Scuba Academy Ltd

Scuba Academy is a PADI 5 Star Dive Center based in London, United Kingdom, with a story that sets it apart: when the team couldn't find a pool that met their standards for comfort, safety, and instruction, they built one themselves. That purpose-designed training pool, with dedicated shallow and deep-water zones, gives divers of every age and experience level room to grow.

Courses and who it suits

Beginners can build confidence at their own pace, while more experienced divers have the depth to refine skills and prepare for open water. Training spans PADI Scuba Diving, PADI TecRec, and PADI First Aid – EFR, delivered by a team of 17 PADI instructors who keep groups small and standards high. The focus is on developing confident, capable divers rather than rushing anyone through certification.

Because the centre has full access to its own pool, it offers a wide range of training times — daytime, evenings, and weekends. On-site facilities include the training pool, a classroom, free Wi-Fi, and parking, with instruction in English.
