Technical Boat Dives

DNQY's technical boat trips are designed to be easy, fun and enjoyable, perfect for advanced divers looking to explore the more technical wrecks the south West has to offer.

With reefs and wrecks, DNQY has the facilities to cater your technical diving trip to your diving needs. We cannot recommend our wrecks enough though, the U1021 is the crowning jewel of Cornwall and should be on any technical UK diver's bucket list!

These technical boat trips are deigned for divers who have a minimum of 40m depth rating and decompressure procedures training (or equivalent).

Minimum age rating is 18, 15 with parental consent.

For all DNQY boat dives, an SMB is essential. For technical boat dives, both an orange and yellow SMB are required.

For any premixed Nitrox or Trimix fills, proof of certification is required upon collection from DNQY.
