Berkshire Divecrew Training 2012 Ltd. - Cornwall & Devon
The team at Berkshire Divecrew Training 2012 Ltd. are your go-to if you’re looking to get PADI certified in the UK, especially in the Cornwall and Devon areas. They’ve really got their finger on the pulse for new divers, focusing on getting you comfortable and competent in our often-chilly waters. We’d suggest them particularly for anyone taking their first plunge, or those looking to advance their PADI journey with a local, friendly crew. They’re brilliant at making the learning process feel relaxed and genuinely fun. We’ve seen firsthand how they tailor their approach, whether you’re nervous about that first open water dive or you’re pushing for an Advanced Open Water. Our favourite thing about them is their commitment to local diving. You’ll be heading out to some cracking Cornish and Devon sites, often with a view of dramatic cliffs above the surface before you even descend. Expect to spot plenty of crabs scuttling over the rocks, the occasional playful seal, and the deep greens of kelp forests swaying with the surge. It’s proper UK diving, complete with the invigorating chill and the unique coastal light filtering through the water. Just remember to pack a good drysuit or a thick 7mm, even in summer, and be prepared for currents if you’re heading out further from shore.
