Already qualified with PADI or another agency? Great! Join us!
It’s easy for qualified divers to dive with iDive. It doesn’t matter who you trained with, if you’ve never dived in the UK before or if you haven’t dived for a while – our doors are open to all!
Joining iDive could be a great way to maintain and develop your scuba skills. We have a great programme of diving trips, holidays and social events for you to get involved with and we meet every week in Ipswich.
If you have a recognised qualification you do not have to do any cross-over or further training (unless you want to!). It doesn’t matter who you trained with (recreational, commercial or military), if you’ve never dived in the UK before or if you haven’t dived for a few seasons – all are very welcome to join us!
If you did wish to progress your training to gain additional diving skills with us then we can offer many BSAC Skills Development Courses and diver qualifications – all recognised worldwide.
If you are interested in joining us, please send us a note to info@idive.org.uk from your phone or other device and we will respond.
