What do our customers think? Read on....
It is easy to see why this is a five star PADI centre. We both started with a try dive as neither of us are strong swimmers so weren't sure if diving was going to be possible. In the first 5 minutes of being in the pool I simply wanted to get out however, Rob, our instructor, was fantastic, his approach was perfect and I am so grateful to him for giving us a great insight into diving. I soon settled and by the end of the hour we were 100% sure that we wanted to do more. If you are unsure about scuba I can 100% recommend a try dive, even if you are not strong swimmers or don't even like getting your head under the water. By the end I am sure you will be hooked. We have now just completed our Open water referral course with Dive Machine with Sam who has the same professional manor and makes you feel at ease under her instruction in the water, especially as we were never left unsupervised in the water, which is perfect for this course as we are beginners. We can not hesitate to recommend this friendly family run business to anyone who is interested in starting or developing their diving experience. Naomi and Phil Jan 2008
