Grab your mask and fins and come on down to Portland for the weekend and log some of your first UK dives!
This is a specially constructed weekend for those who want to dip their toe in UK waters for the first time, gain some UK experience or maybe take a nice easy shallow dive for the first dive of the season.
The trips are Instructor accompanied and designed to help you find your fins and gain confidence. They are NOT training weekends and no course teaching will take place on the trip. We are here to help you gain confidence in UK waters. This is your chance to ask questions, learn boat etiquette, try new kit etc. No question is too silly and no request for help or advice will be scowled upon.
The maximum depth on this trip will be 18m. We use a local skipper who is both knowledgeable and supportive. We dive from a RIB which gives us more flexibility and come back to shore between dives, so you only need to bring one tank with you. This trip is not club specific, it is open to anyone with a dive qualification.
Accommodation and breakfast IS INCLUDED in the price and will be at The Royal Breakwater Hotel which is directly opposite the filling station and boat jetty. Most of the rooms are twin rooms. They serve good food and beer in the evening and a hearty breakfast with free parking outside! So, two night’s accommodation (Fri & Sat) and four boat dives and the chance to log your first UK dives on some of the best shallow wrecks on the south coast!
Cost of diving and accommodation (B&B) is £185 for 2 days, all you need is beer and evening meal money and fills. A £75 deposit is required to book a place on the trip. Cancellation Policy: £75 deposit refunded only if place filled. Full payment, so balance of £110 is required 6 weeks before the weekend, non-refundable unless a replacement is found.
