What people say about us
Having been frightened to death of going in a drysuit to coming out today buzzing , I can only thank Hugh & the team for their patience, understanding, funniness and for being my rock under the water he truly is the best
Beth C.
I've genuinely looked forward to a Thursday evening and diving, I feel like I had been missing out on so much before starting this course.
Hannah
I just wanted to personally thank you and the rest of the team for all your help through my course, I couldn't have done it without you. Hoping to go diving with the team again at some point in the future. Please give everyone else my thanks.

Geoff
Me and my husband have just completed and passed our Open Water Dive course. The Scuba Group members were very friendly, helpful and were always smiling. Nothing as too much trouble, everyone provided helpful advice.
Hilary
The whole family really enjoyed the experience of starting to learn a new skill (sub aqua complete novice pool session). We felt very safe and were given clear instructions throughout. We achieved more in the session than we anticipated and felt confident by the end.
Ruth I.
Your staff were brilliant with my daughter, thank you for taking the time to settle her nerves and get her excited about the sport. Much appreciated and hopefully we'll see you soon
Josh
The boys really loved it the diving experience last week! Unfortunately at the moment they won’t be taking it further only due to other commitments etc! But most definitely in the near future they will be looking to progress!
Adam E.
We were so unsure about SCUBA but our friends rave about it so a try dive seems the logical step. We're so glad we tried it first but we will be booking our course when funds allow
Stephanie
Thanks so much to you all, he had a brilliant time and was absolutely exhausted but buzzing. He can't wait to start his lessons
Elaine
Thankyou for the try dives yesterday, we both really enjoyed it and can't wait to get started on the actual course.

Our History
We started to offer courses for SSI during 2024 and as we engaged more with the system of learning we reviewed our practices and made the decision to become an SSI centre in 2025.
