Aquaholics

Aquaholics is an established PADI 5 Star Dive Centre on the Causeway Coast of Northern Ireland, offering courses, dives and equipment sales for divers of every level. Run by Richard Lafferty, who has been boating and diving these waters for over 30 years, the centre has taken thousands of people out with a single aim: an unforgettable, enjoyable time on the water.

Courses and diving

Whether you're stepping in for the first time or building on existing skills, the course list runs the full range — from PADI Discover Scuba Diving and the Scuba Refresher through to Enriched Air Diver, Open Water Referral, the Open Water Diver Course and Advanced Open Water Diver. As a HSE-registered, IDEST-approved test centre with qualified service technicians, Aquaholics also handles air fills, nitrox, mixed gas, and scuba and kids' equipment rental.

Divers explore local sites such as Portnahapple, with the chance to encounter sharks, whales and turtles. A waterfront location, house reef, onsite classroom, retail shop, free Wi-Fi and dive boat make it a well-equipped base for exploring this stretch of coast.
