Why Portland?

We’re located on the Isle of Portland (in Dorset) because Portland has been one of the most popular scuba diving locations in the United Kingdom even before we set up operations here back in the year 2000.

On one side, we’re minutes away from the sheltered waters of Portland Marina and Harbour, while on the other, it’s just a brief walk to reach our famous scuba diving destination Chesil Cove and start of the 16-mile-long Chesil Beach.  

Portland’s location makes it ideal for scuba diving, freediving, snorkelling and other surface water sports activities. 

Check out how many wrecks we have around here by clicking on Scimitar Diving's Wreck & Dive Sites chart!

Alongside dive clubs, many instructors and dive schools travel here to train and offer scuba diving certification ranging from open water diver to mixed-gas tech diving or rebreather diving levels.

Whether you’re doing a boat dive from Portland Marina or Castletown or a shore dive at Chesil Cove, Portland is well known for offering many possibilities: Reef diving to wreck diving and night diving, underwater photography or underwater videography. Anything other than cave diving is possible here.

Likely being the best-stocked diving shop in the UK, at Underwater Explorers we offer in-store scuba diving equipment advice and sales, as well as gas fills, to locals and visitors (read About Us).

But... If you’re googling “scuba diving shop near me” like some, look no further, there's DirDirect online.

Here at DirDirect, we list our cutting-edge equipment for worldwide delivery and we’ve got you covered whatever your level of diving: We’re your local dive store wherever you are in the world.

All that with over 20 years of experience especially in technical diving, from training to equipment, advice and sales.

The 360 Observe Diving Mirror has multiple uses for recreational and technical diving as well as for diving professionals. This underwater mirror can be utilised to monitor buddies/groups while on a dive as well as to conduct thorough self-bubble checks against any leaks.

Due to its convex reflective nature, it can also emphasise light signalling. Other uses include looking into confined spaces in wrecks, caves and under reefs, daylight signalling on the surface and backward surface swims.

The mirrors come with a screen protector installed to avoid scratching (but also make it look like they are scratched!) The screen protector needs to be removed for clear and proper use.

Many uses

Underwater vision is always restricted - wearing a mask narrows a diver’s field of view; the water may have poor visibility; the environment could lack ambient light, for example, inside a wreck or cave system or in deep water.

The 360 Observe is an essential addition to any diver’s kitbag; this convex mirror is worn on the wrist or back of the hand, allowing the wearer to raise and angle it for quick all-around vision simply.

Dive guides can easily see a group of divers without turning around. Instructors can watch students perform skills and even make eye contact through the mirror to reassure them. Technical divers can use the 360 Observe to do a bubble check on hard-to-see valves or check if a piece of equipment attached to the side or behind is where it should be and perform correctly.

The mirror can be positioned on the ascent to look up without the diver needing to roll over. The mirror is ideal for swimming backwards towards a buoy or a boat at the surface. In an emergency, it can be used to signal a rescue vessel.

  • Dive guides - keep an eye on your group
  • Instructors - watch a student
  • Bubble-check valves or rebreathers for leaks or faults
  • See in confined spaces and overhead environments like wrecks and caves
  • Looking at wildlife, e.g. underneath wreckage or on a reef
  • As a signal mirror on the surface
  • When swimming backwards, for example, towards a boat
