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 SubFrame ARC Mask reduces reflected light and actually increases the amount of available light transmitted to a diver’s eyes.

The Atomic SubFrame ARC Mask is so durable it carries a Lifetime warranty against frame breakage. The strength comes from the internal frame (subframe) moulded directly beneath the surface of the silicone rubber skirt. A wide field of view and great fit combines function, style and durability.

This subframe provides incredible strength and rigidity and eliminates the bulky external plastic frame in other masks. A stainless steel retainer locks the lenses in place and strengthens the mask’s nose bridge area.

ARC Lens Technology Elevates UltraClear to a Higher Level

Atomic Aquatics developed ARC (Anti-Reflective Coating) technology to reduce reflected light and actually increase the amount of available light transmitted to a diver’s eyes. The result is a greatly improved transmission of 98% of available light, compared to a loss of more than 14% of light with standard green “float” glass used on the majority of masks on the market.

What is ARC lens technology?

Anti-Reflective Coatings, or “ARC”, is a multi-layer metal oxide coating process applied to both sides of the UltraClear lenses. This allows more light to enter the mask by reducing light reflections off the inside and outside surface of the lens. The metal oxide coating is only a few microns thick.

What is the underwater benefit of Atomic SubFrame ARC Mask for divers?

  • Clearer, crisper vision. You will see more clearly underwater, and objects in the distance will become more defined and acute.
  • Increased contrast and clarity.
  • Reduces eyestrain, glare and prevents ghost images on the viewing area of the lens.
  • An absolute must for night diving, limited visibility conditions, and underwater photographers.
