For a long time, having diabetes meant scuba diving was strictly off-limits. But times have changed — and that’s great news for thousands of people with diabetes who want to explore the underwater world.

One of the most common questions we hear at Abyss Scuba School is: “Do I need to be really fit to learn to dive?”
It’s an understandable concern — after all, you’re carrying equipment, swimming, and exploring a whole new environment. But here’s the truth: you don’t need to be an Olympian to enjoy the underwater world.

At Abyss Scuba School, we take safety seriously, whether it's under the waves or right here at our dive centre. One of the most important (and often overlooked) pieces of kit in any scuba hub is the air compressor. It fills our tanks with that precious clean air you rely on to explore the underwater world... but did you know it also requires strict fire safety measures?

At Abyss Scuba School, safety is our top priority. From detailed dive plans and buddy checks to HSE-compliant practices, regular equipment servicing, and highly trained staff, we take every step to protect our divers. Whether you're just starting out or progressing through advanced training, you can dive with confidence knowing you're in safe hands.

We all know that scuba diving is good exercise: the lifting and carrying, the resistance of water, and the struggle of getting into and out of our wetsuits!
