In Britain’s Ocean City, We Still Dive Daily

Our lessons are the perfect choice for anyone who’s ever wanted to learn something a little different. Use our world class facilities to practice on springboards, perfect your platform diving, and train your developing skills at our dry diving facility.

In Britain’s Ocean City, We Reach New Heights
Test your skills, your nerve, and your determination with a vertical journey up the tallest climbing wall in the South West.
In Britain’s Ocean City, we don’t just dive deep – we climb high. Our walls range from 6 to 16 metres high and are the perfect test for anyone wondering how they would fare when faced with Everest. Though not quite as tall as that, our walls still pose a mighty challenge for anyone brave enough to take them on.
You won’t be left to face the climbs by yourself, however. Our expert coaches will be right there beside you to guide you, cheer you on, and give you the confidence you need to scale all the way up to the top. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert climber, these sessions are sure to get the heart racing and your body moving.


In Britain’s Ocean City, We Bowl All Year Round
Luckily for the bowls enthusiasts out there, or anyone tempted to give it a go, we’ve got just the thing to keep you busy. Our indoor bowls rink is the perfect venue for you to get competitive, stay social, and inject a bit of fun into your day.
With both social and competitive bowls options available at our Plymouth Life Centre Indoor Bowls Club (which so far is 650 members strong), you can choose exactly how you want to play it. Want to challenge your bowls abilities against some opponents (and even join a league)? Or are you more in the mood for a casual game with other members of the community? It’s all up to you.
There’s also coaching available if you want to work on your skills a little more and eventually become a master of your craft. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to get out of the house and interact with the people around you over a friendly game, then look no further.
