Dive With Jimmy

Unleash your inner explorer

Dive With Jimmy is Bedfordshire's premier underwater adventure centre, specialising in teaching scuba diving courses from both British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC) and Scuba Schools International (SSI). Whether you’re looking for beginner recreational scuba diving courses, specialty scuba diving courses, extended range and technical diving courses or CCR courses, we have something for you. We also cater for Snorkelers and Freedivers.

We are conveniently located in Kempston, Bedfordshire which provides easy access and travel to many UK diving sites. Whether you want to learn how to scuba dive or develop new skills, we pride ourselves on giving our students the best training and knowledge to help them in their scuba diving journey.

We run a pool night on a Tuesday evening at Robinson Pool in Bedford and offer a Membership scheme which is offers a fantastic deal for those of you that want to join the Dive With Jimmy community.

At Dive With Jimmy we feel scuba divers should be equipped with the tools they need to enjoy scuba diving, whether here in the UK or in a tropical location, and so we offer many specialty courses to help you along your journey from Drysuit to Marine Ecology to Wreck Diving.

We believe in quality over quantity and only run small classes; our maximum recreational scuba diving courses are 4 students to 1 instructor and our technical diving classes are a maximum of 2 students to 1 instructor, and we run courses even for one student. As standard in our Open Water / Ocean Diver classes, we also include the Enriched Air Nitrox course, a great safety tool for any diver.

Our compressor facility is up and running for your gas filling and blending needs including breathing air, enriched air nitrox (EANx) and trimix. We even fill PCP Air Rifle cylinders and AirSoft cylinders.

We have a showroom on site which stocks all the essentials for diving and, through our dealer network, we are able to source almost any diving equipment you need. We are a Shearwater computer dealer, offering the latest dive computers.

With years of knowledge and experience, we are here to give each student the best experience to get the most from their diving journey.
