PADI Open Water Diver or above and be 15 years or older.  There are no minimum dives.

Inland Dive Site Training

Inland Dive Site Training

The UK offers some excellent coastal diving.  From stunning wrecks on the South Coast to quality diving out of Cornwall, Scilly Islands and the Bristol Channel...there is something to please everyone.  Oxygene Cranleigh has a full 2010 schedule planned.  Please browse our UK dive dates under the tabs to the left if you are interested.

Unfortunately the UK summer weather is not the most predictable and for this reason our Open Water training along the coast often ends up cancelled or postponed.  There is another alternative though....inland dive sites.  These are usually lakes or abandoned gravel pits that have been converted into diver training locations.  The closest one to Oxygene Surrey is Wraysbury Lake.  Along the M25, towards Heathrow Airport it offers a protected and shallow location for training be it the 4 Open Water dives required for the PADI Open Water Certification or Advanced Open Water Dives, Drysuit Speciality Dives, Rescue Course dives and more.  The facilities include a licensed cafe, change rooms, carpark and a tank filling room.

Vobster Quay is around 2 hours drive from the dive centre towards Somerset.  This location is a disused quarry and has a maximum depth of 30m.  With excellent facitilites including changing rooms, cafe, shop, car parks it offers an interesting alternative to Wraysbury Lake.  With the increased depth it is possible to complete the Deep dive for the PADI Advanced course, Deep dives for the PADI Deep Speciality, PADI Drysuit Specialty training dives and more.

Our Wraysbury/Vobster weekends are designed for students to finish off courses here in the UK.  The prices include training, gas fills, equipment rental and certifications.

Joe

Joe Dallison - PADI Instructor 181198 

  Joe grew up in Western Australia by the beach and spent as much time as possible in the sea snorkelling and swimming. Completing his Open Water course at the age of 16 he made his way through the ranks eventually attaining the Instructor rating a few years later.  In 2001 he took off to backpack around South America.  A year later he found himself in the Galapagos Islands doing some of the diving of his life!  Being in the right place at the right time he met not only his partner, Karin, but also ended up teaching diving in these Emerald Isles.  What followed was a number of years teaching diving in the Red Sea, the Caribbean and the Maldives.  2 years dive guiding on board the award winning Tornado Marine Fleet boat, the Hurricane, did his career no end of good. He has branched out into many different fields of diving including photography, videography, rebreather diving and trimix. After 10 years on the move a change in scenery was needed.  The challenge of owning and running a UK dive centre was too much to resist.  Managing Oxygene Cranleigh since the end of 2008 he has been instrumental in turning the school into Surreys Premier scuba training facility.  Already interested in equipment maintenance he has qualified with all of the major manufacturers to service their regulators, BCDs and other equipment.  He now runs the Oxygene Cranleigh Manufacturer Authorised Service Centre, servicing around 300 regulators a year.

 

"I enjoy every time I drop into the sea no matter where it is. Over the past 2 years I have done a lot of diving here in the UK including Lundy Island, The Scillies, Normandy and more and have really enjoyed it. I never get sick of seeing the enjoyment on peoples faces when they learn to dive or see something underwater they havent seen before. This keeps me doing this. Actually there is nothing else I can see myself doing!"

 

 

Karin

 Karin von Arx - PADI Instructor 942693

  Karin is Swiss by nationality and grew up in a small village near Bern.  Skiing and Snowboarding before she could walk, she discovered the underwater world on a trip to the great Barrier Reef in Australia where she completed her Open Water Course in 1995.  Diving in Swiss mountain lakes never appealed to her so each time she went on holiday to tropical climes she completed her next PADI qualification.  On Lake Malawi In 2000 she qualified as a PADI Divemaster during her travels through Africa. Shortly afterwards she found herself in the Galapagos Islands teaching courses whilst gazing at Hammerhead Sharks in the blue.  This wasn't the only wild life to catch her eye.....traveling on with Joe to teach diving in some of the most exotic locations on the planet.  Managing dive centres in the Red Sea she was able to utilise her business savvy whilst showing up for work in bikini and flip-flops!  She rates diving amongst the atolls of the Maldives as some of the best on the planet. Relishing a challenge she is now one of the Directors of Oxygene Cranleigh.  A wild life lover she has jumped at the chance to dive with the Seals of Lundy Island. Taking photographs and rebreather diving are her passions.  

