Trips planned for 2011

DiveStyle Dive Weekend

Join the fun on a weekend away with DiveStyle

You have become one of our divers involved in the discovery of the most exciting, stimulating environment and soon may you realise, that although you have lived on the same planet, the diverse range of marine life make the Oceans that cover 70% of the earth's surface a completely different world.

We are planning a weekend trip to Swanage in Dorset on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th July.

We hope to do a mixture of dives for all levels of diver. For advanced open water and above we will have the opportunity to do two dives on both Saturday and Sunday from the boat Swanage Diver. These will be a mixture of wrecks and drifts with the view to diving the wreck of the Kyarra at least once.  Dive equipment and cylinder hire can be arranged if required and we will be discounting equipment hire by 30% for this weekend.  

It is, however, essential  for each diver to have their own SMB and reel.  These items cannot be hired from DiveStyle but we do have a selection in stock should you wish to purchase them. The cost for the four dives is £90. Due to the terms and conditions of the dive charter no place will be guaranteed until full payment has been made for all dives. Shore dives suitable for PADI Open Water qualified divers and accompanied by a PADI professional will be available around Swanage Pier and will cost £25 for 4 dives. This is a chance to increase your dive experience and will help you move on to bigger and better things!

Once a place has been confirmed, refunds will not be given unless the trip is cancelled due to prevailing weather conditions.

Note that there is an entry fee to the pier. This was £2.50 per day for adults last year although it may have increased. Car parking on the pier for the day was £8 per day last year and included the entry fee.

SWANAGE - Pier Diving.

 
"Swanage pier provides the ideal platform for new divers, divers looking to gain confidence or divers just looking for a easy dive with loads to see."

Swanage pier is a popular dive site for new and qualified divers, being one of the few sheltered sea diving sites on the south coast. Thousands come to Swanage Pier to Scuba Dive under the wooden Pier framework or to board boats to other local dive destinations, including many wrecks lying in deeper water outside the bay. An area adjacent to the Pier has been buoyed off as a safe Diver Training Zone and with a depth of 5 meters Swanage Pier is a popular diving site for new and qualified divers
