More than a just a shop.

Popped in to purchase a new pair of fins back in 2006 and not looked back since. Even given the challenges of 2020 this is where diveworld excel. Being able to offer one on one packages and hugely flexible course's allow you to make the most of precious time. You'll walk in a customer and leave a lifetime friend.

Amazing service

Amazing service, Steve and Louise are very welcoming and make you feel at home. Definitely the best dive centre I have been to. They are both very accommodating for my needs so I can do my qualification around my university studies. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get into diving or wanting to further their diving education.

Thank you Dive world for an amazing experience!

I have just completed my Open Water with dive world. And I can’t thank the team enough. The information, knowledge and experience the team as a collective offer to students priceless. Due to the preparation and standards that the guys held us to I never felt overwhelmed or out of my depth at all. Could not recommend Dive-world enough. Not only did I learn a lot and had a great time with great people so thank you guys can’t wait for our next adventure

A challenging and rewarding weekend with heaps of laughs

Came back from an absolutely wonderful weekend in Capernwray with Diveworld. We had a bespoke weekend obtaining our Deep Dive and Dry Suit Speciality courses, and progressed to advanced. The weekend was planned to a T. B&B was spot on. Steve was our instructor, better than 10 out of 10. The expertise is evident and he is so patient. Can’t wait to dive with them again, already eyeing up the trips they have on.

5☆ Experience on PADI Rescue Diver Course

I undertook the rescue course with Diveworld to become a more confident and proficient diver and to enable me to lend a helping hand to other divers when they are in need of assistance. The course definitely delivered and I cannot recommend Diveworld enough.

Our instructor, Steve, has years of diving experience and delivered the course content very well. Steve, along with his assistant instructor Chris, also provided great demonstrations of how to handle each scenario and could answer all of our questions.

All in all the light-hearted learning environment coupled with the extensive instructor knowledge and experience made for a very enjoyable and rewarding weekend of diver training. It's easy to see why Diveworld is a 5* dive centre and I will certainly continue my diver development with Diveworld.

My daughter loved every minute of the Seal Course she was attending. Everything is priced very reasonably, no problems to afford the follow up lessons. Every time she went, she had great experience and learned something new.

Top Club! Top Instructors! Top Diving!

Having learnt to dive in the warm waters of the Far East, I was intrigued to see what the UK had to offer. 4 years and a few hundred dives later Diveworld are responsible for an awesome journey from Drysuit Diver to Rescue to Divemaster and finally OWSI. You know when you learn 2 dive with Diveworld you’re going to come out of the end a quality diver with some quality memories.

The professionalism mixed with the teams energy is the best I’ve seen from a club or dive shop; and the courses, trips and diving holidays on offer are never ending. A personal favourite is the Plymouth wreck diving weekend, a must-not-miss if you like rusty lumps of metal full of history and life!!!

Keep up the great work Steve and Lou!!
