Sunday Dives

We have run this programme for over twenty years now - and it’s simply a subsidised way of getting people wet! Divers of all grades and experience come along to have a fun dive, gain more experience and to meet other divers.

The dives are Andark dives and are open to all divers from any recognised training agency. The idea is that the more experienced will lead the less experienced whilst Andark provides the necessary safety cover … the principle being that it’s a safe and affordable means for divers to gain experience, enjoy their diving and meet other divers and new buddies.

Although we subsidise the hire of main items of equipment in order to get people diving, it’s worthwhile investing in your own kit - speak to our shop staff for advice.

Non-divers are more than welcome to come along on all of the Sunday Dives - many of the sites are at popular south coast beaches and if the weather’s good it can be a great family day out.

Some of our Sunday divers decide to car-share - if you choose to do this, you can leave your car in the Pool Complex Car Park.

See you on Sunday!

How to book

Telephone the shop to book your place on the dive (remember to let us know if you need to hire any kit). Call the shop on Friday or Saturday (before 5.00pm) to confirm the dive is proceeding as planned (we may have to make changes due to the weather).

On Sunday:

• Arrive at the Shop at the advertised time, usually 8.00am. Please note that no air fills are available on the Sunday morning.
• Check in and make payment for the dive and complete disclaimer. Suits and cylinders will be issued before leaving Andark - they are your responsibility.
• Regulators and BCDs will be issued on site and must be returned to your Dive Marshall directly after your dive.
• All hired equipment must be returned to Andark on the day of the dive.
• Transport is not included in the price of the dive. However, many regulars share cars. It is up to passengers to arrange fuel costs, etc.
• These prices do not include entry to Horsea or other fee paying sites.
• All divers must have their own mask, fins, snorkel, weights, weight belt, boots, and gloves. These are available to buy in the shop.
