Suggestions for UK instructors for MOD 2 courses please!

Mdemon · 11th April 2007, 21:50

GF has been badly let down by her (potential) instructor and needs a MOD 2 course asap.

Any suggestions for good instructors? Could be world-wide (she'll travel), but UK or Europe for preference.

Many thanks!

Peter Roberts - Blackpool Area Divers www.blackpoolareadivers.com is a very good instructor and instructor traineer

If you're anywhere near the South of England, then I would suggest Richie Stevenson at Deepbluediving at Mount Batten, Plymouth. Uses a hardboat, all dives in the sea on real wrecks, and a nice guy to boot!
His website is www. deepbluediving.co.uk.
(And no, I don't work for him)

Dive safe,

Gary

Al Wright is a possibility, Poole based so not too far for Helen.

Another vote for Rich Stevenson! Looking at his site he has space on a MOD2 course the end of April in France too!

And nope I don't work for him either!! I did my MOD1 with him. Sound guy and top class instructor.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Mr. Stevenson is apparently unavailable for the dates required, but thanks.

Other suggestions please?

Me.

Depending on the dates.

Dennis Vessey (Diver Den) or ANdy Mumford (AndyMumford) both on this forum.

Dennis is based in Lincolnshire but uses stoney / NDAC for training as does ANdy who is based in surrey.

I'm doing my mod2 with them at the moment.

Good luck,
Pete

I know personally that Dave Thompson (aka "dave t" on RBW) is an excellent instructor.

He usually teaches in UK and warm-er water locations.

Highly recommended!
