Discover Local Diving
This program is designed to meet your needs as a diver. It is my main aim to encourage divers to dive here in the UK. I have instructed and dived in a variety of locations around the world including GBR Australia, Maldives, Thailand, Central America and, of course, here in the UK. I understand the problems divers face when they try to dive in the UK. One of the problems is the cold. Believe it or not the sea temperature here in Swanage reached 19c this summer. Another problem is the visibility. This just adds to the challenge and highlights the smaller inhabitants of our seas. The visibility can reach up to 10-15m.
