I have been diving for many years and it still fascinates me about how many creatures there are and how many are yet to discover.

Rob Arc

I have been diving for many years and love the feeling of weightlessness underwater and exploring places only few get to adventure to. Now I get to teach people so they can have this experience too.

From the first moment I put my head underwater at my DSD I was transported to a place so amazing, so calm and peaceful and that was before I saw the beauty the ocean holds, I became an instructor so I could help others to see a world only open to those who Scuba, such a happy, beautiful, calming yet exhilarating world, my happy place.

Neil Puckering

Being underwater is a clam and beautiful place no matter where you are in the world and I wanted to become an instructor so that I could be part give other people the opportunity to be apart of that world too.

Helen Power
Assistant Instructor
Absolutely fell in love with diving many years ago - something which I have always wanted to do from childhood. The Red Sea feels like my second home. I just love the peace and quiet, and of course those curious sharks that come and say hello.
Ash Horwitz

Assistant Instructor
Diving has been one of the most amazing adventures of my life.
The world that we get to be part of is mesmerising and you could enter that world too.
Can't wait to see you there!

Tom Wiggins
Divemaster
Above the water, I dive because it allows me to meet like minded people and discover incredible new places. Below the water I dive because being underwater strips back what matters and what doesn't doesn't, which is great for calm and for focus!

Steve Barnett
Divemaster
I came to diving when I was 40 diving mostly in Cyprus and the UK.
After becoming a Divemaster and recently moving to Yorkshire I want to explore more of the UK dive sites and help others explore too.

Why do I dive?
For me it is the best way to destress and forget all but what you are doing in the now. These are such different worlds to be seen and shared, you have all seen the small Blue Planet on TV so now come and see it for real. Scuba diving is a social sport to be enjoyed by everyone, there is no can't in scuba so come, jump in and share the experience.

Harry Pomfret
Divemaster
Watching Planet Earth when I was 6 made me wanted to go and see the underwater world for myself. I can still remember my first dive. I want to be able to give that experience to other people and help welcome them to our beautiful underwater world.

Amy Metcalfe
Divemaster
Since I was six, walking along the beach in Florida, I became fascinated with the ocean, marine life, finding interesting shells and crustaceans. I get to see amazing marine life up close and would love to be involved in marine rescue and conservation in the future.

I love the freedom that comes with diving, being opened up to a whole new world. Exploring places most people don’t see.

Lorna West
Divemaster Trainee
At 14, I tried scuba diving on the holiday Ibiza and I was hooked! I love seeing the joy and awe in new divers and experienced divers reigniting their passion for diving and i want to help people achieve that by becoming an instructor.
