A little bit about us
Nautidiver is an SDI dive centre offering a wide range of recreational dive courses, boat dives and dive safaris. We also offer equipment rental and airfills.
We are passionate about diving and the marine environment, and that passion shapes how we train. We run very small courses, with a maximum of four students per instructor, ensuring personal attention and high safety standards. For those who need flexibility, we also offer one to one training, tailored around work and other commitments.
We use some of the best training sites in Ireland to carry out our courses. Like Portroe Dive Centre which is an ideal environment for divers in training with its crystal clear waters and controlled conditions.
During the summer months we run regular weekly boat dives from Dún Laoghaire Harbour, giving divers the chance to explore the waters of Dublin Bay and its vast array of marine life. Occasionally we run 2 tank dives to wicklow head and Irelands eye which offers some fantastic sites.
Once qualified new dive buddies are welcome on any of the dive safaris we run. These range from local day trips to weekend breaks and oversea diving adventures!
Many of the weekends away we organise with a number of the commercial dive centres located around the country.
