A premier dive centre, offering an exceptional learning experience for divers, especiallty those interested in advanced and technical diving. The centre's foundation is rooted in the experience and passion of its founder, Scott, who began diving at just 10 years old. His journey took him from his first dive in the Caribbean to the rich waters of Scotland and, eventually, to Norfolk in England. Scott's expertise was shaped by his extensive training with the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC). His diving interests evolved over the years, delving into technical diving in 2001 and earning Technical Instructor qualifications with PSAI. A particular enthusiast of Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) diving since 2011, Scott brings this advanced knowledge to his students. Clare, Scott’s partner, equally shares a passion for diving. She is currently exploring extended-range diving, with a keen interest in Mexico's caverns and the seals of the Farne Islands. As a qualified British Divers Marine Mammal Medic, Clare also contributes to marine conservation, particularly in rescuing seals along the Norfolk coast. The combination of Scott and Clare’s expertise, enthusiasm, and commitment to marine conservation offers a unique and enriching learning environment for all divers.
