🎉🤿 Big congratulations to Darryl, Robin, Kyle & Sophia! 🤿🎉

All four have successfully completed their PADI Search & Recovery Specialty with Ross! 🔍🌊

Search & Recovery is a brilliant mix of fun, challenge and genuinely useful diving skills — and it also counts towards their Divemaster certification. Darryl’s already signed up… the others will too, they just don’t know it yet! 😏😂

But that’s not all — there were some BIG milestones on this course! 🏆

🤿 Darryl clocked up dive #50, ticking off the final requirement he needed to officially become a PADI Master Scuba Diver! 🥳👏

⭐ Sophia completed her 5th Specialty, meaning she’s now just a couple of dives away from qualifying as a Junior Master Scuba Diver! Not bad going at all! 💪🌊

Just a reminder that PADI are offering the Master Scuba Diver (and Jr!) Certification for free currently, so if you're a Rescue Diver with 5 Specialities and 50 dives, just give us a shout and we can get the paperwork filled out and get you a shiny new Cert!🙌🐠

Great weekend at Vobster Quay with our latest PADI Open Water Divers and PADI Junior Scuba Divers, who got to experience their first proper Open Water Dives! 🤿🌊

And a special mention has to go to Jorge and his rather… interesting briefing techniques 😂 Not sure everyone knew quite what to expect, but he certainly had everyone’s attention!

We’ll spare you the boring classroom photos… 😴📚 and jump straight to the fun stuff! 🤿💦

Claire has been putting in the work on her Instructor Development Course with Ian, taking things from the classroom to the pool and open water.

Here she is getting stuck into her CESA & Rescue Workshops — sharpening those skills and getting ready for the next big step! 💪🌊

And that next step is a BIG one… Claire is heading to her PADI Instructor Examination this weekend! 🎉🤿

All the hard work has led to this — go smash it, Claire! 💪👏🍀

Alice and Paula headed to Vobster on Sunday to complete their Deep 🌊 and Underwater Navigation 🧭 Adventure Dives, successfully ticking off the final dives for their PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certifications! 👏🥳

A fantastic achievement — well done to you both! 💪🤿 We hope you’re feeling proud of those shiny new qualifications and are looking forward to putting your new skills to good use on your next underwater adventures! 🌊🐠

🤿💦 Confined Water 3… DONE! ✅

Huge well done to Max & Amelia, who smashed another milestone in their PADI Jr Scuba Diver course on Saturday! 👏🎉

Their skills are coming together, confidence is growing, and now it’s time for the really exciting bit… Open Water! 🌊🤿

Next stop: Vobster on Sunday, where they’ll take everything they’ve learned so far and put it into action!

Awesome work, Max & Amelia — go smash those Open Water dives! 🙌💙

🤿🌊🐠

A massive well done to Chris, Oli and Wilf on successfully completing their PADI Open Water Referral Course with instructor Ross! 🌊👏

They’ve worked through their theory and confined-water skills, building the knowledge, confidence and techniques needed for the next stage of their diving adventure.

Now it’s time to take those skills into open water and get those qualifying dives completed! 🐠🌊

Sometimes the students are every bit as fashionable as the instructors! 😂

Jonah clearly got the memo this week, turning up in his matching tiger boardies 🐅🔥 — because apparently coordinating your kit is now part of the PADI syllabus!

And it wasn’t just the fashion game that was strong… 💪🌊 Jonah absolutely smashed Confined Water 3 of his PADI Open Water Diver Course! 🎉🤿

Looking good ✅
Diving well ✅
Tiger mode activated ✅ 🐯

Great work, Jonah — another big step closer to becoming a qualified Open Water Diver! 👏🌊

🌊🤿 Wednesday Evening Diving with Poole Divers! 🤿🌊

Another cracking Wednesday evening out on the water aboard Rebellion! ⚓

This week, Lily and Alice kicked off their PADI DSMB Certification, developing one of those essential skills every diver needs — safely deploying and managing a Delayed Surface Marker Buoy from underwater. 🎈👌

🎉 Congratulations to Luke & Will! 🤿🌊

A huge well done to Luke and Will, who completed their PADI Open Water Upgrade at Vobster this week! 🙌

Under the expert guidance of Steve and Jules, they took their diving skills into open water, putting everything they’ve learned into practice and earning that all-important qualification. 💪🐠
