Bay Divers
Inspiring Divers since 2009
Passionate about scuba diving, creating, retaining and enthusing scuba divers for the last 17 years!
We offer try dives, refresher courses and guided dives in open water, a couple of condensed open water courses throughout the year plus speciality and advanced diver training. We also run a busy and vibrant dive club with our club members coming from many different training agencies with various underwater interests.
We use DiveRAID as our teaching platform, along with other scuba diving agencies such as SSI, PADI, CMAS etc we share equal global recognition and interchangability as governed and accredited by the International Recreational Scuba Training Council, so no matter where you go, your certification will be recognised at every dive centre the world over. The agency is just a vehicle!
What we particularly like about DiveRAID is the fact that the training materials live online, you get free lifetime access with materials that are regularly updated. There are advances in science & technology all the time & it's easy for the agency to get that information amended swiftly with the tap of a few buttons unlike some with hard copy manuals in many different languages to be re-published. Another huge advantage is tab 'Free e-learning' you can view, download & print manuals from ANY scuba course from entry level to instructor, cave to CCR.

"I cannot recommend Bay Divers enough. Such a validating and encouraging team of people inclusive of all the pro crew and club members.
So encouraging and genuinely welcoming guys and gals!
As of today I am officially an open water diver and couldn’t be more delighted!
If you want to learn to dive these are your guys"
"An incredible club, we've been to such places as the Farne Islands to dive with Seals, to Scapa Flow in Scotland for some sensational wreck diving plus lots of club weekends down west & trips along the English south coast. Great bunch of guys, couldn't be happier!"
​
"I have recently completed entry level technical diving courses with Karl at Bay Divers. Cannot recommend him and his crew enough.
The courses were professionally carried out but with a relaxed atmosphere that helped me to learn a lot.
Look forward to doing more and joining the club. Many thanks :)"

Diving Trips & Holidays

Previous trips
Since our formation we have dived extensively throughout the UK and in many countries around the world. Our UK dives have ranged from our local dives in Wales, Portland & Plymouth on the south coast to diving with seals in Northumberland and for our deep & technical divers, diving the sunken German WW1 battle fleet at Scapa Flow, in the Orkney Islands.
Our foreign travel for recreational diving has included Malta, our annual club liveaboard to the Red Sea in Egypt & South Africa. Our technical divers have enjoyed wreck hunting in South Africa, diving the deeper wrecks of the Red Sea, exploring the numerous deep wrecks off Malin Head in Ireland and the cherry on the icing on the cake was an unforgettable trip diving the sunken Japanese WWII fleet in Truk Lagoon, Micronesia.
​
Future trips
In the diary for this year we have a Northern Wrecks & reefs liveaboard to include the Brother Islands in the Red Sea in June, a long weekend trip to Capernwray in Lancashire to dive with Sturgeon and to explore the sunken attractions plus many shore and boat diving weekends in Pembrokeshire as well as a wreck week in Plymouth in September. At the end of October we'll be returning to dive the sunken WWII Japanese fleet at Truk Lagoon, Micronesia.
