Great experience with an amazing instructor - We first came to blue water diving in May for snorkelling & we’re blown away with how comfortable we were made to feel. My 13 year old wanted to try scuba but it wasn’t for the rest of us but the assurance given in May gave us the confidence to come back in October for him to go on his own. Aileen was his instructor she took things at his pace was thorough & built his confidence in something new. Needless to say an open water course looks like the next step! Great experience with experienced friendly team

Super experience - The first dive was quite exciting but the staff and the instructor made me very comfortable. After some standard exercises in the shallow water we went 5 minutes by boat to the dive spot. Dived here for about 45 minutes. It was really fantastic, highly recommended! Good communication with the diving school and the instructors were very friendly and patient.

Amazing and felt so safe - This was an amazing experience, with professional instructors, and another diver by your side the whole time to keep you safe. You start by doing a 10 test on the PADI website, it's the discover training and you can do in advance. You then go into the harbour, one by one with the instructor to get taught basic skills, and do these kneeling on the habour floor, getting used to being under water. The you go on a boat to the dive site, with your diver by your side, descend, swim around and then come back to the surface. We went 8m deep for just over 30 mins. We saw loads of fish, a sea annomi and the terrain on the sea floor. Thank you, I had an amazing time

6 star beginners scuba dive experience - Amazing beginners scuba diving experience. The instructor was very friendly, funny and patient both at the centre, when providing demonstration instructions, and during the trial dive for us getting used to the gear, breathing with the regulator and standard troubleshooting and solving it (e.g. water in your mask, regulator came off, etc). During the dive there was an instructor with each beginner diver at all times, which provides a great sense of security (very good for the most nervous divers), and the main instructor guided us through the route and to see various kinds of fish, octupus and star fish. I was excited for this experience and it did not disappoint. Definitely recommended and look forward to doing it again!

Awesome dive for teens - My boys (age 14) and I were looking for a professional but chilled dive trip. This is exactly what we got. The staff are amazing, patient and fun. We had dived before and wanted a relaxed day out but with staff knew their stuff. These guys are great, thanks. T and D had a blast x

Professional instructors but practice dive was rushed - Myself and my daughter picked the Try Scuba Diving Course as complete beginners. My girlfriend opted for snorkelling. The course consists of three parts i) getting taught some basic instructions in the dive centre and getting kitted out with wetsuits and the SCUBA gear ii) doing a practice dive in the harbour across the road from the dive shop iii) going out on the boat to do the dive. We were given instructions before the dive in the office of the dive centre and got all our gear and kit fitted out there and put on which was all fine. We then went across the road to the harbour to practice the instructions which had been explained to us in the office. The practice consisted of putting our face in the water with mask on and breathing through the regulator followed by descending beneath the water to practice breathing there. I felt that this part of the process was a little rushed and I was not comfortable doing the practice dive in the harbour before going out in the boat to do the actual dive. I opted to do the snorkelling instead using all the scuba gear I had on as did my daughter. She held her breath going down on the practice dive as she did not know how to use the regulator. This was distressing for her and she did not want to go ahead with doing the dive because of this. I felt if we had a little more time in the harbour we all might have been able to do the dive as the instructors were professional and knowledgeable. The owner of the operation came back at the time we were leaving the office to do the practice dive in the harbour and berated the instructors for not having the practice dive already done with us and this may have resulted in the instructors spending less time than we needed in the harbour doing the practice dive in my opinion. After the practice session in the harbour we went out on the boat with to do the snorkelling. My girlfriend had never snorkelled before and did not know how to use the equipment as it was not explained to her so this was unsatisfactory for her as she had to go back in the boat. We got a total of 30 min snorkelling at a location very close to the dive shop - there were some fish but not a huge amount to see. On the plus side the instructors were very helpful and really nice to my own daughter and another young girl in the water who were both quite afraid at the start of the snorkelling. So overall a little disappointing as I did not do the dive but this was partly down to my own fear of going beneath the water which I was trying to get over, and a felt if we had more time in the harbour this might have been different. Also there was 30min snorkelling and no instruction on how to use the equipment to someone who had never snorkelled before so on this day for us it was not good value for money. To summarise, overall, the issue was not with the instructors but on this occasion I felt they were being rushed at a critical part of the process (the practice dive).

Disappointed!!! - Disappointed in the way we were treated. Me and my husband went for a discovery scuba diving, but weren't able to breath under water and took us longer than the others to get used to it. The instructor was in a rush, shouting at me at one point because I did a mistake. We didn't do the scuba diving anymore because we weren't ready and we felt stressed. What surprised me is the attitude of the lady that was running the discovery scuba diving (Hellen, or something like that) from the moment we said we are not ready to dive, because sometimes is better to know your limits,she madebus feel unconditional, didn’t speak to us, avoiding us on the boat and when we got back from the boat, looking like we made her loose time, although we still paid for it One of her students (from Leeds)was nice and even we didn't do the dive spent time with us on the boat and made us feel relaxed and like that wasn't the end of the world. What I can say is that I don't recommend them for first time doing the scuba diving.
