CLOSED
Returning As Something New In Late 2026
After some truly incredible years we are going to be taking a break from operating as a commercial entity BUT … Dive Arran will be back in a new form in late 2026!
​
Why Change?
As our previous students know all of us do this on our days off and alongside our many other commitments here on Arran. For lots of reasons across our volunteer team we’ve chosen to take a break from being a commercial business. With some travelling and time to focus on our own diving we’ll now be offline until late 2026 when we reform as something new.
​
2026 and beyond ...
Whilst Dive Arran Ltd is now closed our Pro dive team remain on Arran and ‘Dive Arran’ will be back in a new form in late 2026. We'll share more on this in due course however if you have been a previous student or reside on Arran then we would love for you to keep in touch and possibly even help you with your next scuba adventure.
Our website and Facebook page will be kept up to date and we’ll announce our next stage when everyone is back together.
The team behind it all...
A huge shout out to our core team members Rich, Amy, Jess and Mark plus all others that supported along the way. A very special mention to Andrew at Arran Active and the team at COAST whose unwavering logistical support enabled this to all happen. Hopefully everyone will continue to be part of the next chapter when we return.
​
What about our PADI Status?
We will remain a PADI Dive Resort (S28852) and in 2026 work on developing our future direction. A big thanks to Rachel and the team at PADI EMEA for their unwavering support and encouragement in enabling scuba diving education to continue on our small island.
All Pro dive team members remain authorised to teach to their respective levels - each of us hold separate membership levels with PADI outside our roles within Dive Arran. You can check the status of any PADI Pro via the official check tool
The Formal bit ...
Dive Arran Ltd formally ceased trading on 31st July 2025. There is no future connection between 'Dive Arran Ltd - SC677009' and the brand identity of 'Dive Arran' including the logo which will go on to represent our future scuba diving ventures.
Thanks and see you again next year…
Rich
