everything you need ....
Ideally situated in the centre of Southsea, our dive centre is a hub of activity throughout the year. One of the busiest and fastest growing centres in the South, we are also the only PADI Vocational Centre and Project Aware Official Partner in the area. The Dive Centre looks small on the outside, but once inside, it opens up into a multi-level centre with a full retail shop, classrooms, storage areas and other facilities.
more friends ....
There is always a friendly welcome whenever you come in and many of our friends and customers regularly pop by for a chat and a cup of coffee, so don't be worried that it looks too busy - they are just being sociable. The dive centre is a bit more like a community than a shop and we like all of our customers and students to feel a part of the family. Click on the link on the right to see what some of our customers say about us.
more equipment ....
There is loads to look at in the dive centre so if you have never had the guided tour just ask - one of our stafff will be delighted to show you around. In
the basement we have the majority of our equipment sales. You will find
wetsuits, drysuits, BCDs, gloves, boots and hoods all from leading manufacturers. We have a wide selection of equipment from major manufacturers. Even if you can't find it, the chances are we can get it for you.
better facilities ....
On
the ground floor we have the main shop where you will find most of the accessories
and gadgets you need, plus a huge selection of regulators, gauges, computers
and torches, again from leading manufacturers. The ground floor is also
where our workshop is located. Servicing is undertaken on-site, rather
than being passed to a third party and a qualified technician is always available
for advice or equipment "tweaking". Towards the back of the
ground floor is our dry kit room, wet room and compressor area. We have
huge amount of top quality Scubapro gear for students on courses and for hire
by qualified divers. With more than 40 wetsuits, 20 drysuits, 20 regulators
and BCDs, and 40 cylinders, we rarely run out but it helps us if you let us
know in advance if you are coming in to pick up some gear.
Our
compressor and bank system provides 300 Bar air, nitrox up to 100% and trimix
fills. Air fills can be done while you wait, and while we can also do
nitrox and trimix while you wait as well, we prefer it if you can leave the
cylinder with us overnight. If you need fills out of hours, just let
us know in advance and we will do what we can to help.
Finally
onto the third floor, which houses our classroom, the nerve centre, the kitchen
and the shower facilities. We have a spacious classroom with the latest
teaching aids as well as a fully functioning kitchen (which doubles as a communal
gathering site for club members and students!) When we say we have everything
including the kitchen sink, we really mean it!
