The best first diving holiday i could ask for !

I recently went to Marsa shagra in Egypt with Diveworld, all i can say is Louise and Steve have really created an amazing community of divers who really support anyone through any kind of issue they’re having ! The holiday was perfectly planned and despite Louise unfortunately not being able to join us it went off without any issues, and i could feel her support through all of the other women on the holiday who all offered me advice that had been handed down to them by her. The first day i struggled with some anxiety about being on my first diving holiday, but steve really was a great support and helped me get through that with his brand of slightly tough love. After that small hitch the rest of the holiday was glorious, i was completely anxiety free and i had the best time of my life, i managed to tick off some bucket list animals i have always dreamed to see and do a big variety of dive profiles. I also completed my deep diver specialty and once again Steve was great at instructing and really made the dives educational yet fun. If you ever want to do a diving holiday i would highly recommend learning from these guys and booking on to the next trip. Marsa shagra 2025 trip can’t come soon enough !

A fantastic bunch of great divers!

A fantastic bunch of super experienced and friendly divers always willing to go the extra mile to make your scuba adventure as great as possible. Great training, unparalleled support and the great feeling of being a part of a scuba family. I've done my Dry Suit specialty with them and will be coming for more. Always a great atmosphere.
I can't recommend Diveworld enough.

It’s a dive FAMILY!

It’s not a Dive Club it’s a Dive “Family”!
From out first experience when we completed a “Try-a-dive” to Open Water Divers then Advanced Divers, every step has been a pleasure. We have just returned back from our 4th Dive Trip and now logged over 100 dives.
Lou and Steve (plus the rest of the dive crew) are friendly, engaging, encouraging and extremely competent, do not go anywhere else to learn to dive.
We are already contemplating our trip in June next year and yes it WILL be with Dive World.
Thank you for giving us the confidence to dive as a buddy pair and thoroughly love the sport.
If Carlsberg did dive clubs……. Then this would be the one!

Best dive school

Have had a discover scuba experience and completed my open water with Diveworld, and recently went on the group trip to Egypt. Louise and Steve are always fantastic, Lou is always so organised and helpful, she has helped myself and my partner with lots of great deals on kit prior to the holiday. The trip to Egypt was magic, Louise sadly couldn’t join us but was very helpful throughout even while in the U.K.! The Egypt trip had groups, couples and solo travellers, with everyone getting on well and being very friendly. Diving here was superb and great for a range of abilities. Will defo book in to do my advanced open water with Diveworld soon! Thank you so much to Diveworld for helping me to experience the amazing underwater world, something I never thought I would be brave enough to do

Amazing first class club

From day one of contacting Louise and asking about getting into diving she has been amazing always answered any questions I have and given good advice from diving experiences, training, courses and kits. Louise really knows her stuff and she has made me feel at ease completing my training. Iv been introduced to a diving community by Louise and met some great people along the way, I can’t wait to keep developing my skills.

I did all my pool work with Steve both open water and dry suit from pool to open water. Steve gave me knowledge of the kit and skills in the pool while showing patience and creating a fun learning atmosphere. When we got into the open water he made me feel safe from the get go starting with the briefs to getting in and doing the skills again knowing I had him on hand to show me any areas I needed to improve. Over the 5 dives I have done this weekend Steve has been amazing and demonstrates the kind of diver I hope to be.

Jack was there to help Steve along with the course and was a massive help. Jacks a great diver and made the course feel more like a family than just a lesson

Brad volunteered his time to help Steve and helped us all out with the kits and making sure we were all geared up properly to complete a safe dive.

All in all everyone at Diveworld are amazing. The team are first class and always happy to help. I will be doing more with this club and recommending everyone I know

Diveworld is a credit to the diving industry

The diveworld instructors really are the real deal! Had an amazing time earning my Open water and dry suit specialty. The weekend at Capernwray run by Steve and George was great, despite freezing temperatures i always ended each dive with a grin on my face. I feel like my theory with Louise and my practical skills that i have built with a few of their instructors really are setting me up to be a confident and competent diver. Can’t wait to continue developing my dive portfolio with these guys !

As a freediving and mermaid instructor…

As a freediving and mermaid instructor at Diveworld, I've had the privilege of experiencing firsthand the incredible work this center does, both in and out of the water. Diveworld isn't just about promoting underwater activities; it's about fostering a community and passion for the ocean.

