Great choice and advice

Down at Falmouth and had a chat with a young lad wearing Andark branding pulling washed up fishing line out the ocean, if that's the sort of people Andark hires then it must be a place worth shopping
Scuba Diving you'll love.
If you’re looking for a new hobby, diving could be your next great adventure. Andark Diving and Watersports have great diving facilities and diving instructors and staff who's passion shines through. Having not dived in over 20 years I did a refresher there last night. I was a bit nervous, but that turned to excitement pretty quickly after instructor David delivered a comprehensive, fun session. I'm counting the days until until my next dive. Highly recommended
100% recommended, Katie is such a good instructor. Very kind and patient.
