Posted on February 23, 2024

30 Year Award PADI Dive Centre Ocean View

It only seems a short while ago that we were celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Dive Centre here at Lancing.

But here we are celebrating the 30th Anniversary of PADI Store 7801.
So much has happened in those 5 years!

We made it through the Pandemic, and came out the other side with a firm view to continue onwards and upwards.

During the years we have been to some amazing holiday destinations like The Galapagos, Truk Lagoon, Indonesia, Socorro and the Sea of Cortez, The Red Sea, Malta, South Africa , Maldives, Sri Lanka and The Carribean. We have also dived many many parts of the UK; Cornwall, Dorset, Kent, Norfolk, Wales, Devon, Oban, Scapa, Lundy Island the Farnes for playing with Seals.

We have had some amazing staff and instructors come through here over the years, that are all passionate about diving that we would like to give a massive shout out and thank you to.

Finally my biggest thank you is to all of you, our customers and students that have made these 30 years possible, I truly mean this, to us, each of our students and customers are important.

Beach Clean Up – Saturday 29th July

PADI Aware Foundation, Kraken Rum

Ocean View Diving Services & the Fortune of War Pub

Ocean View Diving Services, the PADI AWARE Foundation, Kraken Rum, and the Fortune of War Pub are joining forces for a Brighton Beach Clean Up this summer.

This will be both an under water and land based clean up, enabling lots of people to get involved, if we can stop the rubbish going into the water in the first place, that’s the best option!

Starting locally we can make a difference, by helping to keep our local beaches clean we can be part of a bigger community taking care of our environment.

WORLD’S FIRST COCKTAIL BAR THAT ACCEPTS LITTER AS CURRENCY OPENS IN BRIGHTON

The Kraken Rum is opening the world’s first cocktail bar where cash has been ditched in favour of exchanging a bag of litter for a round of delicious Kraken Rum cocktails
The first-of-its-kind beach bar will reward goers participating in an earlier beach clean with a party where all drinks are on the Beast as a thank you for protecting its ocean home
The Kraken Rum has partnered with marine conservation charity PADI AWARE to host the Beast’s Beach Blitz, a two-hour clean of Brighton Beach on Saturday 29th July, which will coincide with a dive for debris off Brighton Pier to help the charity in its mission to reduce ocean debris by half within the next decade
The Beast will be taking over Fortune of War on Brighton’s seafront for the cleaning extravaganza

Taking place on Saturday 29th July, the first-of-its-kind beach bar will reward hard-working goers participating in a clean of Brighton Beach with a mighty party where all drinks are on the Beast as a thank you for protecting its ocean home. Kicking off at Fortune of War on Brighton’s iconic seafront, the cleaning extravaganza will begin at 12pm sharp – with special Kraken binbags, litter pickers and safety equipment provided for all.

A joint initiative between The Kraken and marine conservation charity partner PADI AWARE, the two-hour clean-up will aim to clear every piece of litter from Brighton Beach – and for those looking to take it one step further, limited positions will be available to go beneath the depths of the sea and quite literally dive for debris.

Then, after a brisk morning of environmental adventuring in honour of The Beast, a selection of delicious Kraken Rum cocktails will be awaiting the return of those adventuring the clean on land or sea – and can be simply redeemed by handing over a full bag of litter!

THIS REGISTRATION IS FOR THE BEACH CLEAN ONLY

Wear a mask please

Wear a mask

PLEASE CONTINUE TO WEAR A MASK WHIST IN THE DIVE CENTRE

At Ocean View, staying health is a key part to our ability to teach our courses.

We have recently had a team member off sick with covid (caught at work), and another isolating, causing a huge strain on the rest of the team whilst working at 50% capacity, this caused a lot of disruption to students courses.

This virus can also cause a problem for you, our customers, with regards to your fitness to dive.

Now that the restrictions have changed, the lack of distancing and not wearing masks could put us and you at risk.
We have made the decision that for now, we still require our staff and customers to continue to wear masks and distance.

We ask you respect this request when you come to visit the centre. If you do not want to wear a mask or distance in the centre, please understand we will take extra precautions with you, and depending on what your needs are, we may ask you to wait outside whilst we do our best to help you safely.

If you have any symptoms PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THE CENTRE until you are certain you are clear.

We thank you for your continued support, and we thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Pool Open April 2021

WE ARE OPENING THE POOL UP AGAIN!

We are very happy to announce that the Ocean View Diving Services Pool will be open again from Monday 12th April 2021.

Initially, as per the government guidelines, we can offer hires for individuals or the single households.

We are resuming children’s courses courses straight away, and we can offer 1:1 training for adults in an educational setting.

SCUBA REVIEW

If you have not dived for a while, now is the time to book yourself onto a Scuba Review, it’s much better to refresh your skills in the safety of the pool than to find yourself a bit rusty out on a dive off the coast. Now more than ever it is best to be cautious and be particularly safe with your diving. Give us a call to find out what times we can get you booked in.

DRYSUIT DIVER

If your holiday plans are on hold this year, which is the case for so many of us, and you are likely to be stay-cationing in the UK, but still want to get some diving in, then you want to be diving in a drysuit for comfort and warmth.

Give us a call or send an email to ask any questions, or get booked onto one of our Drysuit courses, we are running 1:1 training in April to make the most of the early season.

The revised schedule can be found here.

Please call us for details of the courses and dates available.

Stay Safe.

See you all soon
The Ocean View Team
