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.

Scubapro’s premium front-adjustable X-Black BCD has earned a stellar reputation among recreational and professional divers for its quality, feature-rich construction and substantial lift capacity.

While unchanged in terms of lift and design, the X-Black BCD 2024’s bladder is now built with high-quality PU-coated 420 denier nylon on the inside and 840 denier nylon on the outside.

These two fabrics are high-frequency welded together and then tested to stand up to scratches and punctures under the most stressful of conditions, delivering a great balance of weight and wear resistance.

Also new, the X-Black BCD 2024 comes with four large zippered pockets instead of three. Mounted two per side, they expand cargo capacity while better balancing out the BCD.

On the shoulders, the newly designed epaulets are now elastic straps instead of hook and loop for better security and durability.

The backpack padding has been restyled as well and includes the classic Scubapro logo, plus the cummerbund and adjustable harness are more streamlined with Airnet® inner lining to enhance comfort and maximise water drainage.

Offering an expanded size range and so much more, the X-Black BCD 2024 is the perfect choice for avid recreational divers interested in a premium-quality, feature-rich, high-lift BCD.
