Here at SDL we specialise in diver training, our aim is simple, to produce confident yet safe scuba divers in West Sussex, Hampshire and Surrey.
At Sussex Diving & Leisure you can expect quality tuition in small well supported groups, we are a family run diver operation providing friendly PADI diving courses. Because we don't have the burden of an expensive "High Street" shop to support we are able to offer a very personal service to our customers and concentrate on the quality of our training rather than turnover of our shop. We use the Great Ballards School pool, Eartham, Nr Chichester for our training sessions making it convenient for those from Bognor, Chichester, Selsey, Emsworth and Midhurst areas. Most of our "Open Water" sessions take place using inland lakes in Surrey, Somerset and Wales, we do this so that your diving coures dosent get disrupted by the UK's unpredictable weather. In these times of Covid-19 we are even happy to offer private sessions for you and your partner or family if this best suits your learning style.

The PADI Seal Team is for young scuba divers who are looking for action-packed fun in a pool by completing exciting AquaMissions.

Anyone over the age of 8 can take this course and it is often used as a bridge to the Jr Open Water Course when the child is confident and comfortable enough to progress. There is also a "Master Seal" course consisting of a further 10 "Aquamissions" that can follow on from this course.
Parental approval is required.
