Check us out in Lonely Planet 😎🤩

We’re delighted to have a mention in Lonely Planet’s Discover Orkney article, where they share their recommended must-see and dos for a 5-day trip.

If you’re looking for some expert advice on what to see and so in Orkney (other than diving with us of course), they’ve got some great advice.

Give it a read and let us know in the comments what you’re most looking forward to 🥳

🤿🚤 Guided dives and boat tours 🤿🚤

Fancy trying a guided dive around the World War blockships at Orkney’s Churchill barriers? 😍

We also do day trips out at sea for a chance to dive at harder to reach (but still stunning) spots.

Check out our availability for the rest of June (or later in the summer) and book in advance to make sure you don’t miss out!

Our beach clean-up finds 🐙

Over the past couple of months, we’ve been doing lots of beach and barrier clean-ups.

You never know what you’ll find buried in the sand, and we wanted to share the action shots and some of the cool stuff we’ve collected while out and about.

Have you found anything unusual on the beach? Let us know in the comments!

Hello Shetland 👋

We’re here this week with a group of divers to explore the shores and underwater world farther north.

We’re so excited to experience what these incredible islands have to offer and to dive amongst Shetland's stunning coastlines.

Whilst we are diving the deep waters, we are a bit further from our keyboards than usual! We’ll reply to your emails as soon as we dry off and resurface. 🦭🌊

Stay tuned for photos, and we’ll be back diving in Orkney as usual next week – see you in the water! 🤿

Today is World Oceans Day and it would be mad for us not to celebrate it! 🦑

We’re incredibly lucky to be able to share doing what we love with so many people – thank you to everyone who has come out with us for a dive or snorkel 😍

We’ll be doing what we do best today: diving and exploring the underwater world! We’d love to hear what the rest of you are up to, and if you’re tempted to join us, check out our website for upcoming dives and snorkel sessions 😎

🌱World Environment Day 🌱

Our love of the environment and the underwater world is what drives us to pass on our knowledge to all the divers and snorkellers that come to visit.

As a PADI ECO Dive Center, we’re committed to diving responsibly and doing what we can to protect the environments that we spend time in.

We collaborate with PADI Aware and Green Fins to help make this happen and run our PADI Diving Against Debris course to help other divers to protect the ocean and underwater environment.

Whether you’re in or out of the water, we encourage you to take one positive action today to protect our environment 🐳