 

"The underwater world fascinates me.  After a few days/weeks of staying dry I'm already looking for an opportunity to jump back in!  I teach diving because I hope that every student can gain as much enjoyment out of diving as I do.  If I can be a part of someone gaining an appreciation of the wonderful marine life thats out there then I've done my job and I'm happy."

Sam

Sam Harrison - PADI Instructor 277555

  Sam is British and has had a varied career before discovering scuba diving.  After traveling and working in various fields including chalet hosting, teaching sailing and more, she found herself in Aruba in the Caribbean. She thought to herself. "Why not give scuba diving a spin?"  She fell in love with it immediately and worked her way up to Divemaster level. Needing a change she got herself a drysuit and In March 2010 she started a 7 month internship at a diving centre in Ireland. There she worked in the shop and in the school, gaining valuable experience in the dive industry.  The culmination was passing her PADI Instructor Examination on the 31st of Oct 2010.  She started working fulltime with Oxygene Cranleigh in December 2010.  Bringing with her a keen attitude and a strong desire to teach she is the perfect front person for our school. She loves diving warm water but her time diving around the Maharee Islands on the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland has given her a keen taste for cold water diving...shes looking forward to getting involved with the Oxygene Cranleigh Diving Society calender in 2011.   

 

"Im just happy being underwater whether its looking at wrecks, Parrotfish, Wrasse or Seals.  I love to teach.  The look on peoples faces the first time they start breathing underwater is priceless and the reason I do this!"

 

 

Steve

Steve Reid - PADI Instructor 634432

  Steve first dived in Jamaica in 1998 whilst on holiday, and was truly inspired to spend as much of his life breathing underwater and has since logged over 1000 dives. Associated with Oxygene Cranleigh he worked his way up through the ranks gaining valuable experience along the way. He certified as a PADI Pro in 2004 and has since taught over 500 divers both here in the UK, and abroad on a variety of PADI courses.  He enjoys taking people on their first ever dive even if it is just in the pool, but also has great job satisfaction bringing people up to PADI Divemaster or PADI Assistant Instructor level. He also enjoys teaching Emergency First Response Courses on a regular basis. When not teaching he likes to dive pretty much anywhere there is water really! Hes been lucky enough to dive in Barbados, St Lucia, The Red Sea, Cape Verde, Portugal, Thailand and plenty of wreck diving in UK waters. He enjoys taking photos underwater and has recently discovered the joys of twinset, decompression and trimix diving.  

 

"I love the smiles on new divers faces when they pass their Open Water Course. I also enjoy the satisfaction on the faces of divers as they qualify for further PADI courses.  It makes me very happy to see them happy and enjoying their diving."

The Egyptian Marine Parks are protected areas and places of magnificent beauty underwater.

Not far from the shores of Marsa Alam, Simply the Best closes with a dive at Elphinstone, a fine addition to your log book.  
Simply the Best is an advanced itinerary and normally divers are required to hold a PADI Advanced certification.

Lundy Island Dive and Accommodation Package 2012

Around England there is 5913 kilometres of coastline containing 8000 species of animals and plants. Of this coastline there exists only one protected area...Lundy Island Marine Nature Reserve.

Strong currents sweep around the island, bringing food to the many types of marine life thriving in its waters. Life to expect includes Kelp, Sea Fans, Sponges, Sea Urchins, Sea Slugs, Wrasse and hydroids to name but a few.
