DM Scuba are a PADI Recreational Facility and a BSAC Training School based out of Bristol and Swindon, but can offer our unique personalised training anywhere, we hold regular weekly pool sessions in Bristol and can run ad-hoc sessions in Bath and Swindon. All of DM Scubas instructors have 1000’s of dives and years of experience between them and having dived all over the world we can offer you the best advice and guidance around. We're not a retail shop, we don't sell kit so you'll never get the hard sell with us on Scuba gear you don't want or need. Although if you need kit we can give you some great impartial advice and where to get it as well.
We just focus on what we're good at, teaching divers and servicing your gear!

We believe teaching children early is the future of our sport. It also gives them a knowledge and understanding of the underwater world and keeps them fit and healthy and out from the being stuck in front of a TV or computer screen!
DM Scuba has invested heavily in children's kit to the point where we can run two hours sessions for up to 26 children. All of our staff are DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked and with regular training for our staff on child protection issues we have always been pro-active in this area so much so that PADI have recognised our commitment to their children and youth programmes by awarding us their Approved Youth Training Centre status.

A few student testimonials
"I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of the DM Scuba staff and I'll definitely be progressing up through the ranks with their guidance and instruction."
Sean S - A DM Scuba Open Water Course student
"While my PADI Rescue Course dealt with serious issues and was very demanding, it was down to Pauls skills as an instructor that made it enjoyable. Nobody was rushed and everything was explained in detail."
Paul J - A DM Scuba Rescue Course student
"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the scuba diving last night! I really enjoyed it and in fact went to bed and woke up this morning thinking about it all. It was a fantastic experience, mostly due to your (endless!!) patience and clarity. A huge thank you for a great experience and I'm really hoping to continue with it in the future."
