first time on the Scimitar Sunday a fantastic boat well laid out as mark said but it was the small things i liked the most books to read in to read in the cabin hose down when your kitted up stop you getting to hot, food and tea never ending,

and ensuring that the shot was on the wreck before offing us to the dive, i had a great day and have already booked for the future

Scimitar Diving Ltd Hardboat Diving Made Easy

The boat is new and is ideally laid out for divers, a lot of thought has gone into what divers need and the boat has been designed with this in mind. Big kitting up benches, plenty of room, nice lift, a wet wheelhouse and dry cabin, warm freshwater hose to rinse of your kit. The counterweight on the shotline is also great idea.

I also like the fact that they carry two crew, Smudger and Helena were very friendly and helpful and made sure that hot drinks and choccy biscuits were always available (oh and fruit for the healthy). A hot lunch was also provided.

I would definitely recomend them and have book up to run a few more courses on Scimitar already.

Thanks Guys!

Now are little secret of a great boat, fantastic crew and wait for it...


CHOCCY BISCUITS.... has been leaked to the YD masses the boat will be fully booked for the next 20 years ...


I totally agree with Mark, we had a great day out even though I managed to sunburn the top of my head (which is not nice).

I think it should be pointed out as well that they were cheaper than the RIB going from the old harbour dive shop (40 instead of 45) AND they had food and drinks. You also didn't get thrown all over the place on the way out there, or have to carry your kit up and down a big ladder! I'll be looking into booking my club on there in the future, if I can find space! They were also good about us doing rescue scenarios after our ascents, and the lift worked, which made getting a casualty and their twinset into the boat possible! What more can you ask for?

Just make sure the main shot is heavy enough to counter the counter weight.
