Entry Fees...


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 £35 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...

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.
