Dive Wimbledon

Founded by Roger and Jane Hirst 23 years ago in response to a shortage of professional diving schools in the capital, Dive Wimbledon has grown into one of London's dedicated PADI training centres. In the decades since, its instructors and divemasters have taught over 10,000 divers — with a simple philosophy that diving should be fun, but always taught properly and thoroughly so good habits are built from the very first lesson.

Courses for every level

As a PADI 5 Star IDC centre with a team of 26 PADI instructors, Dive Wimbledon offers the full range of PADI courses. You can begin with the PADI Open Water Referral or Open Water Diver course, then progress through Advanced, Rescue and a variety of PADI Specialities, right up to the PADI Instructor course.

The centre suits everyone from complete beginners to aspiring professionals, backed by an onsite classroom, retail shop and parking. Services include air fills, equipment sales and scuba equipment rental, plus a dive club for those keen to keep diving together. Courses are taught in English.
