Try Dive

If you are reading this page you have most likely been thinking for some time what it must be like to scuba dive,  to experience weightlessness, explore a 17th-century wreck or swim with seals.

Well, you have come to the right place and our Try Dives are a great way to discover why scuba diving is such a fun and amazing sport.

You will be paired with one of our experienced dive instructors. Following a safety brief, the instructor will introduce you to the dive equipment, help you kit up and then safely and progressively allow you to experience the thrill of swimming underwater using self-contained breathing apparatus (scuba)

How much?

Do I need to book?
