Surrey Divecrew - Cornwall & Devon

The team at Surrey Divecrew really shines when it comes to getting new divers into the water, particularly if you’re looking to start your PADI journey in the UK. We love how they combine solid instruction with a genuine passion for exploring the local wrecks and reefs around Cornwall and Devon. It’s a great choice for those based in the South East who want to learn closer to home and then dive with familiar faces on weekend trips. You’ll find them running courses from Open Water right through to professional levels, often using inland sites for initial training before heading to the coast. Our favourite trips are usually down to Plymouth, where the visibility, especially in late summer, can be surprisingly good. Imagine the chill of the initial plunge, followed by the slow reveal of a crab scuttling across a barnacle-encrusted hull, sunlight dappling through the kelp. They’re excellent at helping you gear up for the colder UK waters, so expect practical advice on drysuits and hood choices. If you’re a newer diver considering UK diving, Surrey Divecrew will get you comfortable and confident, ready for those proper coastal adventures.
