We do recommend that you do the following research to ensure you select the best London Diving School for you:

  • Check out the facilities, some dive centres use tiny pools thar aren’t really fit for purpose.
  • Read the reviews on Google from their customers
  • Compare prices and ensure things like equipment hire and the online learning is provided
  • See where they are located – you my save a bit on the course price, but end up spending more due to the travel required
  • See where they teach their open water dives, and check out how often they run them
  • What dive gear do they use and how old is it
  • Will they offer you support once you book?
  • Can you continue to learn with them after the course
  • Do they have an active dive club, travel options and socials so you can stay engaged with diving after your course
