Completed my re-activate qualification to give me the confidence to return to the water after a number of years out, and the staff have been amazing. Richard was paitent, understanding, and confidence building and Louise is an amazing support in helping me put a plan in place to progress my scuba career! Amazing lady. Thanks to all!

I recently completed my Junior Open Water and Dry Suit certifications with Diveworld. The whole team is brilliant. During the course I worked with Louise, Dave and Richard, with Paul and Chris supporting me 1:1 on some of my dives. Everybody at Diveworld is so nice and helped me so much with my learning, especially when I felt a bit nervous.

I loved diving at Capernwray, it was so much fun to see the fish and the wrecks. All the instructors were patient, reassuring and encouraging. They really helped me to overcome my nerves through clear, kind and supportive instruction. I felt safe at all times and was confident in my ability to perform every skill and dive. The Diveworld team are super friendly and kind - they love everything scuba and their passion shines through in everything that they do. I am so happy and proud to have completed my Junior Open Water with Diveworld and can't wait to do more dives really soon.

I have completed my PADI open water diver & dry suit speciality on the 10/10/2022 with Diveworld. I just wanted to share how much of a credit everyone who helped me get through my open water & dry suit course are towards PADI as an organisation. I have always wanted to become a certified scuba diver but had a lot of doubts and worries. There was definitely moments on the course where I doubted my abilities and let my fears overwhelm me. From the moment I walked into the dive shop to book onto the course Steven reassured all my worries & made me realise that this lifelong dream that I had always put off could be a reality & even now I still cannot believe I have gained my certification- it feels like a dream.

I can honestly say I don't think I could have achieved my certification if it wasn't for the extreme patience & support off the team - especially David & Richard who certfied me & Paul and Chris who assisted on the open water dives.

Everyone was so knowledgeable, friendly, patient & reassuring. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable that really took their time to explain things & get everyone on the course through safely. Louise is a total inspiration towards me as a female diver - she instantly made me feel comfortable & reassured me throughout the course on numerous occasions. Everyone has made me feel so welcome in the world of diving & has made me excited for my future as a scuba diver.

I recently completed my PADI Open Water Course with Diveworld, the training was excellent and the whole team worked incredibly hard to make sure we were safe and well prepared for future dives while also making it enjoyable. We had a great weekend at Capernwray and my instructor Richard was outstanding! A big thank you to him for his time and effort, and Anton and Lee too!
I'm already thinking about what courses to do next with Diveworld!

The PADI Open Water and Drysuit training programme that I have just completed with Diveworld in Sheffield was challenging, especially for me as a mature ++ senior citizen! But I did it and enjoyed it - hooray - and it has opened up a life-changing world of adventure.

Diveworld is good, very good.

I've recently completed my PADI Open Water course with Diveworld. From the moment I phoned Louise right through to leaving site on the final day, I've got nothing but praise for the team at Diveworld. Their instructors are exceptional, ensuring we enjoyed ourselves whilst learning. A big thank you to Richard (and Anton and Lee) for a fun weekend diving, and to Louise and the whole team for helping me out last minute! Looking forward to diving with you all in the future :)

I have just done my scuba reactivate with Diveworld and it was the most thorough review that I have ever done. They went beyond what was required by PADI and spared no time in offering advise and practicing rare but important emergency scenarios. They are a great team, from Steve and Louise to Chris who did my review. I intend to do my AOW with them and can’t recommend them enough

Having recently qualified earlier this year with Diveworld I was keen I made use of my new skills so booked onto this holiday in Egypt. It was nothing less than incredible. You have so much opportunity to dive, build confidence, gain experience and see amazing sights (giant sea turtles, octopuses, rays, moray eels).

We hired the main kit (BCDs, fins, regs) at resort. The set up for diving was really well thought out there, a great find by Lou & Steve.

On the holiday we took our diving further with the peak performance buoyancy and night diver specialties with Lou & Steve. I can honestly say I felt like a different diver by the end of the trip and was so sad that it ended.

