Whether you're new to diving or looking to build your confidence from day one, we specialise in high-quality entry-level training that sets you up for success.
Our focus is on small, bespoke groups, giving you the attention and time needed to develop strong foundational skills — especially neutral buoyancy and great underwater control. You’ll learn in a supportive, stylish environment designed to build both skill and confidence — so when you enter the water, you do so with purpose and precision.
What sets us apart is our instructor development pedigree. Every Diving Lessons Manchester instructor is trained and mentored through VanOverbeekTechnical.com, under the direct leadership of Oli Van Overbeek — one of the UK’s most respected technical diving educators.
Oli is a highly experienced diver and instructor trainer with decades of exploration and teaching behind him. Specialising in RAID and TDI systems, Oli has built a reputation for delivering elite-level training across both recreational and technical disciplines. His commitment to quality, performance, and diver safety shapes everything we do.
