“For me instruction/teaching really is a way of giving back to the sport, which gives me so much pleasure and enjoyment… I am a great advocate of UK diving and know that we live in one of the most diverse and exciting areas for diving, with an abundance of wildlife and magnificent coastal landscapes. ”
“Diving is a great pastime. I get immense satisfaction in taking those that are new to diving for try dives and introducing them to the underwater world”
“When I started I thought I would never make it as a diver and now I’m addicted and want to share that with others!! Ask me any silly dive questions I’ve already asked it!”
“I first learned to dive as a teenager with my dad. Now I’m lucky to do it as a second job as well as for fun, in the tropics and UK. I particularly love teaching autistic people and those with health challenges. And I’m totally obsessed with wreck diving and underwater litter picking!”
Love diving for over 30 years and love teaching – highly motivated for students to become excellent divers so that we can go diving together.
“I mainly help out in the pool taking people for try dives or teaching lessons with members. I sometimes go to Open Water training days to be a buddy and help you get ready for scuba!”
“I enjoy taking new divers for try dives and taking refresher classes to show the fun and relaxation of diving and blowing bubbles.”
Ian is always busy helping new trainees with their Ocean Diver course and new members refreshing their skills in the pool.
Having knowledge on a subject is great, being able to share that knowledge with someone else is even better.
My passion isn’t just for numbers, it’s for getting people in the water. That’s why I became an Assistant Instructor. I’ll never forget the feeling of my first open water dive—that mix of terror and pure magic! I absolutely love getting to be a part of that journey for new divers. It’s brilliant seeing someone go from being nervous about clearing their mask to confidently exploring a wreck. Helping people fall in love with diving and welcoming them into our club is genuinely the best feeling.
“Lets go diving…Take only photo’s, leave on bubbles!
Colin is always ready to help you with a pool session but has recently taken over our “Members Night” on the first Wednesday of every month, If you want a pool session with a difference, he’s your MAN!!”
My favourite part of being a BSAC Assistant Dive Instructor is introducing people to their first “try dive.” I live for the look of pure, unfiltered joy when a newcomer finally understands the magic of the underwater world. It’s more than a dive; it’s the start of an adventure. Many of our try-divers quickly realise they’ve found their passion, signing up to join our club and start their own underwater journey. We’re here at BSD to mentor you, support you, and celebrate your journey as you become a skilled and enthusiastic new diver.
