For those of you that do not know Fathom & Blues, they are our preferred provider for transportation to the dive sites off of Portland (which is a posh way of saying we like them coz they feed us chocolate and hot Ribena after a dive). They also do the UK's best toasted sarnies! For more information on F&B and the dive sites around Portland, check out their website (www.fathomandblues.co.uk).

There is a wealth of diving around Portland, from boat dives to shore dives. We don't recommend the shore dives though as you have to hump your kit across Chesil Beach and if your Dive Leader is particularly nasty you have to hump his kit as well! While Chesil beach is spectacular it's not my idea of fun to lug tank, weights, regs & bcd up and down a half mile wide stretch of beach! Much easier to get on a rib and fall off of it.

Portland also caters for a range of experience with those just starting out seeing the wonders of the wrecks inside the harbour wall and those with a more technical bent "doing the subs". (For those that are keen to dive the P555 & UB74, Parky our Dive Officer has mandated that a series of progressively deeper dives leading up to these must be done before the Summer Party weekend).
