Getting to Chepstow
Chepstow is easy to reach from London, Surrey and Berkshire. It takes approximately 1.5 hours from the M4/M25 Junction. For non-drivers we can normally find someone willing to give you a lift in exchange for a contribution towards petrol, alternatively there is a mainline station in Chepstow. The dive centre is approximately a 10 minute cab ride away.
Friendly staff and well equipped, it is the place to improve your skills, qualifications and experience. Improving your diving – your buoyancy control, photographic skills or wreck penetration will set you apart from the average diver. It also opens up a whole set of new adventures and experiences to enjoy.
The NDAC has purpose built Wig Wams on site, very affordable, warm and cosy! On Saturday evening we normally head to the local town of Chepstow for a decent meal and a glass of wine.
