Having learnt to dive in the warm waters of the Far East, I was intrigued to see what the UK had to offer. 4 years and a few hundred dives later Diveworld are responsible for an awesome journey from Drysuit Diver to Rescue to Divemaster and finally OWSI. You know when you learn 2 dive with Diveworld you’re going to come out of the end a quality diver with some quality memories. The professionalism mixed with the teams energy is the best I’ve seen from a club or dive shop; and the courses, trips and diving holidays on offer are never ending. A personal favourite is the Plymouth wreck diving weekend, a must-not-miss if you like rusty lumps of metal full of history and life!!! Keep up the great work Steve and Lou!!

Weather you need instruction, advice or just some fun dives dive world has you covered.

I learned to dive with Diveworld a few years ago and have done several specialisms since. Always friendly and approachable, and always feels safe, with the instructors totally in control.

Great dive center with amazing staff that teach many amazing courses from beginner to professional. Highly recommend dive world

Diveworld offers a wide range and depth of expertise for all levels of divers. Friendly and experienced staff who all walk the talk. Want to learn to dive, then look no further.

Just absolutely brilliant! As a freediver by trade, they made the learning and transition to scuba so easy and so enjoyable! Wonderful team, lovely people and the instructors are fantastic, they know their stuff so well. Put me right at ease and made me want to scuba all the time now, hoping to become a permanent member of their family!

I learnt to dive with Diveworld in 2005 and have continued my diving journey with them. This is a friendly, experienced and professional dive centre which caters for all levels and abilities. Whether you’re wanting to try diving for the first time in a swimming pool or want to continue to a professional diving qualification, Diveworld is the only dive centre that you need to consider. In addition to providing excellent diving instruction, they also organise UK and overseas trips and holidays, all highly recommended by me.

As a Diveworld scuba instructor I have seen the club from both student and staff member prospective. I have seen the professional way that training is given and also the time, effort and encouragement that Steve and Louise put into training their staff to the highest standards. I am proud to be a member of the Diveworld team and would recommend them to anyone starting out on their scuba journey or continuing your dive education.

Whether you’re along for your first scuba experience or studying to be an instructor you’re guaranteed professional guidance and a friendly welcome from everyone at Diveworld. I’ve joined them on their trips overseas and weekends away around the UK, along with completing my recreational and professional courses over several years and can’t praise the dive team enough. Highly recommended.

I first met Steve and Lou who run Diveworld at their shop where I bout some equipment for an upcoming holiday. I passed my Padi open water and on my return was keen to join Diveworld for one of their club nights at Ponds forge. I was made to feel welcome and safe. All of their instructors are brilliant at teaching and in a fun way too. I passed my Padi advanced diver with them and I'm now signed up for rescue diver. I can highly recommend Diveworld either for a beginner like me or to improve what you already know.

5 star service from a PADI 5 star center. I first joined Diveworld 7 years ago to take my dive master course. I enjoyed the ambience and professional encouragement so much that I stayed on their team as a dive master, and later with the support of Lou and Steve progressed forward to become an assistant instructor. I've dived all over the world in the last 12 years with various dive operations, and nowhere else have I encountered the professionalism, encouragement and humor that this company projects Thanks Lou, Steve and the rest of the team.

Excellent Dive Centre in all respects

I joined Diveworld as an OW diver but with only a few dozen dives in warm waters. My aim was to learn drysuit diving for British waters and also further my other diving skills. Lou and Steve were very welcoming from the offset and helped me plan out my training to make the most of the weather here and join the many trips they organise! Have a look at the blog on the learn2dive website! The family-like club atmosphere is hugely appealing and there is a wide variety of trips and activities that run throughout the year, for all diving levels! While I certainly enjoy warm relaxing dives and spend most of my time pointing a camera at fishies, I have also progressed technically through Diveworld's courses, guidance and the peer-support within. I've gained confidence gradually and will soon be looking at progressing through Rescue stages. Safety is the main factor in my diving practice and Diveworld constantly strives to offer the highest quality training and equipment. All the instructors are beyond reproach and excel at making dives fun and memorable, regardless of the diving conditions! Diving is not a cheap sport but Diveworld definitely gives you 100% quality and peace of mind.

Louise and Steve go out of the way to make the experience enjoyable and rewarding. I would highly recommend, this Divecentre , if you want the full diving experience.

I have started learning to dive, as I was the one stood on the side watching everyone else having fun. The experience is out of this world, everyone should give it a try. My 14 year old son trained with them along with my husband, I now get to dive with the rest of my family. This has all been achieved through the support from Steve and Louise at Diveworld. The staff are very friendly, give clear instructions, and guide you through every process. They are a very dedicated bunch, their enjoyment of the sport inspires you to want to achieve more. I would recommend them over and over again.

Great technical advice & great training (full face mask). 100% recommended for sure.

I highly recommend Dive world for experienced and inexperienced first time divers as I was. From the moment I walked into the Diveworld shop I knew I was in the right place for me . Steve and Louise are very professional and they’re no nonsense approach made me feel extremely safe and in good hands.All Diveworld instructors are there to help and encourage you every single step of the way to reach your goal, gaining your PADI certification. All equipment is provided and is of the highest standard and very well looked after. When I gained my PADI certificate I was able to go on and dive abroad confidently and could see by watching other experienced divers that I had been trained extremely well and was more than capable of diving independently .Thank you to all at Diveworld for your patience, humour and kindness . Arlene 😊

Friendly, unbelievably helpful and extremely enthusiastic. Probably the best dive school I've ever dealt with! Completely recommend Diveworld to anyone who is wanting to try scubadiving, learn basics through any of the courses or develop their existing skills.

What a great friendly team, did my open water, my boys jr open water and attend several club nights. Helped me out several times with minor kit issues.

Having experienced several excellent dive trips both in the UK and abroad, I highly recommend this organisation to anyone wising to learn to dive, also to existing divers looking for a highly professional and very friendly club offering the full range of qualifications and well organised trips!
