2010 training dates with Rich Stevenson at Deep Blue Diving and Marine Services

We try to start all our training courses in Fresh Water quarries and to find out why please click on the 'why train with us' page in this section of the website.

Having said this we also appreciate that some divers prefer to train in an entire Salt water environment, and as we are based on the South Devon Coast we are in a perfect position to implement this, and in addition we have exclusive use of a 15m deep fresh water quarry just in case.

As we have a Commercial Diving operation it is possible to run training courses completely self sufficient anywhere within the UK or Europe, so if this style of operation suits your needs then please feel free to get in touch with us to discuss.

Rich runs all the training courses personally and if there are 3 students on a course then he is assisted by Mike Potts who is a certified IANTD Rebreather and Trimix Instructor.

Please note that the prefered and most usual number of Students we take on any course is 2 and is limited to 3 for Cave Training. By keeping our course numbers low we can keep the quality of training high meaning you get more from your course.

2008 and 2009 were our busiest and most enjoyable years so far, so thanks to everyone who made it so successful for us and we hope that you enjoyed your training with us.

Another service that we are now offering is 1:1 training at your timescale and pace. Whilst more expensive I have found that students progress better within the normal training time scale and for those of you with busy schedules there are no cancellation fees should you not be able to make a particular day.
