Here are some comments from our previous customers....

"Thanks to all involved for the Deep Speciality course this weekend (29th/29th Jan)!

Had a fantastic experience, although I was nervous and suffering from the 40 meter dive, Rob could see this and held my hand at 40m to secure me. After the task we swam to 23m with Rob still holding my hand (sounds quite romantic now) where I was more comfortable.

Learnt so much about Deep Diving and felt so save with Rob and his Dive Masters/Assistant Instructors. Can't wait for my next PADI Speciality course with Cardiff Scuba. Thanks again...Sophie"

From Sophie Morris - PADI Advanced Open Water, course taken January 2012

"Rob, a big thanks once again to you and your team for making this a great learning curve. As always with Rob, safety is paramount but fun is had at the same time. Anyone who has done their open water really should do this course as it is a big eye opener."

From Alan Nugent - PADI Advanced Open Water, course taken January 2012

"Definite eye opener, and a course certainly not to be under estimated!!!

The knowledge gained from this course will go a long way! The tuition was superb, and well worth the effort.

Big thanks to everyone involved - Really appreciated the support!"

From James Perkins - PADI Rescue Diver, course taken January 2012

"Very good course. Instructors shared their vast knowledge on everything and were always very helpful.

Everyone was very helpful and I believe many of the participants in the course are also now looking into attending many more future pool sessions and are also considering further courses through Cardiff Scuba.

Cannot recommend highly enough. If you want to learn to scuba dive, Cardiff Scuba is the place to go!"

From Ryan Purchase - PADI Open Water, course taken October 2011

"Ive just completed the EFR course and found it informative and helpful. This course was an eye opener, adjoined with the medical knowledge that the instructor had, it made learning not only easier but helped us understand better.

Are you thinking of doing this course? Cardiff Scuba is the only place to do it..
(Many thanks to Rob)."

From Gary Evans - EFR Emergency First Response, course taken November 2011

"Really impressed with the level of care from all of the instructors.

After being nervous about diving I had no worries whilst I was in the water, and really enjoyed myself!

Very likely to take the Advanced course, and will be recommending the course to friends!"

From Ailsa Stockwell - PADI Open Water, course taken October 2011

"I would like to thank Rob and all his team for their support and encouragment they've shown me and my dad throughout this course.
We are already missing the cold water of Chepstow and can't wait to go back!
Thank you all once again for this truely amazing experience :)"

From Sam Lewis & Bob Lewis - PADI Open Water, course taken November 2011

"Just completed my PADI open water, and had such an amazing time! Cant wait to go diving again!

The instructors were great, and thanks to them I can now go diving in Borneo!

Thank you!"

From Anna Luff - PADI Open Water, course taken November 2011

"I was very apprehensive and nervous about learning to scuba dive. I am not a strong swimmer and thought this would be beyond me. If this is you don't worry.

Everyone is so helpful and supportive, and took me through each step with patience.

I am really grateful to Rob and his team for everything and opening up this wonderful new world to me. Excellent stuff so just go for it!!.

Kind regards, Lyn Brookner."

From Lyn Brookner - PADI Open Water, course taken November 2011

"If you are looking for a course provider to learn how to scuba dive, either for a hobby or a holiday activity then look no further, you have found it.

Thorough and appropriate emphasis on safety and pace was geared to ability and confidence, meaning those who were nervous were well looked after, giving them the right level of one to one tuition to help them overcome nerves.

Loads of great staff on hand, excellent facilities and equipment, most importantly I enjoyed every minute.

(Rob what an excellent instructor you are. You have my deepest admiration. Thank you).

Matt Brookner."

From Matt Brookner - PADI Open Water, course taken November 2011

"Truly a quality experience and recommend anyone thinking of training to do it with Cardiff Scuba. The staff were excellent and the tuition was superb.
Thank you to everyone that helped me obtain my OW and I'm sure It'll be put to good use...
Bring on the crystal clear waters, diverse marine life and fun times in the drink :)
Keep it deep!!!"

From Zak Turner - PADI Open Water, course taken November 2011

"Hello everyone

I first enrolled onto a divemaster course for at the time I thought for one particular reason - my daughter CHLOE - who most of you know started diving at 12 years of age.

I wanted to have the experience and confidence to know myself that if an unlikely incident or problems happened then I would be able to deal with them safely and yes I was right. There are also other uncountable reasons why you would become a Divemaster.

The Divemaster course is something you cannot take lightly and the experience you gain as you train as a trainee divemaster, as you assist on school dives and being involved with the teaching side of diving shows you what is really required of you as a Divemaster.By doing other Specialty courses, this also helps your confidence and experience and believe me I have done a few.

The Divemaster qualification in itself is very rewarding, and, when you hear those words, 'Congratulations Mr Seabourne - welcome to PADI as a Divemaster - believe me you then realise why you have been training for this day and why.

Where else in the world, can you get the chance to get up EARLY Saturday and Sunday and JUMP into a QUARRY of COLD water with all your gear on. Well I think personally that this is what makes us different to the rest.

I would like to thank ROB, IAN, MARK and the other support staff at Cardiff Scuba for all their help. Also the A.I.'S, Rescue divers , Advanced open water divers , and Open water divers who I have been privileged to dive with.

My BIGGEST THANK YOU goes to ROB because without his belief in me and his determination and patience - WHO Knows what would have happened!! You know where I am coming from Rob.

I would also like to mention that anyone thinking of enrolling onto a Divemaster Course with Cardiff Scuba - go for it!!! l tell you now that its not going to be easy at times hard, but it is fun and most of all VERY REWARDING because ROB believes in not just developing and supporting Divemasters but CREATING THE BEST Divemasters and believe me there is a HUGE difference.

