Blue Ocean Diving

Tucked away in Maidstone, Kent, Blue Ocean Diving is a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre and PADI TecRec Centre where a team of 28 PADI Instructors covers the full spectrum of diving — from a first PADI Discover Scuba Diving try-dive (from USD 62, around 3 hours) all the way through to Master Tec Instructor. Twinset, SideMount and CCR training sit alongside the core recreational path, including the PADI Open Water Diver Course, Advanced Open Water, Scuba Diver and Open Water Referral.

Training close to home

With an onsite training pool and classroom, the centre suits complete beginners and career-track divers alike. Local sites include Dover Shakespeare Beach and St.Andrews Lake, and the schedule extends to UK dive trips and worldwide dive holidays.

Beyond courses, Blue Ocean Diving runs a well-stocked retail showroom with a full range of kit rental, plus regulator servicing and IDEST cylinder testing on-site. Air fills, Nitrox, equipment sales, a dive club and free Wi-Fi round out a genuine one-stop centre for divers of every level.
