Welcome to SMG SCUBA

SCUBA TRAINING. TAILORED AROUND YOU.

25 years of experience. Personal instruction. Your diving journey.

Learning to scuba dive should be about more than completing a qualification. It should give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to become a safe, capable and enthusiastic diver.

At SMG Scuba, Simon Gray draws on 25 years of high-level PADI training experience to provide bespoke scuba instruction for individuals and small groups.

No two divers are the same — so your training shouldn’t be either.

Your experience. Your goals. Your pace.





A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO SCUBA TRAINING

Effective instruction starts with understanding the person in the water.

Some students take to scuba immediately, while others benefit from more time, explanation or practice. Bespoke training allows Simon to adapt each session to your ability, confidence and objectives, rather than placing everyone into the same timetable.

Whether you are learning with a friend, family member or on your own, smaller groups create a relaxed and focused environment where you can ask questions, develop skills and progress comfortably.

25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE — FOCUSED ON YOU

Simon has spent a quarter of a century teaching scuba and delivering PADI training from beginner through to advanced and professional levels.

That experience means more than knowing the syllabus. It means recognising when a skill needs another explanation, knowing when to progress and when to allow more practice, and helping students understand not only what to do, but why it matters.

Every session is delivered with patience, preparation and a strong commitment to safety.

YOUR COURSE. YOUR WAY.
