Tell us about the company and the staff
Sussex Scuba is run by Derek and Denise Lancaster who are both PADI Staff instructors. We are both very passionate about diving in general and we are particularly passionate when it comes to teaching people to dive, and teaching people to enjoy safe diving. Our philosophy is that we want to provide our students with a very high standard of teaching that will provide them with a high level of skill and confidence. Best of all we try hard to ensure they enjoy the course. All our class sizes are kept small with most Open Water courses split into groups of 4. Each group will have an instructor and a minimum of one assistant – We do not run the school as a “production line”. All of our staff are committed to our philosophy and everyone is prepared to go “the extra mile” to ensure a student’s success. We won’t give up on a student who is having problems.

Because of our approach to teaching children (away from adults with all lessons be broken down into smaller digestible chunks) we seem to teach many family groups. Denise also enjoys teaching kids Project Aware and is committed to trying to get as many children involved in learning about the ocean as possible. The school also tries to help with the environment and one of the things we do is to carry out a beach clean up every year for Project Aware.

Favourite Diving Spot in the World
Denise – my favourite place overseas has to be “muck diving” in Lembah straits. I will never forget dropping down into the water seeing a barren looking black bottom gradually revealing the most amazing creatures imaginable – many do not exist anywhere else in the world!!! What a sight and what a privilege. For the UK it has to Pembrokeshire. This area includes almost everything that can be seen on all the rest of the dive sites in the UK – wrecks, colourful reefs, extensive and varied fish life, and best of all playful seals.

Funniest Dive Moment
I suppose it has be when one of our dive master’s was forced to “relieve himself” whilst in a dry suit!!! That in itself was just unfortunate – the stupidity came when he confided in Derek!! Within seconds all the staff knew and he has never lived it down.

Favourite Dive Gear
Denise – my VT3 computer I love it.

Derek his metal sub torch, he won’t go without it on a UK dive.

In summary we are a very busy, dive school and club offering high quality training across the entire range of courses. As well as an excellent school and fully stocked dive shop, we also run an active and thriving dive club that arranges several UK and Overseas dive trips a year as well as monthly hard boat and RIB dives.
