We divers are always eager to improve and we are well aware of deficiencies in our technique but where do you go to become a better diver if you have done the basic courses, logged a couple of hundred dives and do not want to take the professional route through dive master and instructor?

Simon solves this dilemma with Scuba Confidential, offering valuable insights on a vast range of topics. Have you ever wondered: –

  • How to look as good in the water as the professionals?
  • What to consider when choosing an instructor?
  • How you can make sure you buy the right equipment?
  • If you would make a good technical diver?
  • If you should be considering a rebreather?
  • How you can reduce your air consumption?
  • What it is like to do a cave diving course?
  • Why diving accidents happen and how to prevent them?
  • Whether you might actually be safer solo diving?
  • How to dive deep safely?
  • How muck diving can possibly be any fun?
  • The things even the pros get wrong? and
  • Where to find the best diving in the world?

Scuba Confidential has the answers to all these questions and many more.
