My shooting tank needed a retest. At 30 years old it was touch and go. Unfortunately it failed and I expected to be just collecting my valve gear and paying for a test for a tank I no longer had. Such things are part of the risk of owning PCP guns and tanks.

To my utter amazement when they rang me to give the bad news they asked if I would like a used replacement for the price of the test of the failed test.

And when I arrived (they are 30 off miles from me) there was a replacement tank with my valve gear on and filled to boot - and at exactly the price they quoted.

What superb service and what a happy day it was when I found them. Thank you so much.

Went in today after a recommendation from The Aldershot Dolphins (Did a Try Dive with them) and Sue was a brilliant help in explaining what everything did, what to look out for, and giving general advice with any questions I or my father had. Will definitely be back after my BSAC course

Super helpful staff.
Just popped in for a quick cylinder fill for my 3lt bottle today.
Airgunner friendly, seemed to have a good stock of stuff too will certainly be back.
Thanx all !

I just made my first purchase from Divecrew and I needed a LOT of help choosing the right equipment.

Fortunately for me, the team at Divecrew (and special shout out to Shani) really know their stuff and bent over backwards to ensure I got just the right gear. After an initial phone call, Shani went off and actually researched the best options and sent me an email with each of her recommendations and why. Outstanding.

This was way beyond what I expected and I am extremely grateful to Divecrew for their exemplary, first class customer service.

I have no hesitation in recommending and the next time I need some new dive gear, I know where I'll be going!

From the day that I rang Divecrew and spoke to Sue, to yesterday where I officially passed my PADI Open Water and SSI Dry Suit courses has been phenomenal!

I have visited the centre a few times now and they have an amazing team working there, im always welcomed, always asked if I would like a cuppa tea or coffee. Always listened too and assisted in the best way possible, its a breath of fresh air to actually get decent people advising on the best gear to use that suits your needs and isn't the latest and greatest most expensive thing! Anything they might not have in stock will soon be ordered for you straight away, and even then you don't have to purchase it there and then.

PADI Open Water training - This was run by Sean. WOW what a great instructor and always happy to provide tips, tricks and any advice inbetween to make you a better diver! I was super pleased and had a great laugh during training.

Weekend Qualifying Dives - For the 2 days (Saturday & Sunday) qualifying we dived at Wraysbury and Vobster. First of all the the dive sites were great so glad Vobster was last because the water visibility was 10M+ and I saw so much more there. Secondly the team, this was a hard hitting power duo cute-y by the name of James & Rowan! These guys were amazing! Super funny, always cracking jokes, learnt loads from these guys and their years of experience, from staying warmer in dry suits, preventing leakages, NEW hand signals, recommending hot chocolates, and most of all how to dive dive dive! Because of these two alone im already wanting to book other courses and learn more from them! I really enjoyed absorbing these guys' knowledge and everything they had to offer!

THANK YOU SO MUCH DIVECREW!! I will be back to do more and look forward to diving with your crew in the future, I feel part of the Divecrew family now that you guys have spent years growing 🙂 thank you!

Just returning from a weekend diving with the seals at Lundy island with a team from Divecrew - great fun, well organised and safe diving environment. Even saw dolphins on the way back.

So I learned to scuba dive at Divecrew many years ago and I have been an instructor with the dive centre for many years. Divecrew is unique, certainly in respect of adaptive teaching for those with disabilities, which is my passion. No where else in the world will you find a dive centre that has invested so much to ensure that the vast majority of the instructional team ar trained in adaptive teaching.

The ethos at Divecrew is focussed firmly on enjoyment and performing to meet the standards set out by the diver training agencies. They achieve this and transfer the dive team's enthusiasm and enjoyment of diving to those new to scuba diving and those who wish to develop their diving. The Master Instructors are charged by the owners with maintaining the centre's high standards and reviewing how they can further develop and enhance the centre's scuba diving offerings.

In the dive centre you will always, should you require it, receive expert advice about dive courses, equipment, holiday venues, UK recreational diving in quarries and the sea and equipment servicing. Divecrew continually strives to deliver the best service possible. The staff are engaging, knowledgeable and make you feel welcome.

I am been on many Divecrew holidays over the years, they are well led and managed and most of all the Divecrew spirit comes through and everyone has a rewarding and enjoyable experience.

If you want to progress to professional status then there is no where better than Divecrew. Their Master Instructors are highly experienced across a range of diver training agencies. There is a mentoring scheme if you want to embark on the Divemaster programme, you get an assigned instructor. The MIs regularly assess the dive team in the classroom, in the pool and in open water to ensure clients receive the best possible experience and that the high standards set are maintained.

Exceptionally they run Master Class - both theory (classroom based) and practical (pool and open water) for trainee Divemasters right through to senior instructors. This learning far exceeds the information found in diver training agency manuals and courses.

The Divecrew team never stops learning and that the owners Sue and Martin invest so much time and effort into making Divecrew 'simply the best' is impressive.

So I teach for fun, it is my hobby, scuba diving is my passion BUT I am a free agent and I can teach wherever I want. My choice is to teach at Divecrew I maybe be an instructor but I am also a customer, I go on holidays, as a customer, with Divecrew -I buy all my kit with Divecrew - I do all my training in Divecrew.

Put simply you will NOT find a better dive centre in the UK than Divecrew - try it out, you won't regret it.

Two photos of special note Divecrew owner Martin with triple amputee Josh - the world's first triple amputee Rescue Diver and also in the pool Gary Green , who lost the sight in his right eye and suffered serious physical injuries helping a diver to achieve his dying wish - to dive again - this is what makes Divecrew SPECIAL

[Updated] My son is now 12 y/o, hence just booked him for PADI Advanced. And yet again - Divecrew is the safe pair of hands while learning crucial skills for deep waters.

Absolutely great experience for my 10 years old and myself doing the Open Water Diver course in Bracknell. Highly recommend. All questions answered in such a way, that we can actually understand and also remember! - Many Thanks to the whole team of Divecrew!
