When you don't think your instructors can throw anything else at you.....

😁We got Marlene and Ben to do their Search and Recovery then Rescue Scenario on a quiet day😁

🪢Not only do they need to do knots underwater to tie a lift bag onto an object, we made them rescue an 'unconscious' Rob from the sea floor🪢

Definitely fun to watch from shore🤣

🍂🤿 Get in the water this autumn🤿🍂

With autumn well underway, why not challenge yourself to try a dive or snorkel before the cold winter weather sets in?

There’s something super refreshing about diving into the cold water at this time of year, and we love to make the most of it while the season lasts.

Wrap yourself up in thermals, or warm layers and socks, and we provide the drysuits to go on top.

Send us a message to find out what dates we have available, and hurry before the last spaces get booked up 🐙

🥰We are at the time of the year where the PADI Divemaster interns take a bit more responsibility🥰

😈Andrew was put through his paces with Margot getting to be a 'naughty' customer on his Guided Dive workshop😈

He handled everything she threw at him as well showed off the marine life that was around💪

🐙🤿 Try a September snorkel 🤿🐙

If you’ve been meaning to come and try snorkelling but the summer has got away with you, there’s still plenty of time left!

Our shore snorkel safaris are ideal for first timers; you’ll get to see the rich variety of Orkney’s marine life without travelling too far.

🐙🤿 All about PADI Open Water 🤿🐙

You might see that for most of our dives it requires ‘PADI OW’ as a prerequisite. This is a certification that gives you all the fundamental skills you need as a diver, including buoyancy control and using equipment.

This is a 4-day course you can do with us, and it gives you the chance to practice the essential skills and develop your confidence in the water.

Drop us a message to find out when we’ll next be running the course, or if you want to find out more ☺️

🥳More new divers alert🥳

Last month we had the wonderful Laura come back after loving her Try a Dives with us earlier in the year to complete her PADI Open Water course alongside lovely Murray.

💪Both getting their Drysuit courses at the same time too!💪

Learning to dive something you've been thinking about, we are still open till the 23rd October, so still got time during our 2026 season (and the water is warmer than the air right now!)

✨🤿 Diving in the dark🤿✨

This might sound a little mad, but hear us out...

The underwater world is pretty cool at night, and this time of year is perfect for exploring it by torchlight.

You get to see a whole different range of creatures than you would during the daylight hours and the fact you can only see what's in your torch light means you get to really focus on the details instead of being distracted by what's happening elsewhere!

These dives are guided, and we provide plenty of lighting so you can find your way and stay safe as part of a group.

Get in touch to book your spot and we’ll see you in the water 😎

How to get ready for getting in the water with us 🤿🐙

In other words, what should you wear underneath your drysuit?

Staying warm is important, so before you set off make sure you have a decent pair of tracksuit bottoms or leggings, and a sweater without a hood – plus a pair of thick, warm socks.

Thermals are ideal, if you have them, especially if you feel the cold easily.

Also remember to bring plenty of water to drink, and something to eat to keep you going 💪
