"Undertook a sidemount course over the last week. Fantastic service from start to finish. I can honestly say this is probably been one of the best courses i have been a student on, i will be back."

"My son had his Bubblemaker session with Raff today and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great indepth instruction tailored to an 8 year olds level of understanding. Cameron can't wait to come back in the New Year to start the Seal program "

Jason was brilliant teaching me the Tec40 CCR Hollis Prism2 rebreather course.
He was patient and thorough - and made the serious training fun without undermining the challenge
