Aquanorth

Aquanorth is a PADI 5 Star IDC diving centre based in the North East of England. Now established as the premier North-East centre for instructor and professional development training, it's a natural home for divers in Newcastle upon Tyne who want to grow their skills — or take the step toward teaching.

Courses and diving

The centre runs the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course, spread across approximately 2 days, with prices from USD 408. Local diving at Browns Bay gives students accessible water to build confidence and log time close to home.

On-site facilities include a classroom, parking and a dive boat, so training and briefings stay under one roof. Aquanorth also offers equipment sales and scuba rental, with kit ranging from BCDs, regulators and gauges to masks, fins and wetsuits in shorty, 3mm and 5mm. With courses taught in English, it suits North-East divers looking to advance their qualifications and professionals developing their careers.
