Dive Wimbledon, Dive Balham,and Dive Kingston were founded by Roger and Jane Hirst. Dive Wimbledon was started 17 years ago in response to a lack of professional diving schools in London. Having taught around the world before teaching in the UK we were surprised and disappointed to see the casual and unprofessional way that diving is sometimes taught here.
Diving should be fun, it is a sport, but it should also be taught properly and thoroughly. If good habits are picked up early then you will be a safer diver and get greater enjoyment through increased confidence in your own ability. Our aim is to ensure the highest quality of diver education with the maximum enjoyment.
Roger is a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer with over 1950 logged dives and has certified 800+ divers all over the world. Over the last 30 years he has worked in England, Egypt, Thailand, and Honduras. For the last 23 years he has been teaching in South West London. Jane Hirst is a PADI Divemaster with over 300 dives. She has been helping Roger teach for 25 years now and is always ready to help new divers with any questions or cope with any difficulties
