The Diving
There are some spectacular dive-sites in the area teaming with life
suitable for all levels of diving. The Brixham Breakwater beach is
great for training and is where we will be basing ourselves for the
weekend. A great variation in wildlife can be found here whilst you
are training.

Any BSAC assessments
PADI crossovers
· Adventure Diving
Dive from the beach or take the club ribs out to some of the local
reefs or wrecks in the area.
The Centre
Grenville house over looks Brixham harbour and is only a short walk
the local dive site, so therefore a short walk back for food and hot
drinks! There are drying facilities for your wet suits so they will
be nice and dry in the morning J.
The centre has dormitory style accommodation and provides all the
bedding, though a sleeping bag is advisable.

kitchen in the centre or alternatively there are a choice of
takeaways just a five minute walk away.
