Welcome to Scuba First Ltd ...the only way to learn to dive

Scuba Diving and Learning to Dive in Cheltenham and Gloucester

Scuba First are just 1 hour away from Cheltenham, but a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday living...

Why we’re different from other dive-centres:

You no longer need to endure stuffy classrooms, over-crowded pools & inflexible dive-centre schedules.

We have our own, purpose-built, 40 000 gallon, heated dive-pool and all facilities situated in the grounds of our highly-commended, 4-star B&B - accommodating upto 10 guests in unashamed luxury! We also have a spa/jacuzzi and massage therapy clinic just to make life even easier !!

All of that means we can:

• run dive-courses, residential or otherwise, 24hrs a day, 7 days a week

• ensure that we never have more than 2 students in the pool at any one time – ensuring that you get the very best of attention at ALL times

• enable you to qualify in as little as a single day if you want to !!

We are a first-class training facility choosing to excel at instruction and not kit-sales! As such, we have no expensive dive-shops to run so that means we can pass on cost savings to you whilst guaranteeing you the very best ‘learn to dive’ experience possible.


NO other UK dive centre can offer you the same flexibility and combination of high-quality facilities and personal attention.

Our approach & facilities take all of the hassle away from you and offer you the opportunity to learn how you want, when you want and at a price you can afford.

The owners of Scuba First Ltd (Chris & Nicky) have almost 20 years combined experience of dive instruction both in the UK and overseas. Our intention is to introduce a brand new world of adventure & travel to all of our students... we hope you come to love diving as much as we do!
