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.

The innovative, breathable four layer membrane nylon material offers you “casual garment” comfort and unprecedented lightness (2.9kg, mens large). Membrane breathability, well known from other professional sports wear, increases surface comfort.

Advanced ergonomic construction eliminates four way seams in the crotch and under arm areas giving you unrivalled mobility in this price range.

Avatar Drysuit

Avatar Drysuit has comfortable boots

The Avatar 3mm neoprene boots are modern and comfortable. The sole is reinforced from the inside with an additional insert. Outside it is covered with a rubber sole that protects your toes and heel. The boots have a convenient tab to position the fin strap and a Velcro strap around the ankle to prevent the boots from capturing too much air.

The size of the boots was selected to match the size of the suit body construction after a detailed, practical ergonomic analysis and already contains an adequate space for a warm socks.

Avatar has spacious technical pockets

Avatar drysuits come with two comfortable and spacious technical pockets with bungee loops for attaching small items to the bolt snap, and with eyelets for draining water. The pockets are ideally suited for opening with dry gloves, as at the end of the flaps have a special gripper and a wide Velcro closing.

Avatar drysuit is well finished

Avatar is reinforced on the knees, crotch, elbows and buttocks with a thicker nylon Oxford fabric, which serves to protect areas more exposed to abrasion or puncture.

Waterproof plastic zipper at the front, whose location is extremely important for self-donning and doffing the suit, is covered by a pleat protecting the teeth of the zipper against sand or dirt.

Latex neck seal is protected by neoprene insulation, which also serves as an overlap on the collar of the neoprene hood.

Avatar comes with braces, which allow you to keep the suit in the right position on the body after putting on the undersuit.

Each suit that comes out of the production line is specially checked for full water tightness, precision of craft and finish. Each one is cleaned and packed with the user in mind.

Breathable & lightweight drysuit

The fabric in the Avatar is not a random choice. Thanks to it, the suit is extremely lightweight, functional and last, but not least - it looks great.

Innovative, breathable, four-layer membrane material with a weight of 200g/m2 allows vapor-permeability from the inside thanks to the pores of the membrane and water tightness from the outside, thanks to its funnel-shaped construction. From both sides the membrane is covered with nylon, that dries very quickly. It is especially appreciated when during a dive interval or after a dive day you want your suit to be dry as soon as possible.

Thanks to this fabric an Avatar drysuit weighs less than 3kg, it is easy to roll up and compactly pack to take it anywhere with you.

Santi Smart Seal System is included

Avatar drysuits come as a standard with most innovative and comfortable Santi Smart Seals® System. Soft rings allow fast and easy seal exchange for any seal you like or have at hand.
 The Smart Seals System allows quick and very easy seals exchange, without the need of special tools.

Smart Seals ManualThe Smart Seals system replaces the standard wrist seals attachment in drysuit cuffs and works with any type of wrist seals available on the market – latex or silicone. There is no need for specially designed or dedicated seals, meaning a diver can carry spares and change a torn seal in the field.

The Smart Seals System also gives the possibility of adding dry gloves using Santi Smart Gloves Ring System (purchase separately).
