Phil Davies , youthful and forward thinking individual. I came to diving late, always preferring to swim underwater rather than just on the surface,to be honest I don't really like swimming, though the sensation of been in harmony with the water , re-engaging with where we first evolved from very soulful finding peace in diving where you can just enjoy and feel at ease, when it all clicks and you can forget about the world above for an hour or so. Pure bliss and refreshes the parts other sports can't reach 😜 I'm a fun loving , positive and creative thinker,likes things eclectic, loves to empower fellow like minded people to achieve, have fun and feel valued. My values with this club are to help create an enjoyable, safe, relaxing, sustainable, rewarding environment for all.
With all members feeling valued and that all feel they have a voice to help develop their goals in all aspects of the underwater world and to develop a rewarding club for all its members.
I am a networker and try to help to bring people together.

Growing up sailing & boating gave me many of the best memories I have to date, but I found my self wanting more. I wanted to be immersed instead of just on the surface. Diving had always been a dream of mine and I wanted to experience myself, the sport my dad had loved so much. I didn't realise how accessible this sport could be, untill I joined the club and became qualified through bsac as an ocean diver!
Diving is a fun sport to enjoy with fellow buddies and this club creates the perfect environment for exactly that. One of the my main aims is to help create a space where fellow divers feel a sense of community and where we can all achieve what we set out to.
Being one with the fish and in the water provides invaluable experiences and time away from the everyday problems with life. One of the best decisions i ever made was going for a try dive and starting this sport !

Testimonials
Booked in for a Try Dive with my daughter, and have to admit to being very nervous! Our instructor, Lee, was very friendly and made us feel quite at ease before getting started. He explained everything very well, and made us feel safe……he is very enthusiastic and clearly loves the sport! This helps a lot, as enthusiasm is quite infectious. Everyone there were very welcoming and encouraging. The dive was not as I had expected (don’t really know what I expected). It was great! I loved every minute of it, and can’t wait to get started with our training
Can highly recommend having a Try dive…..you’ll love it

Went for a try dive and absolutely loved it. We were made to feel really welcome and Lee our instructors enthusiasm for the sport is really infectious, he really helped make you feel at home. I was super anxious and I don't know why now, loves every second of it. Next step is to try and get certified.
I would recommend these to anyone that was thinking about trying it out.
Thank you for a great first experience, hopefully you'll be seeing much more of me
