I've recently completed my Advanced Open Water training with them. Lisa and Richard and the whole crew are fantastic divers and teachers. Can't recommend them enough!
I decided on Dive South after receiving a recommendation to use them from a friend. I came to them after having only dived abroad in the past and they showed me that diving locally can be just as rewarding! I hadn't dived for over 3 years when I started the course, so we began with a Scuba refresher dive and fun dive in open water at Swanage pier. They were patient, explained everything brilliantly and made me feel at ease in UK waters. They were also very helpful and understanding about my specific needs with a spinal injury I sustained a couple of years ago.
I also agreed that it was a good idea to take an additional pool session to work on my buoyancy and trim. An invaluable addition to my training. Lisa did a fantastic job helping me to improve in this area and I felt so much more confident next time I was in open water again as a result.
My AOW dives consisted of Wreck and Drift boat dives from Portland, a Nav dive at Sandbanks, and DSMB and Deep dives at Vobster Quay. All were brilliant experiences, made all the better by their patient instructing and their determination that everyone who trains with them leaves a better diver than they started!
All appropriate additional health and safety measures due to Covid were put into place, but this didn't hinder the diving experiences in any way. If you, like me, had only dived in tropical waters before and are missing getting under the water during the pandemic, you'll be pleasantly surprised by what our waters have to offer (a much greater variety of life under there than I expected!). If you're new to diving, it's brilliant, exciting and rewarding, and unlike any other experience you'll have had. The team at Dive South are professional, highly trained and a whole lot of fun! They're the perfect people to give you these new experiences and improve your skills under the water! Give them a go! - via
