Aquanaut Scuba & Snorkelling Centre Ltd - Cornwall & Devon

The team at Aquanaut Scuba & Snorkelling Centre Ltd are the sort of folks you want guiding you into the chilly but rewarding waters of the UK. We’ve always appreciated their down-to-earth approach; no fuss, just solid diving advice and a proper Cornish welcome. They run a PADI 5 Star IDC, which means if you’re looking to take your diving seriously, from Open Water right up to instructor level, they’ve got the expertise. What we love about Aquanaut is their knack for making local diving accessible. Cornwall and Devon offer some fantastic wreck diving and fascinating reef systems, often less explored than sunnier climes, but they demand good local knowledge. Aquanaut provides exactly that, with a focus on safety and making sure you’re comfortable. You’ll find yourself exploring old fishing boats, military vessels, and vibrant soft coral walls, sometimes with seals playing peek-a-boo. Our favourite time to dive with them is late summer, when the water has warmed a touch and visibility tends to be at its best. They’re a great choice for divers who appreciate genuine, no-nonsense guidance and a chance to experience the unique charm of UK diving.
