Premier Update
January 2009
January saw the team back in the water for our 3rd Open Water course, Alan, Clair, Jay and our own Bridget are all progressing well and nearing completion of their course, Alan and Clair to their mystery honeymoon destination (hopefully its not a mystery to Alan) with Jay and Bridget heading to "sunny" Capernwray.
Ian and Carole (two of our first four students) are now getting excited about their forthcoming Maldives trip and eagerly await the shiny new equipment they have ordered from us.
Congratulations also to Amy who won her school's Fenwick Challenge Award and chose to do a Snorkel and Scuba experience with us, below is a brief extract of her report for the school magazine.
"My instructor was called Sue and she was just fantastic! We started the session with some information about how all the equipment for snorkelling and scuba work and fit together. It is really important for safety to check everything very carefully. Then we got into the pool and started with lots of snorkelling games to get me used to wearing the snorkel and mask and to practise getting around the pool. I even had an underwater egg and spoon race!"
February’s speciality is Drysuit at a discounted rate if you are interested call Ian on 07534 799597 or Peter on 07534 799598.
Premier Update
24th November 2008
Congratulations to Julian for recently passing his EFR course and also achieving his Rescue Diver certification. It wasn’t the warmest of weekends at Ellerton Park where we did the Rescue course but I’m sure Julian will admit, maybe with a touch of hindsight, that it was both hard work and a lot of fun. Thanks also to all the willing victims, particularly Lou and Chris, who selflessly played the tired, panicked and obviously very unlucky divers over the two days. Despite their undoubted acting skills (we had to remind a few passers-by this was only a training exercise) all of our “bodies” were ably rescued, de-kitted and resuscitated by Julian. Fancy starting your Divemaster course now Julian?
Chris and Debbie also completed their EFR refresher as did our own Pete. Congratulations to all.
After their five weeks in the pool and a great weekend at Capernwray Sonia got her Scuba Diver qualification and Gaberieli his Open-Water certification. Well done to both of you. We look forward to seeing you back in the water with us.
Our last Open-Water course before Christmas is coming to an end. Book now for the next course – we have a few places left. Also very early in the New Year we’ll be running another EFR and Rescue Diver course, Deep, Enriched Air and Wreck specialties – we’ll be posting the dates on the web-site soon.

First Open Water Course Complete!

Well – we’ve now completed Premier Diving’s first Open Water course. We had five pool sessions over a month or so then finished off at Capernwray on 30/31 August.
Everyone passed the course – so congratulations to Ed, Steph, Carole and Ian. They are now looking forward to pleasure diving on the holidays they have already booked at Sharm and the Maldives.
Our next pool session starts on Wednesday 17th September – we still have spaces on the next Open Water course. We’re about to start a Rescue Diver and Emergency First Response Course so give us a call or email to book on. We will run Discover Scuba Diving sessions every Wednesday – contact us to reserve your space.
Premier Diving commences trading on 1st July 2008
1st July 2008
A new dive training business opened its doors on 1st July 2008. Based in Leeds Premier Diving has ambitious plans to promote diving as an exciting, different sport which can be enjoyed by most people. The business has invested in brand new dive school equipment. The ethos of the business is to provide high quality services in all aspects of its operation. From its well equipped training centre conveniently located on the northern edge of the city centre it’s a short drive to the pool.
Autumn programme
The first Open Water course, which is fully booked, commences on 17th July. The next Open Water course starts on 17th September together with a range of other PADI courses. Discover Scuba will be run every week for people who want to ‘dip their toes (or whole bodies) in the water to see if they like it. Qualified divers who are ring rusty can have a Scuba Review to get back into diving, these are also available every week. More advanced training such as Rescue and Divemaster are also offered.
Delivery of new training equipment and compressor
Late June saw the arrival and installation of a new, shiny L&W compressor capable of filling cylinders up to 300bar. The Apex regulators and Cressi BCDs are ready for our first student divers.
Premier Diving is ready for business!
