A big thanks to all you happy and obviously keen divers out there that have helped us grab a Top 3 Position with PADI here in the UK for the 4th year running. Scuba + Outdoor are now officially the third biggest PADI Centre in the UK, based on overall diver certifications in 2009 – Wow the team were busy !!

Ok its not quite Number One, and having been Number Two for the last three years it could be seen as a little disapointing (especially if you are a meglomaniac like Mark) but look at it another way. With over 260 Dive Centres in the UK alone it is actually pretty damn impressive that our Scuba + Outdoor PADI Centres here in the Midlands, that are about as far away from the coast as possible, are out performing at least 258 of them – Wow the team were busy (again) !!

So without further ado we would like to pass on a huge thanks to all our students in 2009 and cordually invite you to return to continue your adventure in 2010. There is definatly a Number One slot with our name on for this year – Wow the team are going to be busy !!

So are you ready to spring into action with our new Spring training sale on offer… I am sure you will be all out eating plenty of 99 ice creams so why not  try out  our 99 offer…

We are offering your Enriched Air Nitrox or Drysuit speciality with Scuba + Outdoor for Only £99 all in for either course, all you need to do to get this offer is book it while your on one of the Scuba + Outdoor courses and this speial offer is all yours….

So go on why not give one of the stores a call and get booked on….:-)

Its all over and the Fat Lady has done her singing, and its time to walk off with the Diver Awards Retailer of the Year 2009 – Runner Up Award !

Ok its not quite first place, but a respectable second out of the 350+ dive stores here in the UK is certainly alright by us, so a big thankyou to all of you that voted and gave us your support !

If you’re passing one of the stores then now is a great time to pop in for a coffee, because we’re all super pleased with ourselves and more than happy to put the kettle on and tell you how great we are over a cup of coffee.

Once again a big thanks for all your support through 2009, and we hope to make sure we keep you smiling and happy through 2010 and beyond – Happy Bubbles !
