We offer SCUBA trips and SCUBA training all year round. We welcome new starters <i>and</i> qualified divers from all diving agencies (BSAC, PADI, NAUI, SAA, SSAC etc.). We aim to organise excellent SCUBA diving in the UK and abroad all year round.<br><br> For those who need scuba training we offer the full range of BSAC diving qualifications.<br><br> We take pride in the quality and safety of our dive leadership and SCUBA instruction.<br><br> <p> If you already have a diving qualification then going diving is easy. Whether you trained with BSAC or elsewhere, you are welcome. If you qualified through another agency (PADI, NAUI, SAA, SSAC etc.) there is a simple <a href="./crossover.html">cross-over</a> arrangement, which will give you an equivalent BSAC diving grade.
