I have just completed a rescue diver course with Scuba School Studley and felt compelled to write a review to tell you how great the whole experience was.
Being a... read more 56 year old construction safety manager I find that all too often courses seem to be a tick the box and pay up exercise. But not here.
From the off it was explained that the course was not a given and would be earned.
The First response course was run by Brian Fanthom whos practical experience and knowledge was limitless making it by far the best 1st Aid course that I have done.
The knowledge review and exam was done by Kerry Timms who talked through and explained everything really well.
We did pool sessions and knowledge reviews with Brian who really helped us to get a grip on the exercises.
We then went to Capernwray dive center for two days.
Day one was continued exercises with Brian and Kerry who worked us very hard but explained everything along the way.
Day two…… All I can say is OMG! We had most of Scuba school involved all playing their part. With lifelike dummies fully in scuba gear hidden under the water, bystanders playing their part and actual paramedics turning up to play their part. The scenarios could not of been more realistic. It was very apparent that everybody was going way beyond the norm to make it a very special occasion.
I would like to personally thank Brian Fanthom Kerry Timms, Darren Ellis, Fiona Gray and all the other instructors, dive masters and interns for making this the best and most rewarding course that I have done so far.
Im not normally one for writing reviews but felt that in a world so full of negatives it might be good to give some positive feedback.
Because of this experience I am doing the dive master course.

  Can’t thank scuba school enough for the help, support and encouragement they have given my son and I. My son who has some learning challenges has been welcomed... read more into the club with full open arms. Every step of his way there has been someone there checking in, helping, explaining and happy to spend as much time that my son needs to understand. They definitely DO go above and beyond and with their continued support I have no doubt that Jamie will fulfil his dreams!!!

Highly recommend- let the adventures begin!!!

  You're in safe competent hands for a whole lotta fun and adventure! Support group from the club is excellent with plenty of trips to enjoy.

  The team at Scuba school were very friendly and welcoming they even made me a lovely cup of tea while we chatted before my session had even started, they really... read more made me feel part of the family.
My instructor Darren made me feel relaxed in the water so I felt safe to do the underwater skills such as flooding my mask when I had started off a little nervous about doing them, experiencing the world of diving with these guys it's easy to see why they are a 5 star rated PADI centre.

  Having seen the scuba school pop up on face boob I thought I pop along and see them after viewing their web site.
On first arrival in the shop... read more my wife and were greeted by a lovely bald headed man called Darren he was the Gaffa then his lovely wife Fiona came out from round the back. We were offered a hot drink and we chatted about general stuff and also diving trips events etc.
Scuba school have a vast range of events taking place over the year from courses to social events to weekends away.
They also have a scuba club which is chargeable however the benefits you get is well worth the joining fee.
No only are Darren and Fiona friendly the whole team are so welcoming and have made us feel apart of the family from the off.
Looking forward to the adventures along the way.
Thanks guys
