Learn To Dive

"A mate and I recently completed our Open Water Diving course with the team at the diving centre. Absolutely loved it from start to finish. A proper family run style business with great banter between the staff and students."

"We have just completed our drysuit course here. We all really enjoyed it. Paul gave us our initial training in the pool & it was great fun. He explained everything very well & we had plenty of time to practice & experiment in the drysuits."

"My husband and I did our Open Water PADI certifications at The Diving Centre recently. We had a fairly tight deadline before going on holiday — Callum quickly scheduled sessions in to make it work. Couldn't recommend them enough."

"We took our grandson Jack to complete a Discover Scuba course. Jack was put at ease on arrival by Buzz his instructor who was friendly from the off. Afterwards Jack said he loved it."

"My wife and I did our drysuit and advanced certifications with the Dive Centre after relocating from the States to Newcastle. Our instructor Paul Paterson was splendid. He patiently helped us get accustomed to drysuits."

"My husband, 15yo daughter and I just completed our PADI Open Water certification with this dive centre and we couldn't recommend it enough. Everyone is so helpful, knowledgeable and patient. Our instructor Paul was absolutely amazing."

"This is the best place to learn to dive. We did the Open Water diving course with drysuit specialty and the service, care and attention to detail was faultless. They went out of their way for my stepson learning English as a second language."

"I had an incredible experience completing my PADI Open Water Diver certification. The instructors were knowledgeable and incredibly patient, making the learning process enjoyable and stress-free. Safety was their top priority."

"Completed my Drysuit course at the weekend! Big thank you to Paul & Sharon for being great instructors. From the initial pool training session to the 2 dives at Ellerton Lake, I felt confident throughout."

"Just completed the PADI referral course at the Diving Centre. What an enjoyable experience. Julie in the office was super helpful booking me on the course. My instructor Andy was very patient and thorough."

"Just done my refresher course today with Andy. Absolutely brilliant instructor. Would definitely recommend to anyone."

"Did my Open Water course with Buzz at the Dive Centre. Having now dived with lots of organisations in various parts of the world, I now realise I received the very highest level of instruction from the Dive Centre."

"Done all my diving courses with the Dive Centre and couldn't praise them enough. My last course was my Rescue course which was a fantastic experience. Learnt a lot thanks to Jim, Tom & all the training team."

"Completed both Open Water and Advanced with Boldon Diving Centre. Brilliant instructors and all round good people, highly recommend."

"Fantastic instructors, friendly and welcoming bunch of people. Thoroughly enjoyed my Advanced Open Water."

"Did the Discover Scuba course here and they were brilliant — very welcoming with excellent teaching skills and great patience."

"Took my pre-teen grandchildren for a try dive. The practice pool was warm. Sharon made the session safe and fun. They were soon diving to the bottom like fish. The kids didn't stop talking about it for hours afterwards!"

"For my son's 11th birthday, he received a voucher for Discover Scuba Diving. From the moment we arrived, Julie and Andy were friendly and helpful. My son had an amazing time."
