Located in the coastal town of Selsey, near Chichester, our dive centre is the heart of Sussex Diving and the base from which many of our diving activities begin.
Whether you're taking your first breaths underwater, continuing your PADI training, preparing for a UK dive, collecting new equipment or simply popping in for a cylinder fill and a chat, you'll find our team at 9 Orchard Parade, Selsey.
We are a PADI 5 Star Dive Centre, providing diver training, equipment, air and Nitrox fills, equipment hire and support for recreational divers throughout West Sussex, Hampshire and beyond.
For us, the dive centre is more than a shop. It's the hub of the Sussex Diving community and the place where many of our students begin their diving journey.

Sussex Diving is located in Selsey on the Manhood Peninsula, approximately eight miles south of Chichester.
From Chichester and the A27, follow signs for Selsey and join the B2145. Continue south towards Selsey and follow the road into the town.
Once in Selsey, follow signs towards East Beach and Orchard Parade. Sussex Diving is located within the Orchard Parade shopping area, with parking immediately outside.
As well as operating the dive centre, our team spends a considerable amount of time doing what you'd expect from a dive centre — teaching and diving. Our shop opening hours are therefore structured around our training and operational commitments.

Attending a Course or Dive?
Please check your joining instructions before travelling.
Not every Sussex Diving activity starts at the dive centre.
Depending on your course or planned diving, you may be asked to meet us directly at a swimming pool, beach, inland dive site, marina or boat departure point.
Your booking or joining information will confirm where you need to be and when.
If you're unsure, please contact us before setting off — we'd much rather answer a quick question than have you waiting for us at the wrong location.
