Dr Anne-Marie Kitchen-Wheeler, who studied manta rays for her PhD, will be giving the talks and sharing with you her fantastic knowledge and enthusiasm for these beautiful creatures, as well as her first-hand experience of diving in the Maldives, Socorro and the Galapagos Islands.

French Polynesia is our newest destination, so come and ask us about diving in paradise … and find out about a special Red Sea trip that we’re busy planning!  We will also have new Maldives Resorts to tell you about, some fabulous Show Offers and a ‘Name the Manta’ Competition for you to enter.

On 1st June 1987 Dive Master Insurance Consultants commenced its business as an independent insurance provider to recreational divers in the UK.

However, recreational diving remains at the core of our business activities and we are probably the largest independent provider of recreational dive related insurance in the world.  Our business is built on our reputation for reliability and integrity; we are the partner the dive trade relies on and our brand is respected by sports divers worldwide.  As we approach our 30th Anniversary we’d like to thank you all for your custom and wish you safe and happy diving!
