Testimonials

Jennifer King

"I had an incredible experience completing my Open Water Diver course with James. He made the whole process feel comfortable and was very patient, encouraging, and made learning fun. I really appreciated his flexibility with scheduling, which made it easy to fit the course into my life. I came away feeling confident in the water, and I'm already looking forward to taking the advanced course. I'd absolutely recommend him to anyone interested in diving."

Sarah Hough

"I was so excited to learn to dive, but I somehow discovered new fears I didn't know I had! James was calm, patient, and encouraging the whole way, helping me overcome everything whilst having such an incredible time and really enjoying myself. I honestly couldn't have finished the course without him — an unforgettable experience! I'm so happy to have completed it and to have learned a new skill that I'll carry with me for life."
