Dive AcademyDive center

Darren Hector, a PADI Course Director, heads the team at Dive Academy, a PADI 5 Star IDC Center in Yeovil, England. Training covers every stage, from a first try dive to instructor courses, and includes technical diving through PADI TecRec, Emergency First Response and conservation programs.

The retail store works on a simple rule: if the team would not use a piece of kit, it does not sell it. The center also services equipment and is an approved cylinder test center. Students begin with a chat about goals or gear so the help fits them. Teaching is in English.
