PADI Discover Scuba Diving w Basingstoke

It all started back in 1990 when Simon, a passionate dive instructor, stumbled upon the irresistible beauty of Gili Trawangan. Over the years, as travelers looked for an alternative to bustling Bali, they discovered the Gili islands' sandy beaches, lively nightlife, and vibrant coral reefs—and we grew right along with that buzz! Fast-forward to today, and we're thrilled to offer everything from beginner courses to instructor-level and technical diving education across Indonesia and this centre in Hampshire, UK. In fact, technical diving is a passion close to Simon's heart, and he continues to teach some of our most advanced courses. Simon and our seasoned team have put us on the map—quite literally! They've discovered iconic dive sites like the Japanese World War II Wreck, Tunang Wall, and even named one after Simon himself. After exploring Komodo for over 15 years, we've also unearthed hidden gems within the national park. And if you're into breaking boundaries, you're in good company! Simon holds the record for the deepest dive on an unmodified closed-circuit rebreather, while our senior instructor, Will, has set two world records himself. For the women who dare, meet Theresia, one of only two female technical diving instructors in Southeast Asia qualified for advanced courses. We're humbled to have received multiple awards from PADI, recognising our contributions to diving education and the industry. Our focus is always on you, ensuring that you enjoy a blend of top-notch safety standards and exceptional customer service. In the spirit of making you feel right at home, our latest dive centre is cosily situated in the Hampshire countryside. Here, we offer a variety of PADI and TDI courses. And if you're new to diving, why not dip your toes into our warm, heated pool, conveniently located close to London and nearby towns? We love introducing people of all ages to the wonders of diving. Schools, families, or individuals—there's something for everyone! We even have a 'Learn Now, Dive Later' philosophy to maximise your fun time on holiday; you learn the theory with us and practice in confined water, and gain your open water experience abroad. And for the adventurous at heart, we curate one-of-a-kind dive holidays. So come on down—start as guests, and we're pretty sure you'll leave as part of our ever-growing family. See you underwater!
