Where will I find the boat?
Skin Deep is moored by the Sailors return Public House. When you reach the roundabout with the fire station directly opposite go left along the water front with the water and boats on your left you will see the boat the other side of the river this side of the bridge. When you reach the bridge go left over the bridge and carry straight on and make the first turn on your left which will lead you to where we are moored. Don’t leave you car hanging around too long as this is a no parking zone by you should have time to load your stuff onto the boat.

Is there a toilet on board?
YES there is and we have toilet roll but please read the instructions on how to use it as we don’t want to spend the day unblocking it if you use it wrong.

How many people can the boat take?
The boat is licensed to carry 12 customers we cannot by law take anymore so please don’t ask us to. We have two crew on board as well and that’s all we can take. If you want to bring anyone else with you they will have to form part of the group charter organised by the group leader.

Do we have to pay more if we want to go further offshore?
Yes you do we have specific prices for specific distances worked out on a radius from Weymouth and it’s basically a fuel surcharge. If your diving deep wrecks with us and you are going a long way offshore your organiser will be familiar with the charges they will tell you.

Can I leave my diving gear safely around at night on the boat?
Yes you can as we have means to lock everything up so there's not need to lug your gear on and off every night.
Top

What is slack water?
Slack water is the period of time when the speed of the water flowing into or out of the English Channel is dive able. We can only dive the wrecks that are affected by the tide at certain times and it won’t wait for us. This means that time schedules throughout your holiday will move on an hour each day. Sometimes we may have to leave very early in the morning and be back earlier. This is normally what happens on the last day so you can get away and home for a reasonable time.
Top

When will the slack be?
The skipper will tell you when slack will be and it will be written on the board on the dive boats door each day. You will not need to ask.
Top

Is there lead and cylinders supplied on board the boat?
No you bring all your own Scuba gear even your air for the first dive we provide everything else from then on.

Do you hire equipment?
No we do not however you may want to explore the local dive shops and ask if they do.

What will my second dive be?
For club level diving we offer two dives a day the first normally is on a wreck of your choice however the second dive will be a shallower wreck on the way back to Weymouth or a drift dive. This will also be in agreement of the dive organiser the skipper and everyone else on the boat.
