Here are some of the comments that we've received from students who have attended our courses:

'The supervision gave me a lot of confidence and allowed me to focus on the tasks in hand, and I felt the many shallow lockouts helped me to become familiar with bell procedures.  I found the course to be professionally run with respect to personnel and equipment.'

Hamilton Shamley - Mixed Gas Course 205, Sept 2009

‘The course was professionally operated; the dives were useful and relevant.’

Kasper Mathieson - NDT Course, May 2010

Anonymous - CAD Course 329

'Just to let you know that the entire staff were very good during my stay and I will definitely pass this message to all my Indian and other diving friends to do their respective courses only at The Underwater Centre, Fort William.

The food quality during my course was really good, especially the chicken curry - just like Indian chicken curry - and credit goes to all the catering staff.

So once again, thank you very much to all the staff at The Underwater Centre.'

Rajendra Singh - Mixed Gas Course 201, Apr 2009

'The only thing I have to say about the mixed gas course - it was excellent, and as for staff they were spot on. Dave the ALST - Top Lad!! Also I would like to compliment you on your accommodation as it was lovely, as were the house staff in general, you could not fault any thing. I would like to also mention the restaurant staff, I had no complaints - good food, thanks! I would recommend your school to anyone. Also I would like to comment on all the pupils on the course with me, they were all TOP lads too!!'

Stephen Eves - Mixed Gas Course 18, Apr 2008
