Hi , I'm Andy, I have been enjoying scuba diving for over 24 years, I initially began diving  with the British Sub Aqua Club, 3rd Class (BSAC) and also the Sub Aqua Association (SAA) Dive supervisor. I qualified as  a SAA club instructor , and played a active role in my local  dive club. After a number of years I decided to continued my dive education with PADI. I  progressed and  qualified as a PADI   professional instructor (OWSI) also as a PADI "Master Scuba Diver Trainer" (MSDT), a PADI Staff Instructor (IDCS).and a Tec Rec, trimix technical diving instructor. I have been a professional PADI member for over 20 Years. (blimmey!!)

I have been running Sea Urchins for just over 12 years. I have a strong passion for diving and have had the good opportunity  over the years to dive all over the world. I have dived in the Red Sea (Egypt), Tenerife, Malta, America, Singapore, Malaysia and Israel.

I have help from  Mark . We aim to keep our courses excellent value, and offer a quality service with no short cuts. We dont offer basement price courses but do offer high supervision, quality and a dedicated honest service.

We really would like all our divers to  join our club and come diving with us. Not all can of course, but the greater rewards for myself  are going diving with new friends and sharing the fantastic experiences as a group.
