"Absolutely awesome! I recently completed my Open Water Course with Shane and it was fantastic. He teaches you everything you need you need to know, while being big on safety, and making sure you have fun throughout the process. Great course, great instructor, great value for money – would highly recommend Scuba Shane Diving to anyone looking to get certified.

"Great equipment and very thorough instructions for the open water dive course i did. Also, as the groups are very small you get more input from the instructor. After going through the course, i really appreciate doing the open water course over 3 days as well. Would have been too much packed into 2 days for me. Also, a 3 day course with some repetition gives time for the instructions to sink in. Will be looking at doing some of the advanced courses with Scuba Shane in the future. "
Peter Greenhalgh
"I would like to say big thank you to Shane and his team for making the SDI Open Water Scuba Diver course fun as stress free as possible. Shane’s course is run over 3 days, I found when doing my research other companies offer it over the 2 days, I found the 3 days to be perfect balance of theory, practical and allow for fatigue. The course was run efficiently and safety was effectively managed. I would highly recommend this course and Shane’s Diving to others."
