My first concern is for your safety. Scuba Diving is not a hard activity to become comfortable with, but it is very important that you acquire the necessary skills to enjoy your dives. I specialise in presenting the underwater world safely, informatively and in a friendly and fun environment.

From recreational holiday diving or PADI Open Water to technical diving, both warm water and cold water and from beginner to instructor courses I have something for everyone.

Diving experience:

1000's of dives - warm & cold water, Inland & costal, currents, good & bad visibility, clean & dirty water.
