There are a lot of myths surrounding scuba diving that can discourage people from giving it a try. Let’s set the record straight:
1. “It’s Too Cold to Dive in the UK”
Not true! With the right gear, such as a drysuit, diving in UK waters can be just as enjoyable as diving in the tropics. Plus, the cooler waters are home to incredible marine life, from playful seals to colorful anemones.

2. “It’s Too Dangerous”
Scuba diving is a safe activity when done properly. Our PADI courses emphasize safety and ensure you’re well-prepared for every dive.
3. “I Need to Be an Expert Swimmer”
You don’t need to be a pro swimmer to scuba dive. Basic swimming skills are enough, as the majority of your movement underwater is aided by fins and controlled buoyancy.
