Below the Surface: We have been running for over 36 years so has decades of experience , it was set up originally by Bill a military diver after he left the service & has been growing ever since, it is now run by both Bill & Sal with a great team to support us. We have a small centre in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire but our Tardis is probably the best stocked dive centre in the region. We are primarily a school so our opening times shown are when we really try to staff the centre but we can be open outside of those hours if we are around so its always good to give a us a call, if we can help and open up we will.
courses: This is one of the things we are most proud of, we only teach in small groups , for any pool sessions the maximum group you will be part of is four. This allows plenty of quality time with your instructor. On dive days Open water students will be one to one with either your instructor or one of our other professional staff, alongside your instructor. This takes all the stress out of those first open water dives, allowing you to not only complete your course but to enjoy the days diving too. On specialty courses numbers still limited to four to one instructor, with staff ratios generally being 2 to 1.
why choose Below the Surface? Are we the cheapest you can find ? We hope not, but we believe we offer the best value for quality training. Why? No hidden costs, some of the cheaper courses require you to purchase kit or pay for the open water days as an additional cost. We don’t like this, all costs are transparent, our courses include course theory (at trade prices), course certification, all required pool sessions, open water dive days (not including site entry, as the cost depends on your entry preference) We also give a free SSI snorkel course with all SSI open water courses as we feel this is a much nicer way to teach you the required snorkel skills for your course. Note: on the dive site you may be asked to fill a cylinder as part of your training or if you need extra fills. All kit is provided for entry level or specialist training such as side mount diving. If you haven’t yet bought kit and you are looking at other specialty courses, this can be arranged for you, just talk to us.
Dive Centre: Our web site shop is just a tiny selection of what available in store so please do head down and check us out, we offer on site air fill to 300 bar and kit servicing.
