Intro to UK Diving Portland Weekend

17/09/2022 - 18/09/2022

£300

These weekends are designed as a shallow dive weekend for those recently certified, or warm water divers who are new to UK waters to log their first UK Sea dives. The maximum depth will be 18m.

It is suggested that divers are drysuit trained, although a warm wetsuit is possible in the summer months, and have deployed a DSMB. They will be accompanied by an experienced diver on the boat who will happily answer any questions and provide advice …. there is no such thing as a ‘stupid’ question!

The weekend will consist of 4 dives, and 2 nights B&B overnight in twin rooms on Friday & Saturday at the Hotel Aqua in Portland.

We will be diving with Dive Beyond who have two 7.9m ribs of their own. And YES their ribs have ladders so you don’t have to do the less than elegant rib-wriggle to get back on board. Portland has some of the finest diving in the UK with hundreds of dive sites.

Dive sites will be decided nearer the time, but they will be in and around the harbour area. We hope to get out to dive the Black Hawk, a shallow wreck with lots of life, including lobster, tom-pot blennies, nudibranchs and cuckoo wrasse. Weather permitting, we’ll show you how to dive for Scallops, how to spot Nudibranchs and snoop out the elusive but beautiful Conger Eels.
