Diving Site Rules
Yawn! Yes we know
that theyre not the most exciting part of scuba diving
but theyre extremely important nonetheless. more>
Ooops
I forgot my. . . We’ve
all done it, you travel for hours to your favorite dive destination
only to realise that you’ve forgotten an essential bit of
kit.
If you cannot blag from your buddies you’d be taking an early
visit to the pub or you’d sit in the car all alone with a
thermos of tea whilst everyone else has all the fun.
If this sounds a little familiar or if you simply don’t own
a full set of kit yet, the team at NDAC now provide a kit hire service
with pretty much everything you could want! more>

Bog snorkelling is a fun sporting event that involves competitors clad in flippers and a snorkel (and usually a wetsuit) completing two lengths of our boggy water filled trench in the shortest time possible, using just your feet to propel yourself.
Taking place over the weekend of the 20th and 21st of July at the National Diving & Activity Centre, we welcome, individual adults and children, teams of four and charities to take part in this new, fun and very different event.
There are warm showers and changing facilities at the NDAC site, as well as the View Cafe Bar where participants and spectators can have a bite to eat whilst enjoying the spectacular views over our quarry.
