At Horsea Island Dive Centre we aim to provide safe year round diving for experienced and trainee divers alike, in a salt-water environment.

Horsea Island is open all year round.

Added specifically for the recreational divers, the many in water attractions include a Wessex Helicopter, armoured personnel carrier, Land Rovers, recompression chambers, and a Royal Navy Cheverton Ferry boat. Zones 2 and 3 also have training platforms.

The lake is 1350 yards long and with it's average depth of 7 metres many of the problems and restraints associated with deeper diving can be avoided. This makes it the ideal choice for newly qualified divers, those wishing to try out new equipment or brush up on skills before progressing to the open sea.

As Horsea Island is mainly salt water, it is able to support a wide variety of marine life, and as it is topped up at high water from the sea we are constantly adding to our list of species.

Horsea Island Dive Centre is an operational military base, and as such visiting civilian divers need to treat the facilities with respect. Each visitor must wear an identification tag at all times, even when diving, and must not enter marked prohibited areas. Trained staff and military security staff will assist visitors and their instructions must be followed at all times.

In the interests of safety and your enjoyment, no solo diving is permitted, and nothing may be removed from the lake, particularly marine life.

Divers must use surface marker buoys at all times, and must be qualified, or under instruction with a qualified instructor.

Divers using rebreathers must each deploy their own SMB so that their position can be located at all times.

All visitors must be clear from the site by the advertised closing time.
