Plymouth Sound also runs regular skill development courses in subjects like boat handling, oxygen administration, practical rescue management, nav aids and position fixing, chartwork, archaeology, marine identification. These are usually run by members with nationally recognised qualifications and are all designed to make you a better diver better able to enjoy your diving.

The Branch has it's own air compressor (with clean air filter for oxygen clean cylinders) and storage bank. Air is FREE to all members. The club has Nitrox and Trimix facilities and charges members £2 for Nitrox fills up to 36% and slightly more for deco mixes. And competitively priced Trimix
