Here at Kraken Diving we are not trying to compete with other dive centres, this is because we know that everyone wants something different from their dive centres! So here are some details on us to help you decide if we are the centre for you

• All of our courses and dives are carried out by instructors that have done hundreds if not thousands of dives on the various wrecks of Scapa Flow, meaning they have the knowledge to guide you and show you the best areas.

• We pride ourselves on making safe  divers. Our experience in technical diving means we can provide a high standard of guiding and instruction too!

• Each of our courses has more than the minimum required dive time in order to give as much time as possible for skill development. So if you want a quick flying course we probably aren't the school for you!

• We start each course with equipment set-up to ensure we have the best and most streamlined equipment for you to use during the course and on future dives.

• We offer a personal service and level of attention, with a maximum of 2 students per course or 3 on guided dives.

• On our professional and technical courses then video is used as a teaching tool as part of the debrief.

As well as giving you more time developing your skills in the water and making you a safer diver and a better member of the dive team, this also means that you get more time to explore some of the best shipwrecks in Europe, what a combination!

We love what we do and take pride in making sure you have the best experience possible. From your first breath underwater we are with you all the way.  We are able to offer all training courses and we are also open for pleasure dives. We have our own onsite training lake full of attractions from shipwrecks to sports cars, pirates and film stars. We make sure every dive is fun with so much to see and a fantastic team of instructors who are there to make sure your day is enjoyable and safe.

To compliment the centre, Puffin Dive Centre has a team of dedicated support staff including three resident PADI Course Directors. Each staff member has a specialist role at Puffin Dive Centre and has ancillary skills such as diver training & certification or Boat Skipper & RYA training or is a repair technician of an industry level expertise. Of course we always have some staff training & junior staff. We will try to refer you to a correct staff member well experienced in handling your particular needs. The shop usually has staff available during the day & will try to help with advice, local information or any other requirements you may have.

Our friendly, expert staff are more than happy to help with all your diving requirements. Established over 25 years we truly are the only one-stop dive centre in Dorset, catering for new and experienced divers alike. Weymouth is renowned for its wealth of marine life and its numerous wrecks (some 120 within a 20 mile radius) attract divers from all parts of the UK. The diving suits all levels of divers, from those on their first sea dives, through to the technical divers diving to below 40 metres. Diving is possible all year round, due to the sheltered location of Portland Harbour. Diving outside the harbour limits is at its best from April through to September.

To join the club simply come down to the dive centre with your diving qualification and we will be happy to accept you. We are a PADI Club however you can still join as a BSAC/SAA diver. If you sign onto a course with Sunderland Scuba Centre then you are automatically enrolled in the club.

Here you'll find everything you need to know about starting out or developing your skills as a diver. Whether you are new to scuba diving or are an experienced diver looking for new challenges, Andark can offer you a wide range of courses from Discover Scuba Experience up to professional Instructor level qualifications and a variety of non-diving courses.

We know you'll be impressed with the facilities that Andark has to offer, from our on-site indoor heated pool with a 3.4 metre deep end giving a realistic simulation of open water diving, 3 on-site air-conditioned classrooms, and modern well-maintained equipment. We also have a onsite diver training lake which is 7m deep, which has a café, free WIFI, warm showers, changing rooms on site.
