The Uk Diving Academy is built upon four core pillars, with sustainability and conservation being central to our business and winning us our PADI Eco Dive Centre Award. When we started Uk Diving Academy we had one goal in mind. We wanted to create something different. We found ourselves asking what happened to the adventure in diving? 

The thrill of exploring a new place for the first time. The passion to dive sites, and finding marine life that many have never seen before, while still being able to protect our oceans.

Keep diving in your local area by joining our dive club. Our dive club members are all active fivers in the local area. The dive club is open to anyone - whatever agency you trained with, whatever level of diver you are. All you need is a love of diving!

We also organise several holidays each year, UK and abroad, as well as shore dives off the UK coast and regular dive weekends to Vobster Quay. On top of all that there is also regular social events and activities including paintball, 'dry dives' in recompression chambers and regular club meetings.

Our qualified diving experts have the knowledge and first-hand experience to provide fantastic diving holidays suitable for all abilities and age ranges. 

All the dive experiences we offer have been chosen by our fully-qualified divers to provide you with the best group diving holidays available.
