UK diving for girls is a bit of a new thing
More than 10 years ago there were, compared with now, very few women in UK diving – it simply wasn’t marketed or seen as the thing to do.

So don’t be afraid, come dive with us in the UK.

Why is it that we do not put the same effort into technology that would really make a difference to diver safety?
