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.

Designed with the sport diver in mind, Shearwater’s new Tern dive computer is a powerful, simple, reliable, and compact watch-type computer. You can pre-order your unit now for the January 2024 market release and be among the first to get it.

The Tern builds upon the success of the popular Shearwater Peregrine dive computer with an appearance similar to, yet lighter and thinner than, the Shearwater Teric. 

What differs it from the Shearwater Tern TX isn't just the silver bezel and buttons colour (as opposed to black) but that it's not transmitter capable, nor does it have a digital compass. Neither of the Tern models have OC mixed gas technical and CCR modes as do the Shearwater Perdix 2, Teric and Petrel 3.

Both the Tern & Tern TX are depth rated to 120 metres and tested to engineering EN standards for dive computer compliance. They both support Air, Nitrox, 3 Gas Nitrox, Gauge, and Freedive modes and can log 500 hours of dives with a battery life of 20 hours with dive mode on.