The heart and soul of Diveworld are Lou and Steve, a couple whose dedication and attention to detail are unparalleled. They're not just running a business; they're nurturing a family of ocean enthusiasts. Their commitment to individual growth, skill development, and ensuring everyone's well-being is truly commendable.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Diveworld is the sense of community they've built. It's a place where everyone, regardless of their experience level, feels welcomed, valued, and proud to be part of something bigger than themselves. This isn't just a diving center; it's a hub where like-minded individuals come together to share their love for the ocean.

I am immensely grateful for the experiences I've had with Diveworld and for the impact they continue to make on the diving community. Their passion is infectious, their dedication is inspiring, and their impact is profound. Thank you, Diveworld, for everything you do and for making us all feel blessed to be part of your incredible journey

Was a pleasure to learn to dive with diveworld . Louise was particularly friendly and you were made to feel part of things from day one. The instructors were brilliant and you felt totally safe and educated for your own safety and the safety of others throughout the course. Looking forward to doing some other courses with them in the near future.

Great people, course and left feeling prepared and excited to dive

First time Diver with no experience, had an excellent introduction to diving by all the people at Diveworld. All very friendly, very helpful and extremely knowledgeable.
Just completed my Open Water and it was great fun. Top notch instructors that really cared, took their time with me/us and made sure that not only did we learn and grow, but that it was fun and interesting too. Highly recommended.

To add to this when I went to do my first real dive in Reunion I found that, even though it was my first time, I was more knowledgeable and better prepared than other Divers there. Credit to the team at dive world.

PADI Open Water Course

I've just completed my PADI Open Water Diving Course with Diveworld and can't recommend them enough!

Louise was incredibly supportive throughout the learning and confined dive training stages and during the open water dives our instructors Steve and Ryan were fantastic, providing great advice and ensuring everyone was supported throughout.

I plan to continue diving with Diveworld with full confidence that they will help me reach new depths in my diving skills.

If you're looking for an excellent diving experience and high quality courses, Diveworld is the perfect choice.

Marsa Shagra trip 2023

This was my first overseas trip organised by Diveworld and it did not disappoint! Having dived all over the world, I thought I'd seen it all.. but apparently not! Louise & Steve did a fantastic job of providing us with all the information we needed, including organising extra luggage, before we departed and travel went without a hitch! Once there, diving with the rest of our Diveworld family was simply one of the best experiences I've had in all my years of diving. Louise & Steve always went above and beyond to ensure our experience was the best it could be and I cannot recommmend Diveworld enough for organising trips both in the UK and abroad. Cant wait for the next one!

"Capernwray"

Excellent weekend up at Capernwray organised by Dive World. Steve, Richard, Paul and Chris who put me through two of my speciality courses, were all fantastic and passed on many years of experience and knowledge to make learning new skills possible in very cold water temperatures ( 6 degrees ).
Thanks Guys !

Personal and professional diving instruction to Rescue diver

Our son has been trained to Open Water by Diveworld previously, but then at short notice had to be trained to Rescue Diver to allow him to undertake a course at Falmouth University. Diveworld put together a package immediately and then provided our son with one to one tuition. He thoroughly enjoyed the course and passed. He has ADHD and Autism traits which Diveworld were sensitive to and as a result our son applied himself to the task. Diveworld provided both a personal and professional service which we would thoroughly recommend.

PADI Basic Freediver Pool With Laura

This course was Amazing!!!

All of the exercises and skills were explained thoroughly and clearly before we tried them. Any questions that arose during the exercises were also answered perfectly. There was a huge emphasis on safety and checking in with your buddy and the instructor helped us get lots of experience with being a good buddy. In the pool our instructor was watching close by as a back up which made me feel safe and supported the whole time. The instructor provided challenges and advice according to each person in the groups ability meaning everyone in the group made loads of progress and felt good about what they had achieved.

It was clear that Laura loves teaching freediving and cares about making sure everyone learns lots, has fun and does everything safely.

Definitely one of the best skills courses I’ve been on!

Im super exited to do more freediving with diveworld in the future!

Diveworld. Well where to start from my first phone call to them have been brilliant was so friendly had me down booked on a course and passed in 4 weeks start to finish. Obviously this time of year people are not queuing up to learn to dive in freezing conditions but they delivered to the point of giving me 1 to 1 training on my course at no extra cost to me to keep to there dates what I found exceptional as I have a trip planned. Absolute top level training provided. These guys are the best honestly I have absolutely no issues. got invited to the Christmas party what again was a brilliant night been invited on all the trips they have on. If you are looking for scuba diving training look no further honestly absolutely fantastic
