Plymouth's Diving is some of the best in the country, rivaled only by the likes of Scapa Flow in the Orkney's.
We have more wrecks per mile of coastline around Plymouth than anywhere else in the rest of the world, and as such the diving here is extremely varied. From gentle reef, to stark amazing drop offs consisting of granite boulders and cliffs falling away to extreme depths. As Plymouth Divers we are extremely lucky to have such awesome conditions consisting of an average of 5-8m visability inshore, extending to 30m+ on our offshore sites.
At Aquanauts, we have created a working dive centre in the heart of Plymouth that should be able to cater for all your diving needs.
The centre is located on an ideal site in the Barbican area of Plymouth's city centre, next to the pontoons where our boat is moored. Our pool is located in a large property in Derriford on the outskirts of Plymouth and our facilities include a purpose built 3m deep pool, sauna, shop, lecture room, large equipment store, and the all important refreshments fridge. We have 30 sets of equipment, 2 boats, torches, video equipment , first aid kits and emergency oxygen. We also run a non-profit making club with over 150 well looked after members.
Tony is one of our senior Dive Masters. He gets great pleasure from introducing new people to the underwater realm and performs many of our 'Try Dive' sessions.
Kirstie is completely Aquanauts trained . She is a keen UK diver but has also dived in Indonesia, the Canaries and Greek Islands. She recently earned her Assistant Instructor qualification, but still prefers to be thought of as a 'Dive Mistress'. A keen and published photographer and Seasearcher, she'd rather eat spider crabs than pet them.
Andy started diving in 1997 with the BSAC. He joined Aquanauts in early 2007 when he crossed over to PADI on the Rescue course. He loved diving with us so much that he never left and has gone up through the ranks until achieving the exalted status of Open Water Scuba Instructor in Feb 2010. Andy's diving trips have included Gibraltar, West Oz, Bali and hopefully he will be joining us for this years club Red Sea trip!!
