Garry Donaldson, PADI Staff Instructor
I was always fascinated by the undersea world and growing up in the Channel Islands gave me ample time to explore it as an avid snorkeler. When I got the opportunity to learn to dive I jumpeded straight in "literally!". Now with well over 25 years of scuba diving recreational and technical diving experience behind me, I still love it as much now as I did back then. As an added bonus I now have the opportunity to teach scuba diving while continuing and challenging myself to learn more about it day by day.
I'm always on hand to discuss all aspects of diving and if there's something I don't know, I usually know someone who can help out. Feel free to drop me a line or give me a call to discuss.

Jason Court, PADI MSDT
I have always loved being in the ocean either snorkelling or open water swimming. I came to SCUBA relatively late in life, but fell in love with it from my very first try dive. The world that it opens up takes my breath away every time I go under the water. The people I have met along the way have been amazing and I have made some great friends. I have been teaching now for a number of years enabling me to pass on my passion to others and to see people develop and grow gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction.
I am always available if you would like to discuss any aspect of diving whether it is just to answer a curiosity question or if you would like to know about a specific course don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Scuba diving is an amazing activity. I started diving in 2009, and have been hooked on this thrilling experience ever since. I learnt to dive in the UK, and continue to dive here all year round - possibly the coolest thing I do! I've also dived at various locations around the world - see the photos in the gallery.
I enjoy teaching diving and sharing the buzz with others, whether it is their first time or they are improving their skills.
Steve Audley, PADI MSDT
Since passing my Open Water in May 2012 I have become hooked on diving as a sport. Each year I've added to my training which in turn has added to my diving adventures.
I dive regularly in the UK, Spain and my passion is the Maldives. Having a very busy life/work style means that at 18m plus there is very little use for iPhone's and iPad's, you don't even have to deal with the issues of traffic, trains or everyday life. You are just cut off from reality in an aquatic world that’s your own. My continued training has allowed me to successfully complete my Open Water Scuba Instructor.
Danny Pilgrim, PADI Divemaster
Danny's long love of diving and enthusiasm is infectious. As a keen underwater photographer we all get regularly updated on his adventures (and ours) through his social media. Danny's been a divemaster for over 6 years and been diving for many years prior and is always on hand to give our students advice on diving techniques, kit and good places to dive.
While on one of our courses, you'll notice him always on hand (above or below the water) to help students and the instructors. Like everyone in the team, Danny is always on hand to answer any questions or queries.
