Phenomenal, tailored service.

Oli went above and beyond to make sure I had not only the skills required for completing our course together, but also practical knowledge and skills that I have taken forward and applied to my everyday diving.

A great instructor and mentor for any level of student. Highly recommend!

Oli is a fantastic instructor teaching in a way that makes sense by putting the skills you learning into a context. Rather than just a platform but in a dynamic situation whilst giving safe opportunities to make decisions based on the theory and discussions on the course. Recommended him for any technical training in the north of England.

Your diving questions, answered

Dive in with confidence

Curious about learning to scuba dive? We’re here to help you feel prepared, safe, and excited for your underwater adventure. Find answers to the most common questions from new and future divers.

Do I need experience to start?

No experience needed! Our beginner sessions are designed for absolute newcomers. We’ll guide you step by step, making sure you feel comfortable and supported from your very first breath underwater.

What should I bring to my first lesson?

Just bring swimwear, a towel, and your enthusiasm! We provide all the diving equipment you’ll need for your pool session. If you have your own mask or fins, feel free to bring them along.

How big are the training groups?

We keep our groups small—usually 4-6 people—so you get plenty of personal attention. This way, you can learn at your own pace and build real confidence in the water.

Where do the lessons take place?

Our weekly pool sessions are held at local Manchester pools, and we organize regular trips to nearby dive sites for open water training. You’ll always know exactly where to meet and what to expect.
