I booked my daughter in for a Discover Scuba session which she did today… and loved it. Staff were fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable and made it a highly enjoyable experience.
I carried out an open water PADI referral course here and can’t thank the team enough (especially Kieran). He was really patient and supportive when I struggled with a couple of the skills and helped me to become more confident in my capability as a new diver.
Fantastic support for my daughter, on her 1st ever scuba diving experience at the age of 12. Big thanks to Grace and Ali the instructors in the pool. Helpful from start to finish.
We visited on Thursday, planning to purchase a mask for my girlfriend who's starting scuba training. We got 20 steps into the shop before a member of staff began shouting at my girlfriend for having a closed coffee cup in her hand which immediately made us feel unwelcome. After putting the cup in the car, we went back in and had a look around and she eventually found a mask that fit her, though the mask on display wasn't the colour she wanted.
The colour mask she was interested in was on the wall, so I popped it out the case for her to try, but a second member interrupted us and told us that we needed to put it back immediately, as 'a customer might come in and want to buy that mask in the box'. Yes staff member, it was us, we wanted to buy that mask. Imagine walking into a clothing shop and only being able to try on one design of t-shirt and buy a different one based on how it looks on the wall...
This staff member then became condescending and started explaining as if were five, exactly the same information he had just heard us discussing, picking up a different mask she had already decided didn't fit right to try and convince her go buy it instead.
In summary, we were completely put off spending money at a store that treats their customers first as messy children, and then as idiots that have no idea about the simplest concepts in choosing dive gear, so walked out as soon as we got a chance.
Unfortunately Google doesn't let me give out a zero star review, so one star will have to do.

Absolutely brilliant diving club! If you are looking for a club that is beginner friendly or already know how to dive and want expand on your current skills, 100% recommend Aquasport international. Intended to just complete my beginners open water course, but have since gone on to complete more courses with Aquasport as I’ve really enjoyed the learning environment, the dive instructors have made me feel really safe in the water and it’s been great meeting lots of likeminded individuals and having a good laugh. Looking forward to doing my next course with Aquasport International!
Having initially passed my open water in November 2022 and completing a number of other certifications since i can say that the Aquasport Team are amazing. Since taking the sport up they have supported me every step of the way. On my 1st dive out in Tenerife the guide actually complimented my bouyancy etc and said the team who taught me had done an excellent job...... and i agree!
Since being certified i have taken part in a number of mid week diving session via the club which is a must to join if you want to get seriously into the sport.
Genuinely the team will do everything they can to get you to where you need to be and i wouldnt want to train and further develop with any other company.

Fantastic scuba session for my daughter and her friends. Well organised and completely safe. They all had a wonderful time and Grace one of the instructors was amazing. I would definitely recommend this scuba Centre. 😃👍
Massive thanks to Aqua sport for helping me and my brother pass our Advanced Open Diver course!, all of the team have been a pleasure getting to know. And helping us gain the skills and confidence to be great Divers😆
I would like to shout out Kieran our main Instructor from the start. Top man he really knows everything about Diving and is very patient for us newbies😂 Diving wouldn’t be half as fun, without having a laugh with good people along the way. I would definitely recommend if your thinking of taking it up.
