Tim Yarrow

In 1992, whilst travelling with my brother Simon, we got the opportunity to learn to dive in Hawaii. Chuck our instructor was a PADI Course Director and his knowledge and passion for diving and marine life was incredible. From the start, we realised we were being taught by someone quite special.

When deciding to become instructors, we agreed we would embrace the essence of Chuck and teach divers who are both confident in the water and have a passion for observing and preserving the delicate marine ecosystem.

I have now been teaching for 21 years and have had the privilege to dive and work in some of the most beautiful parts of the world, with some of the most amazing dedicated people.

In memory of Simon whose passion and knowledge of the underwater world inspires me everyday.

Our Lead Diver is a world record breaker!

Done in 2002 whist working in South Africa as a promotional idea for a new dive centre I worked for, 3D Dive, whilst raising money for the South African Lifeboat Association.

The previous record was set in 1986 and was 8 ¾ days but we set the target of 10 days to gain maximum exposure on a Saturday lunchtime.
