Diving with UsThe club meets most weekends, weather permitting to go diving. Diving from
Red October is not like diving off a charter boat as there are no time limits
or rush to return to pickup another 'bus load' of divers. It is a
relaxed, friendly, and fun way to go diving. We don't offer fee-for-service diving, if you
are after that then try here.
 To come diving with us
you must meet each
of the criteria listed below, namely you:
- have a recognized diving qualification to dive beyond 30 metres;
- own your diving equipment and keep it regularly maintained;
- dive with a fully redundant configuration as recommended for deep diving;
- are able to spend an entire day on the boat;
- help clean the boat at the end of the day;
- contribute (equally with all other divers) your share towards fuel used on the day.
