I'm one of the team members at Diverstime, Spring Lakes. I've recently left the British Army after 24 years service in the Royal Engineers. For 21 of these years I was a Military Diver, carrying out a variety of Underwater Engineering tasks such as underwater concreting, buoyancy lifts, vehicle recovery, bridge pier construction, ultra thermic cutting equipment and hydraulic tools. I have done all of these tasks up to the Military diver's maximum operating depth of 50m on surface supplied equipment. My dive sites have been all over the world; Afghanistan, Iraq, the Falkland Islands, Scotland, Cyprus, Gibraltar and obviously my favourite nil viz location... Portsmouth Harbour, not for the faint hearted!
Along with my military diving qualifications I am also a BSAC Open Water Instructor and I look forward to meeting you when you visit us down at Spring Lakes.

my role is front of house looking after the customers when they arrive at the Diveshack. I take care of all the sales side and fill all our lovely customers dive cylinders when needed. I have recently just passed my OCEAN DIVER COURSE with DIVERSTIME. I never thought i would become a diver, I felt my life was changing and my career so i built up the courage and had a Trydive in a local pool and loved every minute. My next journey was to complete the course so i could understand my customers and go diving with them at ease, i feel that since i have started diving its given me a purpose to see more and experience all the best Oceans to explore. My career at diverstime is the best decision i have ever made and i cant wait for more underwater adventures

Hi, I’m an PADI instructor with a passion for the all things underwater and sharing it with others. I love helping people discover the underwater world—whether it's their first time or their hundredth. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me behind a camera, capturing the beauty of marine life through underwater photography and my YouTube channel.
See you guys by the water soon!!
A Dive School That Stays Connected
Many Diverstime students stay in touch long after their course has finished, sharing updates from their diving journeys and the places they go on to explore. That ongoing connection is a big part of what makes Diverstime different.
​
The aim is not simply to get people through a course. It is to help them feel confident enough to continue diving, keep learning and become part of a wider diving community.
