The club offer everything from, help with joining the club, basic kit hire at a great price! Patient instructors and lots of help and advice from members for a newbie like me 😀 Plenty of dives around the island. Looking forward to getting on a few boat dives. Highly recommended club for anyone who wants to give diving a go!."

"Both my son and I learnt to dive and continue to dive with Wight Dolphins. They are all about safety first but balance this with fun and laughter. Being a BSAC club it also made scuba affordable to us in terms of training and dive costs.."
