We have four full sets of diving equipment, which can be used by club members or visiting divers alike.
The Club has a variety of dive sites, all of which have been mentioned on this website. For more information check out the links to the left of this page.
The boat is on a mooring, so diving takes place during most days throughout the year, and in the summer, evening dives are also arranged.
We arrange occasional weekend trips away, and annual trips to places like the Red Sea.
Diving in South East Cornwall
This area has some of the best diving in Cornwall. From Plymouth Sound in the East, to Polperro in the West, and as far south as the Eddystone, and Hand Deeps. All of the dive sites in this area are easily reached by RIB in about 30-40 minutes (allowing for reasonable conditions) from Looe.
South-East Cornwall has a great deal to offer in the way of diving. The water in this area is often very clear in comparison to the rest of the UK, especially out towards the Eddystone and Hand deeps. From Novice diver to Advanced diver, there is something to suit every divers needs.
If your planning a dive in this area visit the pages listed. They contain useful information for any diver who has considered planing a trip to this area.
