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.

Atomic X1 Blade Fins deliver ultimate power and raw thrust. Firmer, shorter blades and a solid internal frame are attached to power plate foot pockets providing more control and better manoeuvrability in tight spaces.

X1 Blade Fins are perfect for general diving, tech diving and alternate finning styles like frog and scissor. Taller foot pockets are great for large boots.

The Atomic X1 Blade Fin kicks up traditional paddle fin design by applying Atmonics’ Monocoque structure and power plate with unique materials to achieve a solid internal frame for more control. Asymmetrical blade bend flexing provides more feel and manoeuvrability for tight spaces.

Features of Atomic X1 Blade Fins

Power and thrust. Feel and control. General and alternate. The X1 Blade Fin is a perfect fin for every diver and dive technique. The taller foot pocket with a low-friction entry section is well-suited for large and drysuit boots.

RIGID LOW-PROFILE SIDE RAILS & SHORTER, STIFFER BLADE

Makes turning and pivoting easier. Most fins have taller side rails for tracking and bending strength. The Atomic X1 BladeFin has lower profile rails with less side-to-side resistance, allowing you to rotate, spin, and turn more efficiently during alternate fin kicks.

MONOCOQUE STRUCTURE & POWER PLATE

Unique structural engineering design is connected to the low-profile rails, efficiently transferring power from the leg and foot to the rails.

ASYMMETRICAL BLADE BEND FLEXING

This design attribute is perfect for alternate kicking styles. Scissor kicks, frog-kicking and helicopter turning in tight circles put more emphasis on the up-kick or return stroke. For these kick styles, the X1 provides more feel and control of the fin to manoeuvre more effectively without folding under heavy load.

VERTICAL STABILIZERS OR STRAKES

Adds stability and lowers drag to keep the fin tracking straight as an arrow. Other fin designs use taller side rails to keep the fin tracking straight. Using strakes to straighten the fin, the X1 Blade Fin does not add significant side drag like tall side rails.

EZ-LOK BUCKLE SYSTEM

An Atomic exclusive, our patented buckle system design features easy, one-handed quick release of the buckle from the fin. Re-attachment is simple and secure.

WARRANTY & CARE

Atomic Aquatics fins are warranted against defects for one year. Keep out of direct sunlight when possible to avoid colour fading. Store your fins with the foot pocket inserts in place and in a manner that prevents deforming.
