So folks, we've been a little quiet on here but still beavering away in the background I assure you! Whilst we would love to take you all out diving, we are not going anywhere until government guidelines and then our own assessment make it as safe as we can be in the current climate. At the moment, social distancing on a RIB is going to be impossible and we don't want to be encouraging people to travel long distances to go diving either and we know the temptation will be there, which is why we are also keeping our compressor off! We're more than happy to take emails and provisional bookings for when the lockdown is lifted, but that's likely to be a little while yet. We are offering online learning, whether that's through PADI or SSI and we are able to offer the phenomenal SSI Science of Diving course FOR FREE! at the moment. This is a speciality course you can study at home, it can count towards your Master SCUBA Diver qualification and it's useful for any level of diver. We can even back it up with online seminars if required. So, drop us an email, download the SSI App and affiliate to Dive Beyond for your free Science Of Diving course (Usually £150). What have you got to loose? If you are thinking of starting your dive adventure you can pick up online training with us too by choosing courses through the SSI app More info to come... stay safe and hold that deco stop just a little longer. We've adjusted our favourite strap line a little from "it's better to be on the boat wishing you were at 40m than to be at 40m wishing you were on the boat to: It's better to be at home wishing you were in the sea with a full face mask, than ........ Stay safe, stay cool.
