Southsea Scuba - Northumberland & Northeast
If you’re looking to get certified or simply broaden your skillset in the North East, Southsea Scuba is a solid option. They focus on Diamond courses, which are great for divers who appreciate a thorough, structured approach to their training. We've heard good things about their instructors' patience, especially with newer divers, making them a good pick if you're a bit nervous about those first open water dives. They know the local sites well, so you'll get a good introduction to what diving in the UK is all about – think shipwrecks and plenty of nudibranchs, often with that distinctive green hue of the North Sea.
