Divecrew was awarded the PADI 20 Years’ Membership Award in 2017 which recognised their long-term commitment to delivering quality dive training and education programs.

Divecrew have Instructor Trainers that teach PADI Instructors how to deal with the physically and mentally challenged. Working through the charity Deptherapy, the Instructor Trainers include the Expedition Director and Deputy Expedition Director for the rehabilitation of injured troops. Most of the professional team are trained in adaptive techniques and also trained in child and adult safeguarding as well as Level 2 NVQ’s in Mental Health, Autism and Behaviour that Challenges. Deptherapy is acknowledged in the diving industry as world leaders in adaptive teaching techniques ensuring divers are PADI Divers, not disabled divers. These incredible teaching techniques are deployed by Divecrew to assist the local community too including the very nervous, non-weight bearing, the mentally challenged with ADHD, Aspergers and Autism. The results speak for themselves. A Senior Executive of PADI Described Divecrew as a truly genuine 5 Star Facility.

Divecrew are different, they are acknowledged nationally and internationally for their work, commitment and business ethics as well as being the premier schools service provider. Divecrew now await a decision for the National Finals of the Federation of Small Businesses Family Business of the Year and they have also been nominated in the UK Business Enterprise Awards. 2018 is going to a busy year for Divecrew.

Divecrew initially became actively involved with the true charity Deptherapy (no one is paid all volunteers), when they were in need of funding. One of the co-owners was so moved he personally sponsored an injured troop member. Divecrew turned out to be a stalwart supporter of Deptherapy, raising tens of thousands of pounds to assist injured troops in specially adapted scuba diving programmes which have been shown to have profound rehabilitation properties and health benefits. This was the recognition of PADI.

Divecrew were awarded their PADI 15 Years’ Membership Award in 2004 and have continued to deliver quality education and training as outlined by the world’s leading scuba diver training organisation.
