Why Portland?

We’re located on the Isle of Portland (in Dorset) because Portland has been one of the most popular scuba diving locations in the United Kingdom even before we set up operations here back in the year 2000.

On one side, we’re minutes away from the sheltered waters of Portland Marina and Harbour, while on the other, it’s just a brief walk to reach our famous scuba diving destination Chesil Cove and start of the 16-mile-long Chesil Beach.  

Portland’s location makes it ideal for scuba diving, freediving, snorkelling and other surface water sports activities. 

Check out how many wrecks we have around here by clicking on Scimitar Diving's Wreck & Dive Sites chart!

Alongside dive clubs, many instructors and dive schools travel here to train and offer scuba diving certification ranging from open water diver to mixed-gas tech diving or rebreather diving levels.

Whether you’re doing a boat dive from Portland Marina or Castletown or a shore dive at Chesil Cove, Portland is well known for offering many possibilities: Reef diving to wreck diving and night diving, underwater photography or underwater videography. Anything other than cave diving is possible here.

Likely being the best-stocked diving shop in the UK, at Underwater Explorers we offer in-store scuba diving equipment advice and sales, as well as gas fills, to locals and visitors (read About Us).

But... If you’re googling “scuba diving shop near me” like some, look no further, there's DirDirect online.

Here at DirDirect, we list our cutting-edge equipment for worldwide delivery and we’ve got you covered whatever your level of diving: We’re your local dive store wherever you are in the world.

All that with over 20 years of experience especially in technical diving, from training to equipment, advice and sales.

Apeks ThermiQ Hood: Graphene Lined

The 5mm Apeks ThermiQ Hood features a Graphene fleece lining. This lining reduces heat loss from your head. Consequently, it increases the temperature by 2°C on average. It also equalises heat. Specifically, it moves heat from warmer areas to colder areas.

Experience warmer dives with the Apeks ThermiQ Hood. This hood reduces flushing and water ingress. It is made of super-stretchy limestone neoprene. This neoprene molds to your head and neck. It also stays flexible for movement and comfort.

What is Graphene Lining?

Graphene is used in the Apeks Neoprene Hood. Specifically, it is a one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms. Moreover, these atoms are arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Consequently, graphene conducts heat better than any other material.

Additionally, it equalizes body temperature. That is, namely, it transfers heat. Specifically, it moves heat from warmer parts of the body to colder parts. This occurs, notably, without a power source.

Therefore, as a result, it increases body temperature by 2°C on average. Thus, it has earned the title "wonder material".
