Ocean ViewDive center

Ocean View has been running on the Sussex coast at Lancing for more than 30 years, and this PADI 5 Star IDC Center still keeps adding things. Freediving and mermaid courses are the latest arrivals, alongside technical diving through PADI TecRec. It has its own heated pool and classroom on site, so a course can happen entirely under one roof.

The shop also services all the major equipment brands in its Lancing service centre. An active dive club meets every Wednesday evening, and the team arranges UK trips and holidays abroad. Younger divers have the PADI Seal Team program.