I would recommend any new divers to get a holiday booked as in asap as it is so beneficial. Can't wait till next year's trip!!!!!

Brilliant trip to Marsa Shagra. We qualified earlier this year and immediately booked the group trip to Egypt with Diveworld. I would highly recommend this - it meant we got to get out into the proper "open water" but had the comfort of knowing that the trip was organised by an experienced team.

The location and diving was amazing, I can see why Lou and Steve go back again and again. Our confidence massively came on whilst we were over there and even completed some new specialities.

Thoroughly recommend!

Brilliant club, fantastic atmosphere, excellent safety standards, good fun for all, irrespective of age or ability and wow! what a superb holiday. Can't wait for the next one.
Also, come along to a club night it's well worth it.

Steve and Louise are just amazing. They were very professional, helpful, and organised whilst providing amazing customer service. Overall a very enjoyable experience. I would certainty recommend Diveworld as a dive centre.

Dive World are amazing. Louise and Steve are excellent instructors, you know you’re in safe hands with them. Their trips are fantastic. I just spent a week with them in Egypt at Marsha Shagra, I had so much fun and it was a fantastic experience. I would definitely recommend them

Diveworld- the only place to learn to dive! From our first dip in the water to getting certificated I cannot express how well we have been looked after. Everyone at Diveworld are concerned about one thing only, your enjoyment and your improvement. Every aspect of the training and beyond is exceptional, we have loved every minute. Thank you Diveworld for giving us the confidence and the skills to get out there and dive. Here’s to the next trip and even club night in the pool.

Diveworld are superb at what they do - I cannot recommend them highly enough on instruction and safety - I have thoroughly enjoyed qualifying as an open water diver (with drysuit!) with them.

Just finished our Open water course with dry suit with Diveworld, Richard to be specific and oh my god what a joy it was. Diveworld doesn't feel like a business, it feels like a family, a bunch of friends. We felt extremely looked after and cared for, as slow as we sometimes needed or right to the point when we understood stuff first try; never felt put down or put off, their teaching style is completely on point. One of the best weekends we have ever had in recent times and we look forward to many many more and advancing through our other specialties with Diveworld.

The club nights at Forge are a complete blast and they are so friendly and approachable.

To Louise, Steve, Richard, Shaun, Chris and Rus; thank you all so, so much <3 We'll be sure to send you postcards from every place we go because of you all.

I recently completed mermaid and freedive training with Laura Hudson - aka the inimitable Mermaid Twinkle. I cannot recommend the experience highly enough! I have never learned or laughed as much in a single weekend. Laura’s technical knowledge and teaching style makes everything seem achievable. I felt safe and supported throughout, and have come away excited to learn more! Absolutely inspirational.

I did my basic free diver course on Sunday with Laura Hudson and it was incredible! I really struggled with a couple of the things I needed to do but Laura was so supportive and patient and stayed after with me so I could try them again. It was hard work but a really fun day. Everyone from dive world were so welcoming and friendly.

I am so happy with my freediving instructor
Laura Hudson 517364 , she is so professional and made me feel really safe and that allows me to progress and I can not wait to pursue my passion for diving and gain more qualifications with her teaching .I highly recommend anyone Willing to try to get in touch with her and Dive world UK

I completed my open water course with Diveworld and it was a fantastic experience. Throughout the course I felt like I was in safe hands. I completed the open water dives with David Yates and he was absolutely brilliant at explaining everything clearly, providing reassurance and making me feel confident (despite the water being absolutely freezing!). I have since gone on to do 7 more dives in Cuba and loved every one; this is in no small part due to the knowledge and confidence I developed by completing my course with the fantastic instructors at Diveworld

Just back from an incredible week in Marsa Shagra, Egypt with the Diveworld team. It was out of this world. I will definitely be going back with them soon. Every certificate or trip I have taken with Diveworld has been a pleasure. Lou and Steve are just so good at what they do I cant recommend them highly enough. Thank you to all on the trip for making it so special.
