Duttons Divers expands

Published

on

Duttons Divers have some exciting news to share! If their new Scuba Escape venture was not enough, they have also just announced their expansion into another dive centre!

 In addition to Vivian Quarry, Duttons will now also be operating from Hafan Marina in Pwllheli. The expansion further down the North Wales coast will allow them to offer more guided shore and boat dives, at different locations, as well as enhance their facilities. Their dive boat ‘Little Viv’ will be based on the marina, making it even easier for divers to park right next to the boat …now with their own car park. Once the boat comes back to shore, divers have a short walk to the dive centre for showers, refreshments and any air fills that you may want.

Not only will the centre improve their shore and boat dive capability, but also training too. The centre offers a large classroom area, perfect for all levels of training, and where the Instructor Development Courses will now take place. The back area is fitted with a 21ft freestanding heated pool for training too!

To further enhance the centre, a dive shop will be located on the first floor, offering a range of equipment, specialising in the Apeks and Aqualung range.

 We spoke with PADI Course Director Clare, who says: “It seems like a lot has happened since I decided to start freelancing from the back of a trailer at the age of 18! Never did I imagine that the business would grow to this extent, first with Vivian and a dive boat, now to another huge dive centre with even more exciting new prospects.

We have worked hard to make sure that Duttons Divers as a centre can offer everything… and I believe that the new Hafan Marina centre is a great addition to the quarry. It now means that we have access to our own classroom, shop, pool, quarry, boat and shore dive vehicles for your dives… which is pretty cool!”

The dive centre is set to open mid-April; keep an eye on their social media channels for regular updates and visit their website at www.duttonsdivers.com.
