Divers Down Swanage Dorset. Est.1958. 50 years of diver training on the South Coast.
We are the only dive school based on the pier and the UK's longest established dive school.

Swanage diving school has been on Swanage Pier since 1958.
Apart from being the longest established dive school in England,
it is also one of the south coasts best loved dive sites
and is generally accepted as being one of the
best shore dives in the UK.

With the sea quite literally 5 metres from our door, where better to either learn to dive or continue your diving education? Mike Potts Diving at Divers Down Swanage regularly run diving courses at every level, from 'try dives' under the pier to technical diving courses further offshore.

Mike Potts Diving at Divers Down Swanage are not only proud of continuing this fine tradition but we are also proud of the pier itself. Thanks to the ongoing restoration of this Victorian Listed Building, the pier provides a protected marine environment where generations of divers have experienced the underwater world for the first time.

We try to provide more of a 'personal service' type of diver training, with small class sizes. Hopefully this will make you feel you are paying for your training and not your certification. In this way your certification is earned and not bought.

We hope to see you in the water very soon.
Safe Diving!