I thank you again Rob and look forward to diving with you and team soon.
Best regards to you and the future of Cardiff Scuba.

Dai Seabourne D.M.

From Helen And Paul - PADI Open Water, course taken October 2011

"Thanks to Rob and his team of instructors for a really great Advanced Open Water Course.
Its taught me that men really can't multitask - especially with a depth gauge, compass and buoyancy to consider!

Onto EAN, then the holiday abroad! Thanks!"

From Tony - PADI Advanced Open Water, course taken October 2011

"A few years ago I would have never thought about diving. After this course I would love to take it further. Had a fabulous time and would highly recommend this course :)

Thanks everyone, especially Rob"

From Lauren Anzani - PADI Open Water, course taken September 2011

Cant wait to go on and do more :)

From Tim Clarke - PADI Advanced Open Water, course taken September 2011

"What can I say about this course...What a great time! I can't believe how much we covered in a short space of time but things were so well structured that it all seemed to flow flawlessly.

A brilliant line up of instructors led by Rob. Genuinely good people with plenty of experience (and patience)!!! Everyone made us feel welcome from instructors, to helpers and fellow course goers alike. I've met some great people who I will undoubtedly see again.

Where next? I feel Advanced Open Water calling....

Many thanks again Rob. Had a great time and I'm sure we'll meet again soon.

"Thanks Rob and the team (especially Julia) for helping me through the course. It was fun and really enjoyable. I'm already looking forward to the next course. Gobeithio bydd y dwr yn dwymach!"

From Ceri Chick - PADI Open Water, course taken September 2011

"We have both just passed our PADI Open Water course. Both Rob and John were fab, and we had some great laughs along the way.

We met some great people on the course and went from total novices to divers in less than 3 weeks.

The course was intense, hard work but totally worth it and we can't wait to continue our dive education further with the Cardiff Scuba team.

Big thanks to Rob, who supported Ant to get back in the water after he lost his confidence after dive 2!!!

Still thinking about the trip to the Red Sea in Feb!

Gladys and Nancy (AKA Karl and Ant)

Thanks to "

From Karl And Ant - PADI Open Water, course taken August 2011

"Having just completed the Open Water course, I owe all the team at Cardiff Scuba a massive thank you for their patience and enthusiasm.

The course was well organised and although safety was paramount at all times; there was still a fun, exciting vibe to the weekend.

I would highly recommend training with this company and will be back soon :)"

From Sara Evans - PADI Open Water, course taken August 2011

"We have just recently completed the Open Water course.

What an experience!! We both were complete novices when we started but have finished the course feeling confident enough to dive anywhere in the world.

The team were fantastic!! We both had an amazing time and are looking forward to progressing onto the Advanced Open Water course. See you all soon. Chris and Emma

From Chris And Emma - PADI Open Water, course taken August 2011

"I had a blast. I was disoriented in the water and Rob & John and all the others made it easy for me. By the last dive I was confident - thank god i did it at Cardiff Suba.

I also met some cool people - the chartered accountant , the nearly-newly weds, the animal keeper, the web programmer, and the future riot policeman - this shows how vibrant scuba diving is - cool......... "

From Leon Baby Antony - PADI Open Water, course taken August 2011

"Having just completed the course I'd have to say it's essential for anyone who's just done their open water.

Although I'm still pretty awful, it's given me the confidence I needed to go and dive elsewhere. Rob, Mark and all the Divemasters have been fantastic all the way through.

Don't do the courses abroad or anywhere else, because you'll make father Christmas very angry! Cheers guys, want to do my specialties now!"

From Ben Richards - PADI Advanced Open Water, course taken August 2011

"Had a great time! Definitely recommend it as a confidence booster if you haven't long done your open water!

Thanks!

"

From James Perkins - PADI Advanced Open Water, course taken June 2011

"Having successfully completed the PADI Advanced Open Water, I would like to say a huge thank you to Rob, Mark and the entire team.

It was a fantastic course which was incredibly enjoyable whilst demanding and challenging.

I learned so much this weekend which hopefully I can now build upon to become a better diver. Highly recommended!"

From Owen Lloyd - PADI Advanced Open Water, course taken August 2011

"I havve just finished the Advanced Openwater Course and had such a great weekend at NDAC Chepstow.

The course was challenging at times but I feel I have gained so much from it, improving skills and confidence as a diver. The emphasis being safety but fun at the same time.

A big thank you to Rob and Mark plus all the other staff who came along to support. There were as many staff as students which shows the level of training you get with this scghool.

I am now looking forward to diving abroad but also continuing my training ....... with Cardiff Scuba!

From Stephen Martin - PADI Advanced Open Water, course taken August 2011

I had a great time and enjoyed every minute of it.

Sunday was glorious diving in the sunshine. Fantastic."

From Dylan Lawley - PADI Advanced Open Water, course taken August 2011

"A massive thank you to all at Cardiff Scuba, we had a great time learning the skills required to dive in open water. It will open up a whole new world of fun, thanks especially to Ian and Axelle who both had saint like patience to get us through with a pass, we were at the open water site in Chepstow and it was fab. I'd recommend it to everyone."

From Dave Mellen - PADI Open Water, course taken July 2011

"Recently completed the EFR and Rescue Diver course. Many thanks to Rob, Mark and all the team of instructors. It was an excellent course that was both challenging and rewarding. It has raised my confidence as a diver as I learnt so much in a packed but enjoyable course. I can recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their diving skills. In addition to the course Cardiff Scuba are always willing to offer helpful and objective advice about any aspect of diving. Once again many thanks. Martin Donovan. "
