contact us and we’ll arrange lessons.
