Location description: About Club
A Plymouth diving centre isn`t complete without a club, and we`ve got it just right. For those that pass their first course we strongly recommend joining. Our dive club isn`t like the others we don`t solely promote our own boats, and we`re open to all :- BSAC, PADI, whatever... With weekend family days and beach barbecues around the Plymouth area, to frequently organised evening shore dives, our club divers can hire kit and dive for the price of an air fill £1!!! Of course if you do want to boat dive we`ll give you a discount on the boats. Our evening boat dives are just £12.50 to dive club members.

Some about Dive Sites
Firestone Bay & Eastern Kings
If the Viz were better these would be some of the best dives in the country. They are very tide dependant and require almost exact timing to do safely. But once down you are treated to 40m walls carpeted in feather stars in gorgeous pinks and oranges. Thornbacks are often found at the bottom. Congers in some of the holes with lobsters and crabs in others, and shoals of various fish sometimes in vast numbers.
Le Poulmic
Glen Strath Allen
HMS Abelard
and so on.
