DV are spot on Dave Vincent is the guy to ask for and you will also find Steve Phillips(TDI UK ) dives there.
They tend to concentrate on Strangford lough.
You have also got Aquaholics on the north coast who go out to Donegal (u-boats) and Rathlin.
Dive north who i have never used but have good website and from what i here are pretty good to.
Mevagah dive are in Donegal to but thats a fair distance from belfast.

I have posted a few links to a couple of sites hope this helps

Not forgetting:

UDA (Underwater Discovery Agency)
IRA (Irish Reck Diving)
UVF (Underwater Voyeur Federation)
INLA (Independent National Lifeguards Association)

Seriously though, have dived with Aquaholics and have mixed feelings about them and their service.

For Belfast Lough, it is DV Diving you want. Try the shop first, then the centre if no success.

Shop: 028 9186 1686
Training Centre: 028 9186 1686

"Dive North" in Malin head is where the local technical divers use when diving at Malin Head.

Hi,

I did all my Tec courses with Dave at Dv, from basic nitrox to advanced trimix - very good. He uses Strangford Lough and the Irish sea as well.
You will also find most of the other centres mentioned, that their instructors were trained at DV.

You could try www.tecdiver.ie and post the same question, membership is mainly from Ireland.

Where / what are you planning to dive, the viz is shite at the moment.
If it is The Tiberia max 65m - good dive use DV.

If you have any probs drop me an email and I will see what I can find out.
