Sites & Tours A number of dive sites less than an hours boat ride from our premises are available including numerous wreck sites and kelp reefs. For the more adventurous, arrangements can be made to travel much further afield using our Land Rover/ inflatables or the new 14m Catamaran. SURVEY BOATS. For the 2008/2009 season we hope to travel further afield with the new boat and stay overnight at some of the more remote sites. |

| Safety
Because of the remoteness of the Falklands, safety whilst diving is paramount. A two-man recompression chamber is installed in our Dive Centre and we carry at all times an oxygen administration kit on all our dives. The new 14m Catamaran has been built to be M.C.A. Compliant and will have a Cat 2 designation. We would advise any visiting diver to carry his own insurance diving policy which nowadays is fairly easily achieved. |
