Every diver is somewhere on the way down.
Pick the stage that sounds like you. If you're not sure, that's exactly what a first chat is for.
Building confidence
You're certified and want more from every dive. Better buoyancy, deeper sites, wrecks worth the trip.
Learning to lead
Your first professional step. Guiding, assisting and becoming the diver others look to when it matters.
Ready to teach
The IDC with a Course Director, then the ratings that make you properly employable.
Going technical
Beyond recreational limits with the planning, gas and discipline that keep you coming home.
You won't be signed off and forgotten about.
This isn't a production line. I'd rather train fewer people well than push numbers through. Here's what that means in practice.
Built around real life
Jobs, kids, money, shifts. Your GO PRO course fits around them, not the other way round. If it takes longer, it takes longer.
An open door, for good
Questions a year after your course? A tricky student? Just want to talk diving? The door stays open.
Taught by someone still diving
Sidemount, wrecks and tec are what I do on my own days off, not just what I teach.
From Divemaster to Staff Instructor, with the same person.
Past the recreational line.
Decompression diving, gas planning and accelerated deco, taught with the patience it deserves. Sidemount or backmount, we'll work out what suits your diving.

Run an IDC on your own doorstep, develop your instructor team or rebuild a training programme that's lost its spark. I work with centres in the UK and abroad, on a project or an ongoing basis.
Home waters, and a long way from them.
UK lakes & coast
Where most training starts, and where good habits get made.
Cyprus
Warm, clear and full of wrecks, from the Constandis off Limassol to the Zenobia at Larnaca. Ideal for Tec and specialties.
Egypt & the Red Sea
Reefs, wrecks and liveaboards.
Further afield
Australia, Chuuk Lagoon and wherever a partner centre needs me.
Quarries, piers and grey mornings.
Most of the real learning happens here: drysuits, cool water and kit loaded in the back of the truck. If you can dive well in the UK, you can dive well anywhere.
In their words
“If you get the opportunity to learn from Scott, take it! You won't just get world class training, you'll gain a mentor and a friend for life.”
“One thing that really sets Scott apart is the time he takes to make sure his students understand not just how to do something, but why.”
“If it's not clicking, he'll find another way to explain it, every time, no judgment.”
Not sure where to start? Neither was I, once.
Drop me a line about where you are and where you'd like to get to. No hard sell, just an honest conversation.
