THE LOCAL AREA
Weymouth is acknowledged as one of the U.K.’s premier dive destinations, and for good reason. Located in Dorset’s World Heritage Jurassic Coast, there are more than 120 wrecks in a 20 mile radius, ranging from 8 to 60 metres, to please both the new diver, through to the most demanding technical divers. For photographers and naturalist there is an abundance of marine life, due to the confluence of currents and the clear waters that circulate around Portland and Lulworth. Its abundance of shallow, sheltered sites make it an ideal training location for only new divers, but those wishing to practise skills on technical rigs, or build up hours on rebreathers. Our dive site chart in the boat charter section details the main sites. In our school section, we suggest the dive sites best suited to the level of training being undertaken.

Old Harbour Dive Centre’s unique location means a pleasant trip through Weymouth’s beautiful harbour to your dive site. For groups who have their own boat, you can moor up immediately outside the diver centre and enjoy a bite to eat, or a coffee and ice cream while you wait for your cylinders to be filled. We have a car park adjoining the dive centre (£7 per day), and we are a short walk from a wide selection of pubs and restaurants (and the best fish and chips in Dorset!). We can recommended accommodation and restaurants to suit all budgets, many of them within walking distance from our dive centre, as well as clubs and bars for the night owls.
