Dos and Don'ts of Diving in Weymouth and Portland

Dos

DO Look right as you take the by-pass around Dorchester and get to the roundabout going left to Weymouth. The stadium is owned by our future King Charles. It is home to Dorchester Town Football Club. They hate Weymouth. And vice versa. Bored divers can watch a local derby and wonder why both sets of fans accuse each other of being in-bred. And wonder why the Police out-number the crowd. This is Dorset.

DO Visit O3 on the old Osprey site. Like in Jermy Street, London they are the Kingsman of bespoke suit fitters for the finest divers. If you already have a dry suit, you will need another soon when age catches up and Greggs chicken slices take their toll.

DO Choose your weekend accommodation wisely. Portland is closer to the sites. Weymouth is closer to the "action". Your call. If you like the wind and a quiet pint. Portland. If you like clubbing with drunk foreign language students and a fight with the locals. Weymouth.
