Our Dive School

One Dive Family Wherever You Are! Motor City Scuba and Snorkel

Even though our Facility Manager, Brittany, was across the pond on a non-diving trip, she still remembered one of the core values of SDI TDI UK :

ONE DIVE FAMILY

And what better way to keep that spirit alive than with a quick pit stop at Motor City Scuba!

What an absolutely amazing place!

From the warm welcome to the passion for diving, it’s fantastic to see the diving community connecting across borders and sharing that same love for what we do.

If you’re ever thinking about exploring the Great Lakes and experiencing some of the incredible diving they have to offer, make sure you give Motor City Scuba a shout!

Because no matter where in the world we are, divers are family.

One Dive Family. One incredible community.

Another Sidemount Diver certified!

A huge congratulations to Mariusz, who today completed his SDI Sidemount Diver course with us!

Over the course, Mariusz worked hard to refine his buoyancy, trim and streamlining, getting his sidemount configuration dialled in and learning to move through the water with greater control and efficiency.

The result? A much more streamlined, balanced and confident sidemount diver.

Well done Mariusz great work and congratulations on your certification!

Huge congratulations to Kiah on absolutely smashing her TDI CCR Helitrox Diver course!

Over five days of dedicated training, Kiah put in the work to refine every aspect of her diving. From mastering precise buoyancy and trim to developing solid dive planning, emergency procedures, and confidence on her closed circuit rebreather, she took her time, trusted the process, and came out the other side as a more capable and confident CCR diver.

Kiah embraced every challenge, stayed focused throughout, and the results speak for themselves. She’s absolutely loving her CCR and there’s no looking back now!

Congratulations again, Kiah, it’s been a pleasure watching your progression, and we can’t wait to see where your CCR journey takes you next.

Perfect conditions to kick off our latest CCR course!

Yesterday our students focused on mastering buoyancy and building the essential skills that form the foundation of safe and confident closed-circuit rebreather diving.

A great start to the course, with plenty more learning and underwater adventures to come!

Congratulations to our instructor, Craig, who successfully completed his SDI Sidemount Diver Specialty course yesterday!

Even as an experienced diver and instructor, continuing education is an important part of staying current and expanding skills. During the SDI Sidemount course, he refined his sidemount equipment configuration, improved trim and buoyancy, practised efficient gas management, and developed the techniques and problem-solving skills needed to dive safely and confidently in a sidemount setup.

Congratulations to our two newest SDI solo divers!

A huge well done to both students on successfully completing their SDI Solo diver speciality. This course demonstrates a diver's ability to plan and execute dives with a high level of self-reliance, sound judgement, and confidence.

It's important to understand that the SDI Solo course is not all about encouraging divers to dive alone. Instead, it is designed to develop self-sufficiency and personal responsibility, skills that make every diver a safer and a more capable buddy, even when diving as part of a team.

Throughout the course, students learned advanced dive planning, personal limitations, accident prevention, navigation, emergency management, and the use of redundant equipment. They also explored when solo diving is and isn't appropriate, the mindset required for self-reliant diving, and the benefits and hazards associated with diving independently. These skills are invaluable whether diving solo where appropriate or simply becoming a stronger, more dependable dive buddy.

Congratulations again to both of you an excellent achievement and another step forward in your diving journey

Congratulations to Pawel and Stuart on successfully completing their TDI Advanced Nitrox & Decompression Procedures course today!

We were treated to some amazing conditions, giving us the perfect opportunity to fine-tune their equipment configuration, improve streamlining, and put into practice key technical diving skills including buoyancy, trim, gas management, stage cylinder handling and conducting planned decompression dives with confidence.

Fantastic effort from both of you throughout the course. It's been great to see your skills and confidence develop over the last few days. A well earned certification and another big step forward in your technical diving journey!

This wasn’t just about ticking off iconic dives it was about sharpening skills where it matters most.
