Diving at Vobster Quay offers excellent value. Unlike traditional
diving centres, we don't charge 'per dive' - you merely pay an entry
fee onto the site and for the rest of the day (normal operating hours
apply), you're free to make as many dives as you desire. Below you'll
find details of the entry fees. Please note that these fees are subject
to change without notice.
For regular visitors to Vobster Quay, we offer entry at a discounted rate via our
Quay Membership
Scheme. For just £30 per year, members gain access to a host of special
offers and promotions including a reduced entry fee of just £10.00 per
day. Click
HERE for more information on the benefits of becoming a Quay member...
All visitors are required to pay a £10 deposit upon entry. Upon receipt
of your deposit, you will be issued an entry 'tag'. This tag allows us
to monitor the number of visitors to ensure that all visitors are
safely accounted for when the site closes. Your deposit will be
returned when leaving the site upon return of your entry tag.
For dive instructors accompanied by four or more students, we offer
FREE ENTRY (
conditions
apply - please read carefully). Note that all students must pay either
the standard or registered day diver entry fee and the instructor must
submit a
group booking form completed in full in order to qualify for this promotion.
On the first Thursday of every month, Vobster Quay runs
night dive
evenings for divers who wish to take to the waters in the darkness of
night. Please note that divers visiting site on a day on which a night
dive evening is scheduled must pay an additional entry fee if they wish
to stay on after the site's normal closing time to take advantage of
the night diving opportunity.
