2DiVE4 2008 Scuba Diving Trips

All our trips were fully booked in 2007 with waiting lists on most, so if you would like to book onto any trip in 2008 then early booking is advised.

2DiVE4 run regular dive trips to many UK dive destinations from inland quarries for newly certified divers to wreck diving at Scapa Flow for the more experienced diver as well as many dive trips to places abroad such as the Red Sea and the Maldives.

We have a friendly social group of divers who regularly meet up on these trips for the great diving and even greater “après dive”!!!!

We tend to schedule our trips weekdays, as most dive sites tend to be less busy then, thus providing a more relaxed diving environment.

Our prices are inclusive of accommodation (B&B), dive site fees and boat charter (if required).

2DiVE4 offer full kit hire for £39 per person per day .

Full kit hire includes semi-dry suit, booties, gloves, hood, BCD, regs, mask, snorkel, fins, weight belt & weights and 12L tank). Please note some of the dive boats we use require you to have a second cylinder as the boat will not return to harbour between dives for air refills. These can be hired additionally as per our equipment hire section.

Individual equipment can also be hired (please see our equipment hire section).

All divers are required to have there own dive knife, dive compass and timing device (dive watch or computer). For coastal destinations EVERY diver is required to have there own SMB and reel and must be able to competently deploy one. These are essential items that are required for the safety of all our divers during our trips. These can be purchased from our online dive shop or why not visit our shop in Stansted.

Please note that on all of our coastal dive trips the dives are NOT supervised. Yourself and your buddy should have adequate training and experience to dive in the conditions you will be diving in. If you require supervision on a dive you can book a PADI Discover Local Diving dive where a PADI Instructor or Divemaster will supervise you at the cost of £30 per buddy pair, per dive.
