Join me in Gozo & Malta for your next RAID recreationl diving course and learn from a dedicated professional instructor and examiner who is passionate about teaching diving.
Exploring the underwater world is the closest most of us will ever get to going somewhere where only a few have been before us. The feeling of weightlessness coupled with the spectacular view of the aquatic world is something you can’t experience anywhere else – except maybe space.Exploring the underwater world is the closest most of us will ever get to going somewhere where only a few have been before us.

Diving requires learning new skills both physically and mentally and applying them in a team environment to be safe and enjoyable. Recreational diving is the start of every diver’s path. Even the most accomplished explorer started here with a structure of core modules broken down into manageable chunks to allow the aspiring explorer time to learn and gain experience.
I teach with the diver’s end goals in mind, having taught for all the major agencies I now choose to focus on RAID as my primary affiliation. What this means for you. You receive high end instruction and coaching from an experienced Recreational and Technical Instructor Trainer/Examiner. RAID cuts through all the waffle and sales and delivers safe, focused training with the emphasis on a modern approach. I choose to utilize techniques taken from high end diver training and bring them to entry level divers so regardless of how far they take their dive training, the basics are installed from the foundation.
Training and enabling divers to achieve their goals is something I enjoy immensely. My priority is imparting the necessary skill sets in a tranquil environment, with no more than 2 participants at a time unless otherwise specified - so that they can confidently go dive safely while having fun doing it!

Tobys instruction is first class. He takes the time to listen to what you want to achieve so you never feel rushed and each dive is tailor-made to make the most of your time under water. He also works closely with leading suppliers so is a great resource for any equipment. Would highly recommend.

Toby was a great instructor. I thoroughly enjoyed my diving with him in Gozo. The dives we did we amazing, I had a great experience!
I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to returning soon to explore more wrecks.

Before working with Toby, I'd never dived. Now I confidently dive 40m wreck on nitrox. I owe that entirely to his teaching, encouragement and (in no small measure) his patience. Both in and out of the water, his instruction and professionalism dispelled any anxieties I had and ensured I felt safe throughout.
