We welcome divers from other agencies!
Based on the edge of the Lake District we visit a variety of sites. Lakes like Coniston and Wastwater, Farne Islands, St Abbs, Sound of Mull, Scapa Flow, Red Sea and many more. If it looks interesting, then we’d like to dive it!
We have a compressor and gas room with Nitrox & Trimix and with a number of experienced instructors and divers, we can help you achieve your diving dreams!

Sport England helps increase our Training
The new equipment has been seeing lots of use with new Ocean Divers qualifying and more starting out on their diving journey. New Sports Divers are undergoing training and we already have a busy program of try dives.
For the autumn and winter months we are increasing our pool sessions to two per month – the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month starting in October! We are sharing our pool and training facilities with Lunesdale club who have already helped by running a sports diver lesson for two of our divers!
