We teach a wide variety of people to dive from 10yrs old upwards, there is no age limit! You just need to meet the medical requirements. Many retired people take up the sport now that they have more spare time on their hands, ladies aged from 18 to 70 who want to do something for themselves, couples of all ages and people seeking adventure. We also specialise in teaching families to dive. We are dedicated to ensuring that you are happy and if we feel that you require more training after your course finishes we will offer you more dates for you to practice and develop.
Scuba reviews and refresher courses are available for qualified divers, we also offer "splashes" at our numerous pool sessions where you can hire equipment, practice your skills or just get yourself back into the swing of things before the next dive trip! Bookings must be made and paid for prior to the session.
